# Quick start guide for Terraform on Equinix Metal
2021-08-19 16:46:16 +00:00
This option will stand up the provisioner on a Bare Metal machine using Terraform with Equinix Metal.
This option will also show you how to create a machine to provision.
## Prerequisites
- [Terraform ](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads ) is installed
## Steps
1. Clone this repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tinkerbell/sandbox.git
cd sandbox
```
2. Set your Equinix Metal project id and access token
```bash
cd deploy/terraform
cat < < EOF > terraform.tfvars
metal_api_token = "awegaga4gs4g"
project_id = "235-23452-245-345"
EOF
```
3. Start the provisioner
```bash
terraform init
terraform apply
# This process will take about 5-10 minutes.
# Most of the time will be to download OSIE.
# OSIE is about 2GB in size and the Ubuntu Focal image is about 500MB
```
4. Reboot the machine
In the [Equinix Metal Web UI ](https://console.equinix.com ), find the `tink_worker` and reboot it.
Or if you have the [Equinix Metal CLI ](https://github.com/equinix/metal-cli ) installed run the following:
```bash
metal device reboot -i $(terraform show -json | jq -r '.values.root_module.resources[1].values.id')
```
5. Watch the provision complete
```bash
# log in to the provisioner
ssh root@139.178.69.231
# watch the workflow events and status for workflow completion
# once the workflow is complete (see the expected output below for completion), move on to the next step
wid=$(cat sandbox/compose/manifests/workflow/workflow_id.txt); docker exec -it compose_tink-cli_1 watch "tink workflow events ${wid}; tink workflow state ${wid}"
```

6. Reboot the machine
Now reboot the `tink-worker` via the [Equinix Metal Web UI ](https://console.equinix.com ), or if you have the [Equinix Metal CLI ](https://github.com/equinix/metal-cli ) installed run the following:
```bash
metal device reboot -i $(terraform show -json | jq -r '.values.root_module.resources[1].values.id')
```
7. Login to the machine
The machine has been provisioned with Ubuntu Focal.
Wait for the reboot to complete and then you can SSH into it.
```bash
# crtl-c to exit the watch
ssh tink@192.168.50.43 # user/pass => tink/tink
```
