DigitalOcean Terraform Provider Reference

The DigitalOcean Terraform provider is used to interact with the resources supported by DigitalOcean. The provider needs to be configured with the proper credentials before it can be used.

For a step-by-step guide to installing and configuring Terraform, please see How to Configure Terraform for DigitalOcean.

Example Usage

terraform {
  required_providers {
    digitalocean = {
      source = "digitalocean/digitalocean"
      version = "~> 2.0"
    }
  }
}

# Set the variable value in *.tfvars file
# or using -var="do_token=..." CLI option
variable "do_token" {}

# Configure the DigitalOcean Provider
provider "digitalocean" {
  token = var.do_token
}

# Create a web server
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "web" {
  # ...
}
