ovh-cli is archived

[telenieko]

Hi,

The documentation says:

It is recommend to install ovh-cli to handle and manage all your secret keys.

But ovh/ovh-cli is an archived project with no commit since 2017. Please amend with instructions on how to acquire the credentials without ovh-cli (or have the provider do the authentication flow like other providers do).

thanks!

I am in the predicament, @telenieko how were you able to generate credentials without using the ovh-cli?

hi

thank you for reporting this

we're going to spend some time on the provider in the next couple of weeks to fix this issue and clean the backlog of issues & PRs
but we first have to rebuild a proper CI system (since the switch to the terraform registry has deprecated the internal hashicorp ci for non official providers)

I am in the predicament, @telenieko how were you able to generate credentials without using the ovh-cli?

You can do it from the Web: https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/customer/first-steps-with-ovh-api/

Requesting an authentication token from OVH
Now that you have your keys, you can request a token from OVH to enable you to make requests to the API (...)

Then on ~/.ovh.conf I have:

[default]
endpoint=ovh-eu

[ovh-eu]
application_key=SECRET
application_secret=SECRET
consumer_key=SECRET

It was some time ago so I don't remember the exact steps.

Closing this issue, doc has been updated since then.
