Import an existing resource

If you want to import in the Elestio state an existing project or service already running, you can use the terraform import command.

Project

# Import a project by specifying the project ID.
terraform import elestio_project.myawesomeproject project_id

Declare the resource in your .tf file

resource "elestio_project" "example_project" {
  name = "example-project"
  # ...
}

Retrieve your ProjectID on the projects list page.

Execute the import command

terraform import elestio_project.exemple_project 2434

Then you can run a terraform apply command and elestio will handle your project resource as an update and not a new resource to create.

Service

# Import a service by specifying the Project ID it belongs to, and the service ID (spaced by a comma).
terraform import elestio_service.myawesomeservice project_id,service_id

Declare the resource in your .tf file

resource "elestio_postgres" "exemple_postgres" {
  project_id    = elestio_project.exemple_project.id
  # ...
}

Retrieve your ProjectID on the projects list page.

Retrieve your ServiceID on the service page.

Execute the import command

terraform import elestio_postgres.exemple_postgres 2434,27265610

Then you can run a terraform apply command and elestio will handle your service resource as an update and not a new resource to create.
