Getting the provider plugin

There are two ways of getting the plugin and using it:

  • Use the published provider plugin from the Terraform registry: You do not need to do anything special, the plugin will be installed by Terraform automatically once it is mentioned as a requirement in your .tf files.
  • Build from GitHub repository source code: This way is suitable for those who want to introduce some customizations or get the latest features under development, which are not in the official plugin yet.

Getting it from the Terraform Official Registry

Specify the plugin version in the .tf file as follows:

  terraform {
    required_providers {
      infoblox = {
        source = "infobloxopen/infoblox"
        version = ">= 2.7.0"
      }
    }
  }

  provider "infoblox" {
    # Configuration options
    server = "nios_ip-addr"
    username = "username"
    password = "password"
  }

Configure the credentials as environment variables as follows:

  $ export INFOBLOX_SERVER=<nios_ip-addr> or <hostname>
  $ export INFOBLOX_USERNAME=<nios_username>
  $ export INFOBLOX_PASSWORD=<nios_password>

Terraform installs the specified version of the plugin when a terraform init is run.

Refer to the official documentation for more information https://registry.terraform.io/providers/infobloxopen/infoblox/latest/docs .

Building a Binary from the GitHub Source Code and Using it

Complete the following steps to build the binary:

  • Install and set up Golang version 1.21 or later from: https://golang.org/doc/install
  • Install Terraform CLI v1.8.1+ from:
    https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
  • Clone the repo and build it as follows: 
      $ cd `go env GOPATH`/src
  $ mkdir -p github.com/infobloxopen
  $ cd github.com/infobloxopen
  $ git clone https://github.com/infobloxopen/terraform-provider-infoblox
  $ cd terraform-provider-infoblox
  $ make build

To install the resulting binary as a plugin, follow the instructions on page:
