Terraform repo

A Terraform module for making static websites

Requirements

• Intall Terraform
• An AWS account
• Install AWS CLI
• An AWS access key ID / secret access key pair,

Set the access key variables:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="xxxxx..."
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="xxxxx..."

Use

1. In the directory with your web files, create a main.tf file calling the module, including a bucket name:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 4.16"
    }
  }

  required_version = ">= 1.7.1"
}

module "bot-fly" {
  source       = "../../bot-fly/terraform" # or github URL

  bucket_name = "< xxxxxxx... >" # a unique bucket name
}

2. Optionally, create a outputs.tf file, or, just add this to the main.tf file:

output "website_url" {
  description = "Website URL (HTTPS)"
  value       = module.bot-fly.website_url
}

output "s3_url" {
  description = "S3 hosting URL (HTTP)"
  value       = module.bot-fly.s3_url
}

This code will output the location your web files are deployed to.

5. Deploy your files:

• terraform init to initialize the directory with hidden files (do not commit them)
• terraform plan to prepare to create AWS resouces
• terraform apply and then type yes to create
• terraform destroy to undo your creation
