It seems like the libvirt provider only takes pre-defined cloud images. I create my own base qcow2 image that is local to the hypervisor and wish to use it as source file with terraform libvirtd.

Is this doable?

Config using cloud image:

resource "libvirt_volume" "terraform-test" {
    name = "terraform-test.qcow2"
    pool = "default"
    source = "https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/buster/daily/20200324-210/debian-10-nocloud-amd64-daily-20200324-210.qcow2"
    format = "qcow2"

Instead, I'd like to use a local file in the hypervisor like so:

resource "libvirt_volume" "terraform-test" {
    name = "terraform-test.qcow2"
    pool = "default"
    source = "/var/lib/libvirt/images/base-image.qcow2"
    format = "qcow2"



Error: Error while determining image type for /var/lib/libvirt/images/base-image.qcow2: Error while opening /var/lib/libvirt/images/base-image.qcow2: open /var/lib/libvirt/images/base-image.qcow2: no such file or directory

You will have to specify it like this:

resource "libvirt_volume" "terraform-test" {
  name = "terraform-test.qcow2"
  pool = "default"
  source = "file:///var/lib/libvirt/images/base-image.qcow2"
  format = "qcow2"

And remember that the Terraform will look for the image on the controller node (from where the Terraform is running).

Maybe the problem is that you are using the pool and the local path,do something like this:

resource "libvirt_volume" "kube-node-1" {
  name = "kube-node-1"
  pool = "default"
  source = "base-image"
  format = "qcow2"
  full_clone = true
}
