Server builds to run OpenDroneMap in Azure using Terraform.

• Git - to download repository
• Terraform - to build environment
• AZ CLI (Optional) - Helpful for querying Azure resources
• Visual Studio Code (Optional) - Helpful for editing build

This file is optional, but without it, will require you to add these variables to your environment. You can use AZ CLI commands to get these attributes. Create variables.tfvars and add the following.

TF_VAR_ARM_CLIENT_ID       = "the client id"
TF_VAR_ARM_CLIENT_SECRET   = "client secret"
TF_VAR_ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID = "ID of the subscription to build in"
TF_VAR_ARM_TENANT_ID       = "tenant ID"
pub_key_data               = "ssh-rsa [the rest of the ssh public key]"

This build leverages Rclone config from the local computer. Suggest setting up Rclone and connect to any resource expected to use in Azure. This will be stored in rclone.conf. The rclone.conf will be copied to the virtual machine in Azure.

Review and edit variables.tf.

Once variables.tf and variables.tfvars are edited, open a shell prompt

• terraform init # run to download the necessary provisioners for Azure
• terraform fmt # quick format of the build files
• terraform plan -var-file=variables.tfvars # performs a syntax check against the environment
• terraform apply -var-file=variables.tfvars # executes the build
• terraform apply -var-file=variables.tfvars -destroy # burns down the environment

Since the build will generate new public IP addresses, SSH access will add a lot of new entries over time. Suggest using the following:

ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_webodm.pem odm@[public IP address]
