terraform-provider-azurerm VS seaweedfs

So this is doing my head in. Related to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/6117

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs

There are different Terraform Providers that enable Terraform to interact with Microsoft Azure. The most common one are Azure Stack, AzureDevops, AzureRM, AzAPI and AzureAD.. In this tutorial, we use the AzureRM Terraform Provider. Let's create a Terraform file for the AzureRM Terraform Provider.

Yeah we imported all the related resources. I could now find an issue, which exactly describes our problem. Unfortunately it is open since 2020: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/8794

Like other people said, use the azurerm provider docs, they're pretty good. But that's where knowing Azure comes in handy because you'll have to figure out what TF resource to use to accomplish a given goal.

It’s not difficult at all syntactically. But you must understand the provider you are automating. So your azure knowledge is key in this case. Read the Azure provider docs and you will be easily able to put something together. https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs

Whoops: WebDAV:

SeaweedFS supports WebDAV. https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV

I'm not able to find if both/restic supports mounting backups as WebDAV, but in theory there's nothing stopping you.

It's 100% user space (expose a rest service) and supported by a bunch of file-browsers with a bit of a network aware component to it as well.

If you want/need to take out the metadata, there's some nice solutions for that https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

I posted this on https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/discussions/5290

I like the idea of using SeaweedFS as an intermediate layer with object write notifications going to SQS, RabbitMQ, or a local file, which could also allow me to observe the changes to different files through a metric collection layer like Prometheus and Grafana.

> Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.

Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing

I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.

Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs
