How to Use Spacelift Hosted Modules Externally with Terraform
Question Overview:
Attempting to import a module hosted on Spacelift into your local Terraform setup but encounter errors due to missing versions, despite them being available online.
Steps Taken so Far:
- Tried deleting and reimporting modules without success.
- Noticed discrepancies between the expected module version information on Spacelift versus what is shown during importation attempts locally with Terraform.
Detailed Solution:
To use your private or shared resources from a Spacelift instance outside of their platform, you must correctly authenticate using the following steps:
-
Terraform Login to Spacelift (using terminal):
terraform login <http://spacelift.io/>
This command will direct Terraform through a web browser prompt where you enter your account credentials on the Spacelift site, allowing it to store these details securely for future use in commands via
~/.terraformrc
. Make sure that this configuration file contains valid access tokens obtained from Spacelift’dictated session login procedure or environment variables if already set up on your local machine using SSH agent forwarding with keys. -
Import the Module: After successful authentication, Terraform will now have all necessary details to import modules hosted by a friend at
spacelift.io/Danielle/secrets-manager/aws
. Ensure you are referencing your specific module path correctly and that it matches exactly with what Spacelift provided for public usage or has stored after logging in from step 1 above. -
Reference the Official Docs: For a comprehensive understanding, refer to Spacelift’s documentation on using modules outside their platform. Here you’ll find details about configuration and management of private module repositories beyond Spacelift itself—ideal for community-shared resources or collaborations with other dev teams maintaining shared infrastructure codebases on the platform as well.
By following these steps, your modules stored in a repository managed by Spacelift should be seamlessly integrated into external Terraform workflows without version discrepan0n or authentication issues interfering with their importation and subsequent usage within broader infrastructure management routines outside Spacelift’s service boundaries.
