Terraform Provider RouterOS

Note: In release 1.43, the resource schemas have been changed:

• routeros_routing_bgp_connection
• routeros_ipv6_neighbor_discovery
• routeros_interface_wireguard_peer

For the first two to work correctly, you must remove the resource state (terraform state rm <name>) and import it again (terraform import [options] <name> <id>).

Purpose

This provider allows you to configure Mikrotik routers using old API or REST API, using or not using TLS. Compatibility testing is only performed within ROS version 7.x.

From version 1.0.0, the provider has been rewritten by vaerh, and their fork has now been merged. This version drastically improves adding new endpoints to the provider, enabling significantly easier development. vaerh has been added as a maintainer to this project.

We are not affiliated in any way with Mikrotik or the development of RouterOS

Using the provider

To get started with the provider, you first need to enable the REST API on your router. You can follow the Mikrotik documentation on this, but the gist is to create an SSL cert (in /system/certificates) and enable the web-ssl service (in /ip/services) which uses that certificate. After that, include the following in your Terraform manifests:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    routeros = {
      source = "terraform-routeros/routeros"
    }
  }
}

provider "routeros" {
  hosturl  = "(http|https|api|apis)://my.router.local[:port]"
  username = "my_username"
  password = "my_super_secret_password"
}

For more in-depth documentation about each of the resources and datasources, please read the documentation on Hashicorp's Provider registry
