terraform provider for netbird REST API

[theblop]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great to be able to manage netbird server with terraform (a lot of people already use terraform to manage their infrastructure)

Describe the solution you'd like
a terraform provider to interact with the netbird REST API

Hello @theblop, thanks for the request. We are looking at a terraform provider initial version for this quarter. We will keep this updated as we progress with it.

Hey, do you have any updates on the topic? Which resources are you going to support?

I am also curious

Any update on this ? Would be super convenient !

Is this maintained by netbird ?

looks like speakeasy make terraform providers for projects so it looks like the start, hopefully theres a private branch just about to be committed! 🙏

Is it safe (and legal) to use that codebase as a foundation @speakeasy-sdks / @TristanSpeakEasy?

We have a community member working on a provider. We are using the Hashicorp OpenAPI Provider Spec Generator for the foundation.

We should have an initial version of the provider earlier in Q4 this year.

Hey @tafaust that repository is meant to be an example of our generation capabilities at https://github.com/speakeasy-api and may not be up to date with the latest Netbird API. Its actually empty and doesn't have any tf resources defined yet

@mlsmaycon would be happy to help you all generate and maintain a really nice terraform provider. Here are a few we maintain in real time.

• https://github.com/opalsecurity/terraform-provider-opal
• https://github.com/StyraInc/terraform-provider-styra
• https://github.com/teamlumos/terraform-provider-lumos
• https://github.com/Kong/terraform-provider-konnect

Here's a walk through of our generation as well as Hashicorp's method. I'm one of co founders of Speakeasy and would love to help if we can !

Using Speakeasy makes it incredibly simple to create a Terraform provider for Netbird. After some testing, I was able to build a functional provider. However, there are two aspects of the Netbird API that might need addressing:

1. Route Creation: Currently, the Netbird API allows defining either a network or a domain when creating a route. However, if an empty network value is provided while specifying a domain, the API returns an error, as only one of the two is allowed. Could this behavior be adjusted to accept an empty network value when a domain is defined? This change would simplify Terraform provider development, though it is possible to implement a workaround.

2. Setup Key Values: When setup keys are created, their values are returned in plain text. However, subsequent API responses for these keys provide only obfuscated values. This causes the Terraform provider to retrieve only the obfuscated version, which can also be worked around but adds complexity.

According to Speakeasy's documentation, their service might be free for open-source projects. Would the Netbird team be interested in exploring this option?

If you're working on a 'free as in speech' OSS project, you can use Speakeasy for free. Just fill out this TypeForm: https://speakeasyapi.typeform.com/oss-program

Any news?

@mlsmaycon for reference. Maybe Speakeasy is the way to go here? I guess the terraform provider will not be monetised anyways?
