# How to import an existing resources?
|
|
|
|
## 1. **Create a terraform config file and add an import block for your resource**
|
|
|
|
In order to import an existing resources in terraform you need to add an import block for the corresponding resource in a terraform config file.
|
|
There is an example for every resource under the [examples](../../examples/) folder.
|
|
|
|
E.g. the import statement for a `stackit_volume` looks like the following:
|
|
|
|
```terraform
|
|
import {
|
|
to = stackit_volume.import-example
|
|
id = "${var.project_id},${var.volume_id}"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. **Generate the destination resource automatically**
|
|
|
|
Run `terraform plan -generate-config-out=generated.tf` to let terraform generate the configuration for you.
|
|
In this step the `stackit_volume.import-example` resource is generated and filled with informations of your existing resource.
|
|
|
|
## 3. **Finish the import**
|
|
|
|
Run `terraform apply` to add your resource to the terraform state. |
