Feature Request: Add this provider to the Terraform public registry

[TrevorVonSeggern]

Expected Behavior

"terraform init" should download this provider without having to manually install the binaries/install from source.

Actual Behavior

"terraform init" => 'Provider "helm" not available for installation.'

I don't believe this is currently possible. The Terraform registry only supports modules, not providers or other plugins. There are plans to change that as noted in hashicorp/terraform#17154, but providers must be installed manually for now.

[TrevorVonSeggern]

Yep, I think you are right. You can close this if you want now, or leave open till terraform supports it.

There is an open issue around hosting providers in the registry: hashicorp/terraform#15252

I'm involved with this task, so I will assign it to myself and post updates as I have more information.

There is another option for you. Officially approved providers hosted on releases.hashicorp.com and downloaded during terraform init. You could submit this provider to the Terraform Provider Development Program.

Yes, it would be awesome if this provider could be part of the official Terraform provider list: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/index.html
