terraform-registry

This is a light weight Terraform Registry, more like a proxy. It currently only supports the v1.provider endpoint and Terraform provider releases hosted on Github.

how it works

The registry dynamically generates the correct response based on assets found in Github provider releases which conform to the Terraform asset conventions. There is one additional file required which should be called signkey.asc This file must contain the ASCII Armored PGP public key which was used to sign the ..._SHA256SUMS.sig signature file. If you don't have a PGP key yet, you can generate one easily.

use cases

  • host your own private Terraform provider registry
  • easily release custom builds of providers e.g. releases from your own forks

deployment

Build a docker image and deploy it to your favorite hosting location

endpoints

Endpoint Description
/.well-known/terraform.json The service discovery endpoint used by terraform
/v1/providers/:namespace/:type/* The versions and download action endpoints

example usage

terraform {
    required_providers {
      cloudfoundry = {
        source  = "terraform-registry.us-east.philips-healthsuite.com/philips-forks/cloudfoundry"
        version = "0.12.2-202008131826"
      }
    }
  }
}

The above assumes a copy of the terraform-registry running at:

https://terraform-registry.us-east.philips-healthsuite.com

It references philips-forks/cloudfoundry version 0.12.2-202008131826 which maps to the following Github repository and release:

https://github.com/philips-forks/terraform-provider-cloudfoundry/releases/tag/v0.12.2-202008131826

Notice the signkey.asc which is included in this release. You can use Goreleaser with this .goreleaser.yml template to create arbitrary releases of providers. The provider pointer also does not include the terraform-provider- prefix.

GitHub Enterprise Server

If you want to use the registry against a GitHub Enterprise server, just specify additional environment variables.

  • GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL would be a value like https://github.example.com.
  • GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_UPLOADS_URL depends on your installation, it defaults to the base URL.

See go-github documentation for details on both URLs.
