terraform-provider-godaddy

Terraform plugin for managing domain records

Installation steps for Terraform Cloud

1. Download the latest linux_amd64 release from https://github.com/n3integration/terraform-provider-godaddy/releases
2. Unpack to <project folder>/terraform.d/plugins/linux_amd64.
3. Rename to match naming scheme: terraform-provider-<NAME>_vX.Y.Z https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/providers.html#third-party-plugins
4. Run terraform init to make sure the provider is initialized properly.

API Key

In order to leverage the GoDaddy APIs, an API key is required. The key pair can be optionally stored in environment variables.

export GODADDY_API_KEY=abc
export GODADDY_API_SECRET=123

Provider

If key and secret aren't provided under the godaddy provider, they are expected to be exposed as environment variables: GODADDY_API_KEY and GODADDY_API_SECRET.

provider "godaddy" {
  key = "abc"
  secret = "123"
}

Domain Record Resource

A godaddy_domain_record resource requires a domain. If the domain is not registered under the account that owns the key, an optional customer number can be specified. Additionally, one or more record instances are required. For each record, the name, type, and data attributes are required. MX records can optionally specify priority or will default to 0. Address and NameServer records can be defined using shorthand-notation as addresses = [""] or nameservers = [""], respectively unless you need to override the default time-to-live (3600). The available record types include:

• A
• AAAA
• CAA
• CNAME
• MX
• NS
• SOA
• SRV
• TXT

resource "godaddy_domain_record" "gd-fancy-domain" {
  domain   = "fancy-domain.com"

  // required if provider key does not belong to customer
  customer = "1234"

  // specify zero or more record blocks
  // a record block allows you to configure A, or NS records with a custom time-to-live value
  // a record block also allow you to configure AAAA, CNAME, TXT, or MX records
  record {
    name = "www"
    type = "CNAME"
    data = "fancy.github.io"
    ttl = 3600
  }

  record {
    name = "@"
    type = "MX"
    data = "aspmx.l.google.com."
    ttl = 600
    priority = 1
  }

  record {
    name      = "@"
    type      = "SRV"
    data      = "host.example.com"
    ttl       = 3600
    service   = "_ldap"
    protocol  = "_tcp"
    port      = 389
  }

  // specify any A records associated with the domain
  addresses   = ["192.168.1.2", "192.168.1.3"]

  // specify any custom nameservers for your domain
  // note: godaddy now requires that the 'custom' nameservers are first supplied through the ui
  nameservers = ["ns7.domains.com", "ns6.domains.com"]
}

Building for Linux

make linux

Additional Information

If your zone contains existing data, please ensure that your Terraform resource configuration includes all existing records, otherwise they will be removed.

This plugin also supports Terraform's import feature. This will at least allow you to determine the changes introduced through terraform plan and update the resource configuration accordingly to preserve existing data. The supplied resource id to the terraform import command should be the name of the domain that you would like to import. Although this is currently a manual workaround, this plugin will be updated when Terraform includes support for fully automated imports.

Import Example

terraform import godaddy_domain_record.gd-fancy-domain fancy-domain.com
