Terrateam Configuration

Terrateam behavior can be configured via a config.yml. This file is located in a directory named .terrateam at the root of your Terraform repository: .terrateam/config.yml.

See Configuration documentation for details.

What is Terragrunt?

Terragrunt is a thin wrapper that provides extra tools for keeping your configurations DRY, working with multiple Terraform modules, and managing remote state. -- https://terragrunt.gruntwork.io/ (opens in a new tab)

Configuration

To replace all Terraform CLI commands with the Terragrunt CLI, you can create a custom workflow using the Terrateam configuration file.

workflows:
  - tag_query: ""
    terragrunt: true

The above configuration will replace the terraform command with terragrunt in all Terrateam Plan and Apply workflows.

This might not be what you want. To learn more about Terragrunt, see their official documentation (opens in a new tab).

Example repository

Gruntwork (opens in a new tab) maintains an infrastructure-live (opens in a new tab) repository for Terragrunt. This repo contains an example repository layout you can use with Terragrunt. The following documentation will describe how to use Terragrunt and Terrateam together with the infrastructure-live example repository as a foundation.

Prerequisites

Import the example repository

  1. Export your organization/repository combination that you want to use for your Terragrunt code
export GITHUB_ORG="<MY_GITHUB_ORG>"
export TERRAGRUNT_REPO="${GITHUB_ORG}/infrastructure-live"
  1. Create the new repository
gh repo create --private "$TERRAGRUNT_REPO"
  1. Clone the official infrastructure-live example repository
git clone --bare https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt-infrastructure-live-example
  1. Mirror the infrastructure-live repository with the --mirror option
cd terragrunt-infrastructure-live-example.git
git push --mirror "https://github.com/$TERRAGRUNT_REPO"
  1. Clone your new infrastructure-live repository
cd ../
gh repo clone "$TERRAGRUNT_REPO" infrastructure-live
  1. Set the default branch back to master
cd infrastructure-live
git checkout master
gh repo edit --default-branch master

Terrateam setup

  1. Create the Terrateam GitHub Workflow file
mkdir -p .github/workflows
curl -o .github/workflows/terrateam.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terrateamio/terrateam-example/main/github/actions/workflows/default/terrateam.yml
git add .github
  1. Create a custom Terrateam configuration file
mkdir .terrateam
curl -o .terrateam/config.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terrateamio/terrateam-example/main/terrateam/terragrunt-infrastructure-live/config.yml
git add .terrateam

The above configuration file will set up the following:

  • A custom TG_BUCKET_PREFIX to be used for your Terraform state S3 bucket. Make sure you replace this value with something unique.
  • Enable the terragrunt cli in plan and apply operations
  • Properly trigger Terrateam operations when terragrunt.hcl files are updated
  1. Commit and push your changes
git commit -a -m "Changes for Terragrunt infra live and Terrateam"
git push
  1. Complete the Cloud Provider Setup for your new infrastructure-live repository

Modules

The infrastructure-live example repository will pull modules in from the terragrunt-infrastructure-modules-example repository found here (opens in a new tab). See the envcommon (opens in a new tab) terragrunt.hcl files for the base_source_url definitions.

You can continue to use this repository but it's recommended to mirror the repository into your GitHub organization and reference the new URL in your base_source_url definitions.

The Terrateam GitHub application must be installed against module repositories for Terrateam to successfully clone the repository in Terrateam operations.

Start making changes

Now you can make changes and pull requests with your new infrastructure-live repository using Terragrunt.
