Terraform Provider Update

README.md

Why?

When you run terraform init terraform will download required providers from its server, unless you have cached providers in your directory.

How

create folder .terraform.d/plugins in your home directory, then create file update-providers.sh

update-providers.sh

#!/bin/sh

# place this script in ~/.terraform.d/plugins/update-providers.sh
# List of providers that want to be updated
providers=(
  "archive"
  "aws"
  "local"
  "random"
  "template"
)

base_url="https://releases.hashicorp.com"
for name in "${providers[@]}"; do
  provider_url="${base_url}/terraform-provider-${name}"
  
  echo -n "Updating terraform-provider-${name}... "
  version=$(curl -s "${provider_url}/" | grep "href=\"/terraform-provider-${name}/" | head -1 | sed -E 's#^.*([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*$#\1#')
  plugin_file="terraform-provider-${name}_v${version}_x4"
  
  if [ ! -f "${plugin_file}" ]; then
    zip_file="terraform-provider-${name}_${version}_linux_amd64.zip"
    download_url="${provider_url}/${version}/terraform-provider-${name}_${version}_linux_amd64.zip"
    
    echo -n "Downloading ${zip_file}... "
    curl -sL -o "${zip_file}" "${download_url}"
    unzip "${zip_file}" > /dev/null
    rm "${zip_file}"
    echo "Done."
  else
    echo "Up to date."
  fi
done
