Terraform Provider CouchDB

A Terraform provider for CouchDB.

• Support for the CouchDB API v3
• Lazy initialization of the CouchDB connection
• Retry logic for provisioning a database

Requirements

• Terraform 0.12.x
• Go 1.14 (to build the provider plugin)

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/rossmerr/terraform-provider-couchdb

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/rossmerr; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/rossmerr
$ git clone git@github.com/rossmerr/terraform-provider-couchdb

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/rossmerr/terraform-provider-couchdb
$ go install

Using the provider

If you're building the provider, follow the instructions to install it as a plugin.

$HOME/.terraform.d/plugins

After placing it into your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it.

Or run the make install and you can reference the provider locally using

terraform {
  required_providers {
    couchdb = {
      source = "github.com/rossmerr/couchdb"
    }
  }
}

Configuring the provider

provider "couchdb" {
    endpoint = "localhost:5984"
    name = "jenny"
    password = "secret" 
}
 
resource "couchdb_database" "db1" {
    name = "example"
}

resource "couchdb_database_replication" "db2db" {
    name = "example"
    source = couchdb_database.db1.name
    target = "example-clone"
    create_target = true
    continuous = true
}

resource "couchdb_database_design_document" "test" {
    database = couchdb_database.db1.name
    name = "types"
    views = <<EOF
    {
        "people" : {
            "map" : "function(doc) { if (doc.type == 'person') { emit(doc); } }",
            "reduce": ""           
        }
    }
    EOF
}
