Previously, when the CLI wanted to install a plugin, it used a special method, `DownloadPlugin` on the `httpstate` backend to actually fetch the tarball that had the plugin. The reason for this is largely tied to history, at one point during a closed beta, we required presenting an API key to download plugins (as a way to enforce folks outside the beta could not download them) and because of that it was natural to bake that functionality into the part of the code that interfaced with the rest of the API from the Pulumi Service. The downside here is that it means we need to host all the plugins on `api.pulumi.com` which prevents community folks from being able to easily write resource providers, since they have to manually manage the process of downloading a provider to a machine and getting it on the `$PATH` or putting it in the plugin cache. To make this easier, we add a `--server` argument you can pass to `pulumi plugin install` to control the URL that it attempts to fetch the tarball from. We still have perscriptive guidence on how the tarball must be named (`pulumi-[<type>]-[<provider-name>]-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz`) but the base URL can now be configured. Folks publishing packages can use install scripts to run `pulumi plugin install` passing a custom `--server` argument, if needed. There are two improvements we can make to provide a nicer end to end story here: - We can augment the GetRequiredPlugins method on the language provider to also return information about an optional server to use when downloading the provider. - We can pass information about a server to download plugins from as part of a resource registration or creation of a first class provider. These help out in cases where for one reason or another where `pulumi plugin install` doesn't get run before an update takes place and would allow us to either do the right thing ahead of time or provide better error messages with the correct `--server` argument. But, for now, this unblocks a majority of the cases we care about and provides a path forward for folks that want to develop and host their own resource providers. |
