This is a preview release of the next major version of terraform-provider-libvirt.

New Features

Terraform Registry

• The provider is now available in the Terraform Registry and can be automatically installed by Terraform by using provider requirements.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    libvirt = {
      source = "dmacvicar/libvirt"
      version = "0.6.9-pre3"
    }
  }
}

provider "libvirt" {
  # Configuration options
}

$ terraform init

Should automatically install the provider.

Single Linux build

• The Linux build should work on all Linux distributions.

The provider does not link to libvirt anymore. Instead it uses the amazing go-libvirt, which implements the libvirt XDR-based RPC protocol.

Windows and MacOS support

• Because of the above, the provider should work on Windows and MacOS

This release is brought to you by the community. Contributors like @kskewes and @MalloZup made this big port possible. Thanks also to the go-libvirt developers who helped getting digitalocean/go-libvirt#138 and digitalocean/go-libvirt#125 merged.

Release Notes

• There is support for the TLS, SSH and Unix domain sockets transports. They haven't been extensively tested yet. Help is appreciated.
