`terraform init` Failed to install provider kreuzwerker/docker


main.tf

terraform {
  required_providers {
    docker = {
      source  = "kreuzwerker/docker"
    }
    google = {
      source = "hashicorp/google"
    }
    random = {
      source = "hashicorp/random"
    }
  }
}

provider "docker" {}

resource "docker_image" "nginx" {
  name         = "nginx:latest"
  keep_locally = false
}

resource "docker_container" "nginx" {
  image = docker_image.nginx.latest
  name  = "tutorial"
  ports {
    internal = 80
    external = 8000
  }
}

Upon executing terraform init I face issue with downloading only docker resource:

After following this post I downloaded the file in local and I get to perform terraform init successfully but failed to run terraform apply with below error:

I have also launched another docker container and reproduce the issue and I was able to reproduce the same issue with terraform init

Solution

  • Thanks a lot for help here @Tapan and other community members.

    Since I followed all the steps of post installation steps, re-iterated permissions as well..

    In the end I also created a docker container to recreate issue and on further debugging it turns out that even though with wget command reported checksum can be downloaded, while working on terraform it might be using some other url/protocol which I am not yet aware of but it somehow conflicting with my ISP [Airtel fiber connection] .

    As result I used warp desktop client and tried to use the terraform command which worked for me without any issue.
