Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Do I need Terraform for a single VPS?
For 1 server often overkill. From 2+ servers, repeatable setups or team environments, IaC pays off.
Where to store Terraform state?
Never only local in production. Remote backend: S3-compatible, Terraform Cloud or encrypted Git – with locking.
Terraform vs Ansible?
Terraform: create infrastructure (servers, DNS, firewall). Ansible: configure existing servers (packages, services). Often combined.
Which provider for NexoraHost VPS?
No official Terraform provider needed: order server via panel, then automate with Ansible/SSH or cloud-init. DNS via Cloudflare provider.
Terraform with Docker?
docker_provider or docker-compose resource. Ideal: Terraform for DNS/Cloudflare + Compose for apps on VPS.
