The `remote-exec` provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it is created. This can be used to run a configuration management tool, bootstrap into a cluster, etc. To invoke a local process, see the `local-exec` provisioner instead. The `remote-exec` provisioner supports both `ssh` and `winrm` type connections.

# remote-exec Provisioner
|
|
|
|
The `remote-exec` provisioner invokes a script on a remote resource after it
|
|
is created. This can be used to run a configuration management tool, bootstrap
|
|
into a cluster, etc. To invoke a local process, see the `local-exec`
|
|
[provisioner](/docs/language/resources/provisioners/local-exec.html) instead. The `remote-exec`
|
|
provisioner supports both `ssh` and `winrm` type [connections](/docs/language/resources/provisioners/connection.html).
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** Provisioners should only be used as a last resort. For most
|
|
common situations there are better alternatives. For more information, see
|
|
[the main Provisioners page](./).
|
|
|
|
## Example usage
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
provisioner "remote-exec" {
|
|
inline = [
|
|
"puppet apply",
|
|
"consul join ${aws_instance.web.private_ip}",
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Argument Reference
|
|
|
|
The following arguments are supported:
|
|
|
|
* `inline` - This is a list of command strings. They are executed in the order
|
|
they are provided. This cannot be provided with `script` or `scripts`.
|
|
|
|
* `script` - This is a path (relative or absolute) to a local script that will
|
|
be copied to the remote resource and then executed. This cannot be provided
|

|
|
|

|
## Script Arguments
|
|
|
|
You cannot pass any arguments to scripts using the `script` or
|
|
`scripts` arguments to this provisioner. If you want to specify arguments,
|
|
upload the script with the
|
|
[file provisioner](/docs/language/resources/provisioners/file.html)
|
|
and then use `inline` to call it. Example:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
provisioner "file" {
|
|
source = "script.sh"
|
|
destination = "/tmp/script.sh"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
provisioner "remote-exec" {
|
|
inline = [
|
|
"chmod +x /tmp/script.sh",
|
|
"/tmp/script.sh args",
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
