Enable terraform import

Open yuqo2450 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hey there! First of all nice work and thx for keeping this project alive!

I am using packer to create templates for my vms and it would be amazing, if it was possible, to import these templates into my terraform state. Therefore I wanted to ask if it was possible to add the terraform import functionality to this provider. Another option could be to create a data resource for vms.

Thanks a lot!

Hey @Soras2919!

I appreciate your feedback! I took a quick pick at the spec: https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/resources/import.html and it looks like the implementation would require quite a bit of work.

I'm using this provider for my hobby projects, and I have no particular interest in the import functionality, so that's unlikely I will have time to pull that by myself.

VM data source seems to be doable though, let me see into this.

Cheers, @bpg

are there any plans to add the import functionality?

Hi @pescobar! 👋🏼 No, I don't have plans of adding this at the moment. But I'll reopen this ticket to collect more feedback from the community, and perhaps someone could contribute implementation of this feature.

In a meantime, would some minimalistic datasource(s) would be enough to unblock you, e.g. if you need to read just a few attributes of a PVE resource? There was a similar case before: https://github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox/issues/261

Thanks for the kind reply @bpg . No worries, no need to invest any time on adding extra datasources.

Was pretty simple, added a bunch of resources as a part of #390
