A Terraform provider for F5 BigIP LTM.

• Terraform > 0.12.x
• Go v1.21.3 (to build the provider plugin)

• This provider uses the iControlREST API, make sure that it is installed and enabled on your F5 device before proceeding.

These BIG-IP versions are supported in these Terraform versions.

Documentation for the F5 BIG-IP terraform integration is available at https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/terraform/latest/

Terraform provider documentation is available at https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/bigip/index.html

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/F5Networks/terraform-provider-bigip

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/F5Networks; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/F5Networks
$ git clone https://github.com/F5Networks/terraform-provider-bigip.git

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/F5Networks/terraform-provider-bigip
$ make build

If you're building the provider, follow the instructions to install it as a plugin. After placing it into your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it.

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.11+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor GO111MODULE=on make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-bigip
...

Running the acceptance test suite requires an F5 to test against. Set BIGIP_HOST, BIGIP_USER and BIGIP_PASSWORD to a device to run the tests against. By default tests will use the Common partition for creating objects. You can change the partition by setting BIGIP_TEST_PARTITION.

BIGIP_HOST=f5.mycompany.com BIGIP_USER=foo BIGIP_PASSWORD=secret make testacc
