# terraform-rancher
Terraform configuration for managing Rancher (rancher.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net)
authentication via the [rancher2](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/rancher/rancher2)
provider. Mirrors the `terraform-authentik` pattern.
## Managed Resources
- **Keycloak(OIDC) auth config** — Authentik OIDC login for Rancher.
- **Global role bindings** — Authentik group → Rancher global role.
- **Users** — Rancher-local users and their global roles.
- **Global roles** — custom Rancher global roles.
- **Tokens** — API tokens for the identity Terraform authenticates as.
- **Settings** — Rancher settings such as `server-url`.
## Configuration
Every kind is discovered from YAML by `config/config.hcl`: the file name is the
object's key/name and the file body holds its attributes. Adding a file is the
only step needed to manage a new object; an empty directory means an empty map.
`config/keycloakoidc.yaml` defines the auth provider. The OAuth client secret is
read from Vault (kv-v2) — the same secret Authentik sets on its `rancher`
provider — and is never committed.
`access_mode: unrestricted` lets any authenticated Authentik user log in; Rancher
roles are granted to users/groups separately. This avoids locking the admin out
when the provider is first enabled.
### `config/global_role_bindings/<group>.yaml`
```yaml
global_role_id: admin
```
### `config/users/<username>.yaml`
```yaml
name: Some Person # optional display name, defaults to the file name
enabled: true # optional, default true
must_change_password: false # optional, default false
password_vault: # required — rancher2_user requires a password
mount: kv
path: service/rancher/users/someperson
key: password # optional, default "password"
global_role_bindings: # optional
- user
```
The password is read from Vault **at plan time**, so seed the kv-v2 secret
before adding the file, or the plan fails.
The file name (the username) and every entry in `global_role_bindings` must be
an RFC 1123 label — `^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$`, i.e. lowercase
alphanumerics and `-`, starting and ending alphanumeric. No `.`, `_`, `@` or
uppercase. Rancher names each binding `akuser-<username>-<role>` and rejects
anything else, so non-compliant values fail the plan with an explicit error
instead of the apply. Names that are individually valid but collapse to the same
binding name (e.g. `foo-bar` + `baz` and `foo` + `bar-baz`) are rejected at plan
time too.
### `config/roles/<name>.yaml`
```yaml
description: Read-only across all clusters
new_user_default: false # optional, default false
inherited_cluster_roles: # optional
- view
rules: # optional
- api_groups: ["management.cattle.io"]
resources: ["clusters"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
# non_resource_urls and resource_names are also supported
```
### `config/tokens/<name>.yaml`
```yaml
description: CI token # optional, defaults to the file name
ttl: 7776000 # optional, seconds
renew: true # optional
cluster_id: c-m-abcdefgh # optional, scopes the token to one cluster
```
> **Caveat:** `rancher2_token` has no user selector — `user_id` is computed by
> the provider (14.1.1), not settable. Tokens declared here are minted for the
> identity the rancher2 provider authenticates as (the admin token Terraform
> runs with), **not** for users in `config/users/`. A token for another user has
> to be created by that user. Token values land in Terraform state.
### `config/settings/<name>.yaml`
```yaml
value: https://rancher.k8s.syd1.au.unkin.net
```
Rancher ships defaults for its settings, so an entry takes over an existing
setting rather than creating a new one.
## Usage
```sh
make plan # init + plan
make apply # init + plan + apply
make format # fmt tofu + terragrunt hcl
```
### Authentication
The rancher2 provider needs a Rancher API token, minted on demand by the Vault
Rancher secrets engine at `rancher/creds/ci`. The token is ephemeral (1h lease)
and Vault revokes it in Rancher when the lease expires, so nothing needs
rotating.
Set `VAULT_ROLEID` for local AppRole auth, or `VAULT_AUTH_METHOD=kubernetes`
for CI (Woodpecker).
