Description

see discussion thread here

You should be able to configure the provider with values from a resource

resource "digitalocean_droplet" "dev" {
  # ...
}

provider "docker" {
  host = "ssh://devops@${digitalocean_droplet.dev.ipv4_address}" # <-- this fails
}

There are suggestions of implementation and discussion of how this issue was solved in other projects in the above linked discussion thread.

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "digitalocean_droplet" "dev" {
  # ...
}

provider "docker" {
  host = "ssh://devops@${digitalocean_droplet.dev.ipv4_address}" # <-- this works
}
