Joplin S3 Bucket Terraform Module

This is a repository for a Terraform module that creates an AWS S3 bucket, along with an IAM user that only has access to that bucket.

It will output the bucket, access key and secret you need to add to Joplin.

Terraform Registry

usage

Copy and paste into your Terraform configuration, and run terraform init:

module "joplin-s3-bucket" {
  source  = "DustinAlandzes/joplin-s3-bucket/aws"
  version = "0.1.0"
}

To get outputs, you can modify your outputs.tf to look like this:

output "joplin_s3_bucket" {
  value       = module.joplin-s3-bucket.joplin_s3_bucket
  description = "The S3 bucket's name"
}

output "joplin_aws_key" {
  value       = module.joplin-s3-bucket.joplin_aws_key
  description = "AWS key in Joplin"
}

output "joplin_aws_secret" {
  value       = module.joplin-s3-bucket.joplin_aws_secret
  description = "AWS secret in Joplin"
  sensitive   = true
}

I use this with Terraform cloud. You can register a free account, create an organization and workspace, set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID/AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables and make your terraform block look like this:

terraform {
  required_version = "~> 1.0.9"
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 3.0"
    }
  }
  backend "remote" {
    hostname     = "app.terraform.io"
    organization = "my-organization"

    workspaces {
      name = "my-terraform-workspace"
    }
  }
}

Because joplin_aws_secret is marked as sensitive you'll need to get it from the state (The State tab in terraform cloud).
