Add terraform config for deploying Athens?

[arschles]

We have a helm chart, so it might be nice to also have terraform configs for deploying Athens to various targets. On releases, we could then publish the terraform configs to hashicorp’s registry

[schafer14]

This sounds fun! Can I have a go at it?

[arschles]

@schafer14 you got it 😄

[schafer14]

Unfortunately, I am not going to have time to do this :( If someone else wants to take over that would be great.

[arschles]

@schafer14 no worries. thanks for the update 😄

@arschles I am happy to pick this up, if you can give a little more context and a small example with what you mean with: 🙏

terraform configs for deploying Athens to various targets.

@geototti21 I put this Terraform module together last year to deploy Athens to a DO droplet: https://github.com/timraymond/terraform-athens-digitalocean

I think it still works... though I haven't tried recently. It may need updating with some slight changes in the DO provider. The only acrobatics that had to be done were here to get persistent storage: https://github.com/timraymond/terraform-athens-digitalocean/blob/bd28edab750208af0fec5d0dbffc6c615f93cef2/scripts/install.sh.tmpl#L19-L24 . Beyond that, I think any Ubuntu host should do, so it should be reasonably easy to port to Azure / GCP / AWS / etc. modulo setting up disks and networking.

Let me know if you'd like a walkthrough, and we can set up call sometime 😄

Hey @geototti21 👋

How you getting on with this?

Do you mind if I take it over, or work on it together with you? I'm also happy to update the digital ocean example @timraymond suggested above to v0.12 if that's something you were doing?

[arschles]

I have some in-progress stuff here. It's Azure-specific, but if it helps feel free to steal it 😄

[geototti21]

👋 hey @chriscoffee @arschles , I didn't start it yet but I will do something with AWS Fargate so feel free to go ahead with the digital ocean one 😄

[arschles]

@geototti21 sounds good 👍 . I am going to close this issue and open one just for AWS fargate. @chriscoffee @timraymond let me know if you would like me to open one for DO. I'll do one for Azure after GopherCon planning is done

Closing in favor of #1543
