Support registering hosts in FreeIPA

[ieugen]

Hello,

It would be great to add support for registering hosts via this provider.
The use case would be for example to start a Kubernetes cluster in a public cloud like AWS or Hetzner.

We could use terraform to create the servers and it would be great to register the same host information in the FreeIPA system.

This should allow us to automate cluster creation and IDM registration for all of the nodes in the cluster.

Thanks,
Eugen

Another option would be to register the hosts in IPA via something like ansible.

I found this - it is currently as a preview.

Hi @ieugen we are not actively developing this at the moment, we might see about adding functionality sometime in the future. If your up for writing the code we can collaborate.

Hi,
Thanks. I would love to but I move on and off on terraform and I don't have the time to invest at the moment.
When I get back on it, I might post some requirements and whatever I can.
