Terraform ACME Provider

This repository contains a plugin form of the ACME provider that was proposed and submitted in Terraform PR #7058.

Why a Plugin?

As documented in the thread in the PR, making use of xenolf/lego, while being very helpful in creating this feature, nontheless created some coupling of the authorization and certificate generation process that (rightfully) did not sit well with the core TF team. Further to that, as the authorization process allows the use of DNS provdiers that Terraform has support for, the potential to cross provider boundaries exists.

Hence it was determined that it might not be the best fit for upstream for the time being.

Nonetheless, the code in this repository is still completely functional and there have been a few people that have found it useful. An external plugin was requested, so here it is. :)

Installing

See the Plugin Basics page of the Terraform docs to see how to plunk this into your config. Check the releases page of this repo to get releases for Linux, OS X, and Windows.

Usage
