Terraform provider for ethereum accounts

Terraform provider to generate ethereum accounts. A simple provider that allows you to create ethereum accounts and tracked with terraform. useful if you want to generate keys and store in vault or aws secrets manager.

Usage

1. Build the provider make build
2. Copy the binary from bin to $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins, remove the archOS sufix.
3. Copy the following terraform code to a main.tf file.

provider "ethereum" {}

resource "ethereum_keystore_account" "key_test_empty_passphrase" {
 scrypt_encryption = "lightkdf"
}

resource "ethereum_keystore_account" "key_test_passphrase" {
  scrypt_encryption = "lightkdf"
  passphrase = "mySuperSecurePassphrase"
}

4. Execute terraform plan and terraform apply

Importing accounts

You can import existing ethereum accounts with the private key and it's passphrase.

1. Add the resource that you want to import to your terraform code.

resource "ethereum_keystore_account" "key_you_want_import" {
  scrypt_encryption = "lightkdf"
  passphrase = "mySuperSecurePassphrase"
}

2. Execute terraform import ethereum_keystore_account.key_you_want_import yourPrivateKey_yourPassphrase
3. You can also import a ethereum key with an empty passphrase. terraform import ethereum_keystore_account.key_you_want_import yourPrivateKey_, make sure to set the underscore after the private key.

What if you don't have the private key ?

You can use a small tool inside scripts folder (scripts/private_key.go) to get your private key from a kestore JSON account.

go run private_key.go <path-to-your-json-keystore> <passphrase>

The output is your private key. After this, you can follow the import instructions to import your key into terraform code.
