Timescale Terraform Provider

The Terraform provider for Timescale.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 1.0

Quick Start

Authorization

When you log in to your Timescale Account, navigate to the Project settings page. From here, you can create client credentials for programmatic usage. Click the Create credentials button to generate a new public/secret key pair.

Find more information on creating Client Credentials in the Timescale docs.

Project ID

The project ID can be found from the Services dashboard. In the upper right-hand side of the page, click on the three vertical dots to view the project ID.

Create a main.tf configuration file with the following content.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    timescale = {
      source  = "timescale/timescale"
      version = "x.y.z"
    }
  }
}

provider "timescale" {
  project_id = var.ts_project_id
  access_key = var.ts_access_key
  secret_key = var.ts_secret_key
}

variable "ts_project_id" {
  type = string
}

variable "ts_access_key" {
  type = string
}

variable "ts_secret_key" {
  type = string
}

resource "timescale_service" "test" {
  # name       = ""
  # milli_cpu  = 500
  # memory_gb  = 2
  # region_code = "us-east-1"
}

Local Provider Usage and Development

Requirements

• Go >= v1.20

Building The Provider

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider using the Go install command:

go install .

Generating the provider documentation

go generate

Local provider development override

To use the locally built provider, create a ~/.terraformrc file with the following content

provider_installation {

dev_overrides {
   "registry.terraform.io/providers/timescale" = "<PATH>"
}

direct {}
}

Change the <Path> variable to be the location of your GOBIN.

Developing the Provider

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

To generate or update documentation, run go generate.

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources.
