Start by cloning this repository.

git clone https://github.com/Hoverbear/chaos-workshop

If you haven't already head on over to and , then get a . Then, create a file in the working directory called terraform.tfvars:

terraform.tfvars
digitalocean_token = "your token here"

Additionally, ensure you have an SSH key set up.

ssh-keygen -t ed25519

Next, we'll run Terraform. This will cost you money. The currently the default machine size costs $20 USD per month, billed hourly.

terraform apply

You'll see one SSH key created, and one node created. It will take awhile to provision (give it at least 30 minutes).

When Terraform is done it will output an IP. That's your machine, so shell in and let's start exploring!

ssh root@$CREATED_HOST_IP

When you're all done you can destroy the machine, clearing any ongoing charges.

terraform destroy
