CI installed vault by shelling out to `dnf install vault -y`, which reads metadata for every enabled repo (appstream/baseos/crb/epel/ha) and downloads the 169MB vendored vault RPM from the unkin repo on every pipeline run (~39s per plan/apply job). - Replace the dnf install with a pinned curl of the upstream vault zip from the artifactapi hashicorp-releases remote proxy, extracted with python3 to /usr/local/bin/vault. - Pin the version via a VAULT_VERSION env var (1.20.0).
terraform-vault
A repository to manage the configuration of Vault secret engines, authentication modes and policies.
Usage
- Initialize Terraform
Once you have your backend block configured, you need to initialize your Terraform working directory to configure the backend:
terraform init
This command initializes the backend and checks the connection to Consul. If everything is set up correctly, Terraform will start using Consul as its backend for storing the state.
- Common terraform init Errors
If you encounter errors while running terraform init, check the following:
Consul server is reachable: Make sure that the address is correct and that you can connect to the Consul server.
Consul token (if using ACLs): Verify that the token has the correct permissions to write to the specified path in the Consul KV store.
- Example Consul KV Structure
In Consul, the state file will be stored in the KV store under the specified path:
terraform/state
You can check the Consul KV store by accessing the Consul UI or using the consul kv command to see the stored Terraform state:
consul kv get terraform/state
