Show HN: Terraform Provider for Inexpensive Switches
(github.com)2 points by brennoo 10 hours ago | 0 comments
Hi HN,
I’ve been building this provider for (web managed) network switches manufactured by HRUI. These switches often used in SMBs, home labs, and by budget-conscious enthusiasts. Many HRUI switches are also rebranded and sold under various OEM/ODM names (eg. Horaco, XikeStor, keepLiNK, Sodola, etc) making them accessible/popular but often overlooked in the world of infrastructure automation.
The provider is in pre-release, and I’m looking for owners of these switches to test it and share feedback. My goal is to make it easier to automate its config using Terraform/OpenTofu :)
You can use this provider to configure VLANs, port settings, trunk/link aggregation etc.
I built this provider to address the lack of automation tools for budget-friendly hardware. It leverage goquery and has an internal SDK sitting between the Terraform resources and the switch Web UI.
If you have one of these switches, I’d love for you to give it a try and let me know how it works for you!
