Description

Currently, this plugin requires you to have the provider configured ahead of time. This doesn't work if you don't know ahead of time how many docker servers you will be working with.

We need the ability to ssh into arbitrary servers.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• docker provider
• all docker resources and data sources

Potential Terraform Configuration

Every resource that interacts with docker should have provider overrides so you can target arbitrary servers. See https://registry.terraform.io/providers/jaczkal/linux/latest for an example

# Copy-paste your Terraform configurations here - for large Terraform configs,
# please use a service like Dropbox and share a link to the ZIP file. For
# security, you can also encrypt the files using our GPG public key.
