Backend GitLab
Note: Premium video content requires a subscription.
Here’s an example with the GitLab http backend.
config/terraform/backend.tf:
terraform {
backend "http" {
address = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] %>/<%= expansion(":ENV-:TYPE_DIR-:MOD_NAME") %>"
lock_address = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] %>/<%= expansion(":ENV-:TYPE_DIR-:MOD_NAME") %>/lock"
unlock_address = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] %>/<%= expansion(":ENV-:TYPE_DIR-:MOD_NAME") %>/lock"
username = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_USER'] %>"
password = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN'] %>"
lock_method = "POST"
unlock_method = "DELETE"
retry_wait_min = 5
}
}
You can set the env var defaults with the config/boot.rb hook.
config/boot.rb:
ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_ID'] ||= 'your project id'
ENV['GITLAB_USER'] ||= 'gitlab-user'
ENV['GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN'] ||= 'gitlab-api-access-token'
ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/#{ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_ID']}/terraform/state"
Including Region
When a http backend is used, a generic expander is used and :REGION is not expanded. This is because you can use the http backend without any terraspace_plugin_* at all . If you want to include :REGION in the expansion helper, here’s one way to do that:
config/terraform/backend.tf:
terraform {
backend "http" {
address = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] %>/<%= expansion("#{ENV['AWS_REGION']}-:ENV-:TYPE_DIR-:MOD_NAME") %>"
lock_address = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] %>/<%= expansion("#{ENV['AWS_REGION']}-:ENV-:TYPE_DIR-:MOD_NAME") %>/lock"
unlock_address = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] %>/<%= expansion("#{ENV['AWS_REGION']}-:ENV-:TYPE_DIR-:MOD_NAME") %>/lock"
username = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_USER'] %>"
password = "<%= ENV['GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN'] %>"
lock_method = "POST"
unlock_method = "DELETE"
retry_wait_min = 5
}
}
You can set the env var defaults with the config/boot.rb hook.
config/boot.rb:
ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_ID'] ||= 'your project id'
ENV['GITLAB_USER'] ||= 'gitlab-user'
ENV['GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN'] ||= 'gitlab-api-access-token'
ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_URL'] = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/#{ENV['GITLAB_PROJECT_ID']}/terraform/state"
ENV['AWS_REGION'] ||= "us-east-1"
