# Usage (Ubuntu 22.04 host)

[![Lint](https://github.com/rgl/terraform-libvirt-debian-example/actions/workflows/lint.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/rgl/terraform-libvirt-debian-example/actions/workflows/lint.yml)

Create and install the [base Debian 12 UEFI vagrant box](https://github.com/rgl/debian-vagrant).

Install Terraform:

```bash
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/1.9.2/terraform_1.9.2_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_1.9.2_linux_amd64.zip
sudo install terraform /usr/local/bin
rm terraform terraform_*_linux_amd64.zip
```

Create the infrastructure:

```bash
export CHECKPOINT_DISABLE=1
export TF_LOG=TRACE
export TF_LOG_PATH="$PWD/terraform.log"
terraform init
terraform plan -out=tfplan
time terraform apply tfplan
```

**NB** if you have errors alike `Could not open '/var/lib/libvirt/images/terraform_example_root.img': Permission denied'` you need to reconfigure libvirt by setting `security_driver = "none"` in `/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf` and restart libvirt with `sudo systemctl restart libvirtd`.

Show information about the libvirt/qemu guest:

```bash
virsh dumpxml terraform_example0
virsh qemu-agent-command terraform_example0 '{"execute":"guest-info"}' --pretty
virsh qemu-agent-command terraform_example0 '{"execute":"guest-network-get-interfaces"}' --pretty
./qemu-agent-guest-exec terraform_example0 id
./qemu-agent-guest-exec terraform_example0 uname -a
ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts -R "$(terraform output --json ips | jq -r '.[0]')"
ssh "vagrant@$(terraform output --json ips | jq -r '.[0]')"
```

Destroy the infrastructure:

```bash
time terraform destroy -auto-approve
```

List this repository dependencies (and which have newer versions):

```bash
GITHUB_COM_TOKEN='YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_TOKEN' ./renovate.sh
```

# Virtual BMC

You can externally control the VM using the following terraform providers:

* [vbmc terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/rgl/vbmc)
* exposes an [IPMI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Platform_Management_Interface) endpoint.
* you can use it with [ipmitool](https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool).
* for more information see the [rgl/terraform-provider-vbmc](https://github.com/rgl/terraform-provider-vbmc) repository.
* [sushy-vbmc terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/rgl/sushy-vbmc)
* exposes a [Redfish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfish_(specification)) endpoint.
