Use a Terraform
TipYou may test your script beforehand on an existing
server. This may save unnecessary
Terraform |

Q: |
Extend Working on Cloud-init
generating both a Avoiding ssh host key issues on login
we require the creation of a 157.180.78.16 ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIJDd+x7b80BM97rTU4RCM/CP+K7u4QAqx8ulDdXm9JDv We assume this file being generated at
#!/usr/bin/env bash
GEN_DIR=$(dirname "$0")/../gen
ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile="$GEN_DIR/known_hosts" devops@157.180.78.16 "$@"
# end of scriptThis way invoking ./bin/ssh will instruct the
ssh client to read
For generating this script we start from a corresponding
#!/usr/bin/env bash GEN_DIR=$(dirname "$0")/../gen ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile="$GEN_DIR/known_hosts" ${devopsUsername}@${ip} "$@" # end of script We then let Terraform use this template replacing ${devopsUsername} and ${ip} by your deployment's actual values. As shown in Figure 1113, “Parent module vs. sub module context ” point to your
child module's local resource "local_file" "ssh_script" { content = templatefile("${path.module}/tpl/ssh.sh", { ... } Likewise create a #!/usr/bin/env bash GEN_DIR=$(dirname "$0")/../gen if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then echo usage: .../bin/scp ... devops@157.180.78.16 ... else scp -o UserKnownHostsFile="$GEN_DIR/known_hosts" $@ fi # end of script Since copying objects requires at least a source and a
destination parameter this script checks for the presence of at
least two extra user supplied values by means of |
