While sumaform is still compatible with terraform as of 2025/11/24, we expect all contributions to be tested and compatible with OpenTofu.
Therefore, this documentation describes OpenTofu and not Terraform anymore.
As a contributor, you are encouraged to not break things for terraform on purpose. But if you need a feature available only on OpenTofu, make sure you evaluate if it will affect all deployments, and if so make sure this is documented properly.
openSUSE images are built and tracked in the Open Build Service:
Submit Requests can be created with a free account, project maintainership is given to meritable community members.
SUSE Linux Enterprise images are built and tracked in SUSE's internal OBS instance:
Access is limited to SUSE employees at this time.
Please note that all of the above projects have the build flag disabled unless some change is ongoing to prevent spontaneous rebuilds. Please click on Repositories -> Build Flag -> hover the gear icon in the top-left corner of the table (All, All) -> Enable until all images are rebuilt.
Non-SUSE images are built and tracked in the sumaform-images GitHub project. Pull Requests can be created with a free account, write access is given to meritable community members.
sumaform requires a specific OpenTofu version and provides several special-purpose RPM packages as well. Those are built and tracked inthe Open Build Service:
- the systemsmanagement:sumaform project builds
opentofuandterraform-provider-libvirtwith some dependencies - the systemsmanagement:sumaform:tools project builds other software meant to be installed in sumaformed machines
