### Install Terraform
For the Terraform installation, I followed the [documentation](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/aws-get-started/install-cli) to install it into my LXC container.
```bash
# Ensure that your system is up to date and you have installed the `gnupg`, `software-properties-common`, and `curl` packages installed. You will use these packages to verify HashiCorp's GPG signature and install HashiCorp's Debian package repository.
apt-get update && apt-get install -y gnupg software-properties-common
# Install the HashiCorp [GPG key](https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg).
wget -O- <https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg> | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
# Verify the key's fingerprint.
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg --fingerprint
# Add the official HashiCorp repository to your system. The `lsb_release -cs` command finds the distribution release codename for your current system, such as `buster`, `groovy`, or `sid`.
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] <https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com> $(lsb_release -cs) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list
# Download the package information from HashiCorp.
apt update
# Install Terraform from the new repository.
apt-get install terraform

### Create a Dedicated Terraform User on Proxmox
Before Terraform can interact with your Proxmox cluster, you want to create a dedicated user with limited privileges. You could use the `root@pam` but I wouldn't recommended it for security perspectives.
From any of your Proxmox node, log into the console as priviledged user, `root` in that case.
