Terraformer
A CLI tool that generates tf/json and tfstate files based on existing infrastructure (reverse Terraform).
For more general information about capabilities, commands and other topics, you can read this.
Use with IONOS Cloud
Authentication
Proper credential must be configured, before it can be used. You can set the environment variables for HTTP basic authentication:
export IONOS_USERNAME="username"
export IONOS_PASSWORD="password"
Or you can use token authentication:
export IONOS_TOKEN="token"
Build
In order to build Terraformer with IONOS Cloud Provider, you can run the following command:
go run build/main.go ionoscloud
This will create an executable named terraformer-ionoscloud.
Execution
You can execute the previously created executable and you can ask Terraformer to import various resources (if they are supported) in various ways. The command presented below imports all LAN resources:
./terraformer-ionoscloud import ionoscloud --resources=lan
The name of the resource must exist in the list of supported IONOS Cloud resources presented above and must match the exact naming.
For more details/options about how the executable can be used, please read this.

We allow only resources that provide valid terraform plans to be imported. If you do not see your resource in the tf plan, please enable TF_LOG=debug and check logs for a message that will let you know why the resource was not imported.
Notes:
A server must have a NIC and a volume attached to be allowed to be imported by terraformer.
A server must also have a BootVolume set.
