move management of Vault back to tf_vault approle. for this, we need to create a number of policies that are missing. - add policies to manage consul secret engines - add policies to manage pki secret engines - add policies to manage kv secret engines - add policies to manage ssh secret engines
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
