Rancher Terraform DigitalOcean
Terraform module for a rancher server on Digitalocean.
What you will get?
- A Rancher server running on DigitalOcean
- A Domain rule pointing to your Rancher server
Features
- It works with your main DigitalOcean account or with DigitalOcean teams. For using a team you just need that team special token and your SSH keys installed there.
- It doesn't install puppet, chef or ansible on the host. Instead it uses cloud-init.
- It closes all the external and internal traffic and the only ports opened are the
80and8080. - Login with root user is disabled, you will need your SSH keys.
- Iptables rules are persistent after reboot.
- You will get the new DigitalOcean beta metrics agent installed.
What you will need?
- Terraform installed. This was tested with the 0.8.5 version. You can see terraform instructions here.
- A DigitalOcean account. If you still don't have one you can create one here for free.
- You DigitalOcean token. You can get it from here.
- Public and private SSH keys on your local machine and set them up on your Digital Ocean account. You can learn how to do that here.
