Documentation

linode-instance

Hardened Linode VM with cloud-init, disk encryption, reverse DNS, backups, and firewall attachment in one apply. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), Linode provider >= 3.14, < 4.0.

Secure defaults:

  • Local Disk Encryption (LDE) enabled by default
  • Backups enabled by default
  • SSH-key-first auth: keys are uploaded to the account profile (linode_sshkey) and authorized for root; root_pass stays optional and sensitive. The provider's v3.14 rule (credentials are mandatory when an image is deployed) is enforced with a clear plan-time precondition.
  • Optional VPC interface as the primary NIC (with or without 1:1 NAT), Cloud Firewall attachment (linode_firewall_device), and PTR record (linode_rdns)
  • Cloud-init user data wired through the Linode Metadata service (base64-encoding handled for you)

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • linode/linode provider >= 3.14, < 4.0
  • You must supply at least one SSH key or a root_pass (provider v3.14 auth requirement — enforced at plan time).
  • disk_encryption and cloud_init_user_data require regions with the LDE and Metadata capabilities respectively.
