Proposal: Add options for SSH identity file and passphrase to Docker provider about terraform-provider-docker HOT 9 CLOSED

From #101, the proposal:

provider "docker" {
  host = "ssh://user@remote-host:22"
  private_key = file(var.my_key_path)
}

I believe it is possible to use terraform builtins for the connection as the null_resource provider allows for a connection.private_key field. There may be other providers that use this pattern, but this is the only example I have offhand.

Let's see if we make that with #119

feel free to file a PR :) unfortunately we're busy with the refactorings and release this feature as well then

Hello.
Same issue here. Please add possibility to add private key, passphrase.

Looks like something about this line needs updating.

The updated function to enable this appears to have been made here:
https://github.com/docker/cli/blob/d26bdfd4ea235a4e94c5fc907215b197280f80c0/cli/connhelper/connhelper.go#L33

too much effort to try making it work. The Docker provider needs more work. Refer to #80

In my case i was trying to make it work from terraform cloud. It was a pain. Refer to https://discuss.hashicorp.com/t/docker-provider-in-terraform-cloud-error-failed-to-query-available-provider-packages/21148

I will use a combination of

1. user_data.tpl in my terraform cloud workspace that installs latest docker-compose version up to now 2021-02-22

COMPOSE_VERSION="1.28.4"
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/$COMPOSE_VERSION/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

2. a docker-compose file embedded in a terraform string variable. See https://gist.github.com/jamesmishra/18ee5d7d053db9958d0e4ccbb37f8e1d

3. finally pray that all of this works and I can restore a PostgreSQL dump from 9.3.3 to RDS PostgreSQL 9.6

As far as my knowledge of Terraform goes the connection directive is only for provisioners, not for resources:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/resources/provisioners/connection.html

Another reference:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-sdk/blob/112e2164c381d80e8ada3170dac9a8a5db01079a/terraform/state.go#L1592

Look at the comment: "ConnInfo is used for the providers to export information which is used to connect to the resource for provisioning".

So it's not a pattern for providers, it's a built-in directive for provisioners.
