unkinben 646fa0f840 Initial terraform-provider-giteavaultsecret
Add a Terraform provider that manages the Gitea token secrets engine
(vault-plugin-secrets-gitea) on Vault/OpenBao, so terraform-vault can drive
the engine's mount, config, and roles declaratively.

- add the provider (source git.unkin.net/unkin/giteavaultsecret, prefix gitea_)
- add gitea_secret_backend (mount + config with seeded admin credentials)
- add gitea_secret_backend_role (username, scopes list, ttls, token_name_prefix)
- add the Vault API client plumbing, conversions, and unit tests
- add examples, a real terraform+Vault+mock-Gitea e2e, and Woodpecker pipelines
  releasing the provider zip to the artifactapi terraform registry

terraform-provider-giteavaultsecret

A Terraform provider that manages the Gitea token secrets engine (vault-plugin-secrets-gitea) on HashiCorp Vault or OpenBao, so the engine's mount, config, and roles can be driven declaratively (e.g. from terraform-vault).

Source address: git.unkin.net/unkin/giteavaultsecret (declare it under the local name gitea, so its resources are gitea_*).

Resources

Resource Manages
gitea_secret_backend Mounts the engine at a path and writes its config (Gitea URL, TLS, seeded admin username/password).
gitea_secret_backend_role A role: target Gitea username, scopes, token_name_prefix, ttl, max_ttl.

Usage

terraform {
  required_providers {
    gitea = {
      source = "git.unkin.net/unkin/giteavaultsecret"
    }
  }
}

provider "gitea" {
  # address / token fall back to VAULT_ADDR / VAULT_TOKEN.
}

resource "gitea_secret_backend" "gitea" {
  path           = "gitea"
  gitea_url      = "https://git.example.com"
  admin_username = "bot-admin"
  admin_password = var.gitea_admin_password
}

resource "gitea_secret_backend_role" "teabot" {
  backend  = gitea_secret_backend.gitea.path
  name     = "teabot"
  username = "teabot"
  scopes   = ["read:repository", "write:issue"]
  ttl      = 3600
  max_ttl  = 28800
}

Notes

  • admin_password is write-only: Vault never returns it, so it is preserved in Terraform state and does not show drift. If you rotate the admin password out of band with vault write -f gitea/config/rotate-root, do not re-apply the backend resource without also updating admin_password, or Terraform will set the password back to the value in your configuration. ca_cert is likewise write-only and preserved.
  • Writing config makes the engine verify the credentials against Gitea (it must be a reachable site admin), so a bad URL/username/password fails the apply.

Import

terraform import gitea_secret_backend.gitea gitea
terraform import gitea_secret_backend_role.teabot gitea/roles/teabot

Development

make build      # build the provider binary
make install    # install into ~/.terraform.d/plugins for local use
make test       # unit tests (race)
make e2e        # apply real terraform against Vault + a mock Gitea (Docker)
make package    # build the release zip

Releases are tag-driven (make patch|minor|major): a Woodpecker pipeline builds terraform-provider-giteavaultsecret_<version>_linux_amd64.zip and PUTs it to the artifactapi terraform registry (.../api/v2/remotes/terraform-unkin/files/unkin/giteavaultsecret/<file>), which signs it server-side. Install it via the bare source address above.
