Support provider_override about terraform-provider-proxmox HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @maxexcloo! 👋🏼

Your response is clear and informative. Here's a minor refinement for clarity:

I'm not quite sure what problem you're trying to solve with this enhancement. Is it about deploying different resources to different nodes in a cluster? If that's the case, the node_name should suffice for the provider. However, you may need to configure additional node name mapping if your node names aren't resolvable in your LAN by DNS (with the default domain).

Regardless of that, the provider expects all nodes in the cluster to have the same authentication configuration for the SSH connection (SSH user, password, or SSH key), and this is unlikely to change.

Let me know if that helps, or if you'd like to discuss this feature further.

Unfortunately as my servers are in different geographic locations I can’t use clusters and as such I need to use a new provider per server currently - as I have many servers this means huge duplication throughout my code (unfortunately Terraform has not supported dynamic providers for several years…)

Hi @maxexcloo, have you tried provider aliases?

I have and they work, unfortunately I can’t use them in a programmatic way and as I have a lot of servers I end up having to manually duplicate everything out (if there were provider overrides it would be a simple for_each).
