Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) APEX Application using Vanity URLs
This Terraform IaC provisions an ADB and LoadBalancer for Vanity URLs without Customer Managed ORDS.
- An existing Paid OCI tenancy (Not Always Free Eligible)
Example self-signed certificates are created by terraform for testing purposes only and should not be used for Production. Update the Load Balancer in the OCI console with real certificates; or utilise LetsEncrypt/CertBot as documented in the oci-lbaas-letsencrypt repository
Deploy this Stack using OCI Resource Manager:
Update the terraform-env.sh file.
You'll need to update three fields with values you can find in the OCI console:
- TF_VAR_compartment_ocid
- TF_VAR_tenancy_ocid
- TF_VAR_user_ocid
When you've set all the variables, source the file with the command source ./terraform-env.sh or you could stick the contents of the file in ~/.bash_profile:
source ./terraform-env.sh
Use the command env | grep TF to see the variables set by the environment file. It should look something like the following:
env | grep TF
TF_VAR_tenancy_ocid=ocid1.tenancy....zhi3q
TF_VAR_compartment_ocid=ocid1.compartment....e7e5q
TF_VAR_region=us-ashburn-1
TF_VAR_fingerprint=50:d0:7d:f7:0e:05:cd:87:3b:2a:cb:50:b1:17:90:e9
TF_VAR_api_private_key_path=~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem
TF_VAR_user_ocid=ocid1.user....ewc5a
Instructions on installing Terraform are here. The manual, pre-compiled binary installation is, by far, the easiest and quickest way to start using Terraform.
You can test that the install was successful by running the command: terraform
You should see usage information returned.
Once the environment has been setup. Run the following to build the infrastructure:
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
After the terraform apply has completed, it will output the Load Balancers IPAddress such as:
lb_address = tolist([
"129.159.249.211",
])
You can also look up the Load Balancer IP via the OCI Console. Placing that IPAddress in a web browser will redirect you to the secure APEX port and prompt for the ADB's ADMIN password. The ADMIN password was randomised during provisioning and is unknown. Reset it in the OCI console to login.
