How to use Terraformer with Squadcast?

If you are already using Squadcast via API or the Web UI and would like to generate the Terraform files for your existing Squadcast configuration, you can use our Squadcast implementation of Terraformer to do the same.

Download Terraformer binaries

Download the release using any of the following methods:

Go to: https://github.com/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases and download the appropriate binary for your OS.

or

Run the following command:

MacOS

curl -LO https://github.com/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/terraformer-all-darwin-amd64

Linux

curl -LO https://github.com/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/terraformer-all-linux-amd64

Windows

curl -LO https://github.com/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/SquadcastHub/terraformer/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/terraformer-all-windows-amd64

Configure the binaries

Make the binary executable:

chmod +x terraformer-all-<your_os>-<arch>

Add to /usr/local/bin

sudo mv terraformer-all-<your_os>-<arch> /usr/local/bin/terraformer

Setup Terraform

Create a new directory in your home folder and add versions.tf file and add the following code:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    squadcast = {
      source = "SquadcastHub/squadcast"
      version = "1.0.5"
    }
  }
}

Run terraform init

Generate Terraform files

Use terraformer to import resources:

terraformer import squadcast --resources=RESOURCE_NAME(s) --region=REGION --team-name=TEAM_NAME --refresh-token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN

This will create a generated folder with all terraform files(including statefiles) depending upon the previous command.

Update "version" and add "source" in autogenerated "provider.tf" file

Go to /generated/squadcast/<RESOURCE_NAME>/<REGION>/provider.tf

Add source = "SquadcastHub/squadcast" to squadcast inside required_providers

Update version in required_providers by removing .exe (Windows users only)

Update "terraform_version"

cd /generated/squadcast/<RESOURCE_NAME>/<REGION>

terraform state replace-provider -auto-approve "registry.terraform.io/-/squadcast" "SquadcastHub/squadcast"

Use Generated files with Terraform

Update generated files as per your requirement and apply the changes using following commands

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
