Terraform & OpenTofu provider: VPS, DNS and hosting as code

Published on November 14, 2026 You build your VPS, networks, DNS zones and hosting by hand, one click at a time, and start over every time you need a copy of an environment? Since November 10, 2026, the OnetSolutions Terraform provider lets you describe your infrastructure in configuration files. terraform apply creates it, changes it or removes it. The same configuration works with OpenTofu.

What is a Terraform provider?

A provider connects Terraform to a platform. You write the state you want in HCL; Terraform compares it with what exists, shows you a plan, then applies the changes. Your configuration becomes the source of truth. Kept in Git, it can be reviewed, shared and replayed: a test environment identical to production is one command away. Terraform and OpenTofu both install the provider from their own registry, as onetsolutions-net/onetsolutions.

What you can manage as code

Version 0.2.0, released on November 11, 2026, covers compute, networking, domains and web hosting.

Area	Resources
Compute	Instances (with a public IPv6 address if you want one), snapshots, backups, GPUs
Network	VPCs, instance firewalls, reverse DNS of your IP addresses
Access	SSH keys
DNS and domains	Domain registration and settings, DNS zones and records, DNSSEC
Web hosting	Web hostings, PHP version, WordPress, databases and their users, mailboxes, FTP accounts, cron jobs, subdomains, addon domains, redirects

Data sources help you choose before you declare anything: onetsolutions_instance_sizes, onetsolutions_images, onetsolutions_tlds, onetsolutions_domain_availability and onetsolutions_hosting_plans.

Reboot, reinstall and restore from your configuration

The provider also ships actions: reboot an instance, reset it, reinstall it from an image or restore one of its backups, straight from your configuration.

Situation	Action
Reboot an instance	`onetsolutions_instance_reboot`
Reset an instance	`onetsolutions_instance_reset`
Start again from a clean image	`onetsolutions_instance_reinstall`
Roll back to a backup	`onetsolutions_instance_backup_restore`

Actions need Terraform 1.14 or later; OpenTofu does not run them. Every resource and data source works with both Terraform and OpenTofu.

Get started with the OnetSolutions Terraform provider

You need an OnetSolutions account, an API key, and Terraform 1.5 or later, or OpenTofu 1.6 or later.

1. Create an API key

Create an API key in the console. It acts with your rights, in every organization and project you can reach. Keep it out of your configuration files by passing it in an environment variable:

# The key stays out of your Git repository
export ONETSOLUTIONS_API_KEY="sk-onetsolutions-…"

2. Describe your infrastructure

An SSH key and a private network, in a main.tf file:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    onetsolutions = {
      source  = "onetsolutions-net/onetsolutions"
      version = "~> 0.2"
    }
  }
}

provider "onetsolutions" {}

resource "onetsolutions_ssh_key" "laptop" {
  name       = "laptop"
  public_key = file("~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub")
}

resource "onetsolutions_vpc" "private" {
  name       = "private"
  cidr_block = "10.0.0.0/16"
}

3. Apply

terraform init && terraform apply     # or: tofu init && tofu apply

When your account has several organizations or projects, set organization_id and project_id on the provider, or on each resource.

Creating an instance, a web hosting or a domain places an order, billed like an order from the console. The plan tells you before anything is ordered or cancelled.

Bring what you built in the console under code

Everything you created in the console can be imported, with an import block or terraform import. Each resource page of the provider documentation gives its import ID:

import {
  to = onetsolutions_ssh_key.laptop
  id = "<organization_id>/<project_id>/<ssh_key_id>"
}

Import your existing resources first, then run terraform plan: an empty plan confirms your configuration matches your infrastructure.
