Installation

This section guides you on how to setup this repo for your own use.

1. First, ensure Terraform is installed on your dev computer.

2. Ensure the AWS CLI is also installed on your dev computer.

3. In the AWS console, create an IAM User for Terraform to use.

4. Run aws configure in your terminal to configure the AWS CLI to use said IAM User. This is how Terraform will gain access to your AWS account.

5. In your desired project folder, clone the project with the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/PScoriae/terraform-infra

6. Get your Cloudflare API token for Terraform to use.

7. Get the Zone IDs for each Cloudflare DNS domain you wish to access through Terraform

8. Create a terraform.tfvars file in the root directory of your project. It holds the credentials to your Cloudflare account. You may refer to terraform.example.tfvars

9. Finally, run terraform init in the root directory to set up the Terraform backend.
