Ben Vincent c69b27826d Initial terraform-provider-ranchervaultsecret scaffold
Terraform provider (plugin-framework) for the vault-plugin-secrets-rancher
secrets engine, modeled on terraform-provider-litellmvaultsecret.

Resources:
- rancher_secret_backend: mount the engine + write config (rancher_url, ca_cert,
  tls_skip_verify, request_timeout_seconds).
- rancher_secret_backend_service_account: seed an auto-rotated Rancher token
  (write-only token; token_ttl / rotation_period; computed token_name,
  last_rotated).
- rancher_secret_backend_role: minting role (service_account, cluster_name,
  ttl, max_ttl, description).

Source address git.unkin.net/unkin/ranchervaultsecret, resources prefixed
rancher_. Ports the litellm Woodpecker terraform-registry release + nfpm-less
zip packaging, examples, and a provider e2e (Vault + mock Rancher from the
sibling plugin repo). Unit tests cover the coercion/import-ID helpers.

# terraform-provider-ranchervaultsecret
Terraform provider for the [vault-plugin-secrets-rancher](https://git.unkin.net/unkin/vault-plugin-secrets-rancher)
secrets engine. It manages the engine's configuration on HashiCorp Vault or
OpenBao — mounting it, seeding auto-rotated service-account tokens, and defining
token-minting roles.
The provider's source address is `git.unkin.net/unkin/ranchervaultsecret`; its
resources are prefixed `rancher_` (declare it under the local name `rancher` in
`required_providers`).
## Resources
| Resource | Manages |
|----------|---------|
| `rancher_secret_backend` | Mounts the engine and writes `config` (Rancher URL, CA, TLS). |
| `rancher_secret_backend_service_account` | A seeded, auto-rotated Rancher token (`token`, `token_ttl`, `rotation_period`). |
| `rancher_secret_backend_role` | A minting role (`service_account`, `cluster_name`, `ttl`, `max_ttl`, `description`). |
## Example
```hcl
provider "rancher" {} # address/token from VAULT_ADDR / VAULT_TOKEN
resource "rancher_secret_backend" "rancher" {
path = "rancher"
rancher_url = "https://rancher.example.com"
ca_cert = file("rancher-ca.pem")
}
resource "rancher_secret_backend_service_account" "admin" {
backend = rancher_secret_backend.rancher.path
name = "admin"
token = var.rancher_seed_token
token_ttl = 90 * 24 * 3600
rotation_period = 45 * 24 * 3600
}
resource "rancher_secret_backend_role" "ci" {
backend = rancher_secret_backend.rancher.path
name = "ci"
service_account = rancher_secret_backend_service_account.admin.name
cluster_name = "c-m-abc123"
ttl = 3600
max_ttl = 28800
}
```
Then mint a token: `vault read rancher/creds/ci`.
## Development
```sh
make build # build the provider binary
make install # install into ~/.terraform.d/plugins for local dev_overrides
make test # unit tests
make e2e # apply real terraform against Vault + the plugin + mock Rancher
make package # zip for the artifactapi terraform registry
```
Releases are tag-driven (`make patch|minor|major`): a Woodpecker pipeline zips
the provider and uploads it to the internal artifactapi terraform registry,
installable via `source = "git.unkin.net/unkin/ranchervaultsecret"`.
