The rancher token secrets engine is registered ('imported') into the catalog by
terraform-vault (sys/plugins/catalog, sudo-protected) and configured via the
ranchervaultsecret provider, so the deployer needs catalog access plus write on
the engine's config/service-accounts/roles paths. Without this, apply 403s on
plugin registration and on rancher/* writes.
- Add policies/rancher/admin.yaml granting the tf_vault approle and the
woodpecker_terraform_vault k8s role: catalog sudo on the plugin, and manage on
rancher/{config,service-accounts,roles}.
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
