RELIANOID Enterprise Edition – GCP Terraform Module

This guide explains how to deploy the RELIANOID Community Edition virtual machine on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the official Terraform module from the Terraform Registry.

---

What this module provisions automatically

• VPC Network
• Subnet
• Firewall Rule (allowing SSH 22, Web GUI 444)
• Static External IP
• Network Interface
• Compute Instance using the RELIANOID community Edition image from Google Cloud Marketplace

---

Prerequisites

1. Install Terraform

Download and install Terraform for your operating system:

terraform -version

2. Install Google Cloud SDK

Download and install the Google Cloud SDK.

Authenticate to your Google Cloud account:

gcloud auth login
gcloud config set project <YOUR_PROJECT_ID>

3. Generate SSH Key Pair

You’ll need an SSH key to access the VM. If you don’t already have one:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f id_rsa

This creates id_rsa (private key) and id_rsa.pub (public key).
Keep both in the same directory where Terraform files are stored.

---

Step 1: Find the Terraform Module

Go to Terraform Registry
Search for: relianoid/relianoid-community/google

---

Step 2: Create a Project Folder

mkdir relianoid-gcp
cd relianoid-gcp

---

Step 3: Create Configuration Files

Create these files:

• main.tf
• variables.tf
• terraform.tfvars
• outputs.tf

main.tf

module "relianoid-community" {
  source              = "relianoid/relianoid-community/google"
  version             = "1.0.0"

  project_id          = var.project_id
  region              = var.region
  zone                = var.zone
  public_ssh_key_path = "${path.module}/id_rsa.pub"
}

---

variables.tf

variable "project_id" {
  description = "GCP Project ID"
  type        = string
}

variable "region" {
  description = "GCP region for resources"
  type        = string
  default     = "us-central1"
}

variable "zone" {
  description = "GCP zone for VM deployment"
  type        = string
  default     = "us-central1-a"
}

---

terraform.tfvars

project_id = "your-gcp-project-id"
region     = "us-central1"
zone       = "us-central1-a"

---

outputs.tf

output "instance_id" {
  description = "The ID of the GCP VM instance"
  value       = module.relianoid-community.instance_id
}

output "instance_public_ip" {
  description = "The public IP address of the RELIANOID VM"
  value       = module.relianoid-community.instance_public_ip
}

output "instance_private_ip" {
  description = "The private IP address of the RELIANOID VM"
  value       = module.relianoid-community.instance_private_ip
}

---

Step 4: Initialize & Deploy

Run the following commands:

terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply

Confirm with yes when prompted.

---

Step 5: Access the RELIANOID VM

After deployment, Terraform outputs the public IP address.

Connect via SSH:

ssh -i id_rsa admin@<instance_public_ip>

The default username is admin.

Access the Web GUI in your browser:

https://<instance_public_ip>:444

---

Outputs

Output Name	Description
instance_id	The ID of the GCP VM instance
instance_public_ip	The public IP address of the VM
instance_private_ip	The private IP address of the VM

---

Destroy Resources

To delete everything created by Terraform:

terraform destroy

---

⚠️ Important Notes

• Make sure you have accepted the Google Cloud Marketplace terms for the RELIANOID image before deployment.
• Keep your private key (id_rsa) secure — never share it publicly.
• The module provisions networking, firewall, and compute resources automatically.
