## Why `terraform-rancher` authenticates the rancher2 provider with a static 90-day admin API token stored in `kv/service/terraform/rancher` — the repo carries its own Makefile TODO to retire it. The Rancher secrets engine is already mounted at `rancher/` with a `ci` role (seeded `admin` service account, ttl 1h / max 8h), but no policy grants read on `rancher/creds/*`, so nothing can use it yet. ## What Adds `policies/rancher/creds/ci.yaml`: `read` on `rancher/creds/ci`, bound to the same runner identities as the existing kv policy — approle `terraform_rancher` and k8s/au/syd1 role `woodpecker_terraform_rancher`. Minted tokens are lease-bound and deleted from Rancher on revoke. They inherit the seeded admin service account's RBAC, so this is the same privilege as the static token it replaces, just short-lived. ## Follow-up A terraform-rancher Makefile PR swapping `vault kv get kv/service/terraform/rancher` for `vault read -field=token rancher/creds/ci` must merge **only after** this one applies.

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
