I want to create a space bucket using Terraform. Here is my attempt:
provider "digitalocean" {
token = var.do_token
spaces_access_id = var.do_spaces_client_id
spaces_secret_key = var.do_spaces_secret_key
}
resource "digitalocean_spaces_bucket" "shop_images" {
name = "shop_images"
region = var.do_region
acl = "public-read"
}
The token and spaces client id/secret key work as I can create droplet but not spaces. The do_region variable is fra1.
The error I get in return is:
digitalocean_spaces_bucket.shop_images: Creating...

I have no clue what is blocking here.

The error being returned by the API here is unclear, but the cause is the underscore (_) in the Space name. In the control panel, when creating a new Space, it notes that names must be between 3 and 63 characters long and may only contain letters, numbers, dots (.), and dashes (-).
Thanks @aboeglin67 and @asb. You were both right. I did at first had the problem with the underscore but then I also had the problem with the non-unique spaces name. I thought that names would not need to be unique if you link them to a project but I guess it is not the case.
Thank you very much.
I’m not certain but my bet is that this bucket already exists. I believe like on aws the names must be unique for each data center. And shop_images seem very generic not to already exist. Try prefixing the name with your project’s name or slug.
