Hey everyone,
I am trying to follow this tutorial to create a custom terraform module.
Everything is fine up to the point where I need to locally install & verify the provider. It fails with:
The host "example.com" given in in provider source address "example.com/vladmiller/example" does not offer a Terraform provider registry.
Note: there is a typo in the error message in in .
I have also tried doing tutorial 1-1 using their names, but it also fails.
Wondering if anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot. Thank you in advance.
I apologize if this has already been covered, but I could’t find more info on the forum.
From logs it’s clear that terraform is trying to get registry details by making a request to example.com.
Service discovery for example.com at https://example.com/.well-known/terraform.json
Also, not sure if this means anything here
2022-11-10T16:39:54.255+0200 [TRACE] Selected provider installation method cliconfig.ProviderInstallationDirect with includes [] and excludes []
but this makes me wonder if terraform is even seeing this module.
Below is are full logs and examples of my setup.
