Quickstart

Quickstart

Start with Terraform 1.7 or newer, the selected provider's CLI/credentials, a valid Foundry license, and protected Terraform state. Choose one profile using the Provider Guide and Low-Cost Profiles.

1. Clone the repository and choose exactly one deployment directory.
2. Follow that directory's README to copy its own example variables and supply its required credentials. The shared config/ examples are for Hetzner.
3. From that deployment directory, run terraform init, terraform validate, and terraform plan -out=tfplan.
4. Review the saved plan and complete cost before terraform apply tfplan.
5. Validate startup, hostname/TLS, admin access and a backup/restore before inviting players. Install compatible systems and modules inside Foundry.

Standard AWS/Azure/GCP use cloud load-balancer paths; Hetzner and AWS/GCP low cost use a separately configured Cloudflare Tunnel. Inputs are not interchangeable. A Terraform plan does not verify running Foundry or a recoverable world.

Use the canonical README for all six profile links and commands. See Installation and How-To for prerequisites and operation, and validation evidence for the exact tested scope.
