Fogg is an opinionated tool for managing infrastructure-as-code repositories using Terraform.



Terraform is a powerful tool for managing infrastructure– great when things go right, but dangerous

when they don't. Best practices are emerging for reducing this risk, but they require significant

work and knowledge to apply consistently.



We built fogg to automate these practices and scale to a larger pool of engineers who don't have to

be terraform experts to use it safely.



A few of the things fogg standardizes–



* repository layout

* remote state

* resource naming

* resource isolation



It makes life easy for folks working with cloud infrastructure. We've been using fogg and its

predecessor internally at CZI for ~10 months. It has made it possible for many developers without

terraform experience to safely roll new infrastructure with less stress and higher quality.



"I hope one day you might consider open sourcing `fogg`, i really love it. This would have saved me

so much time in the past." - @lenn0x



## Getting Help



If you need help getting started with fogg, either open a github issue or join our [gitter chat room](https://gitter.im/chanzuckerberg/fogg).



## Install



## Mac



You can use homebrew to install fogg –



```shell

brew tap chanzuckerberg/tap

brew install fogg

```



Note– if you installed fogg from homebrew before version 0.15.0, the tap location has changed. Run

this, then install as above–



```shell

brew uninstall fogg

brew untap chanzuckerberg/tap

```



## Linux



Binaries are available on the releases page. Download one for your architecture, put it in your path and make it executable.



Instructions on downloading the binary:



1. Go here:  to find which version of fogg you want.

2. Run `curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chanzuckerberg/fogg/master/download.sh | bash -s -- -b FOGG_PATH VERSION`

   1. FOGG_PATH is the directory where you want to install fogg

   2. VERSION is the release you want

3. To verify you installed the desired version, you can run `fogg version`.



## Usage



Fogg works entirely by generating code (terraform and make). It will generate directories and files

to organize and standardize your repo and then it gets out of your way for you to use terraform and

make to manage your infrastructure.



The basic workflow is –



1. update fogg.yml

2. run `fogg apply` to code generate

3. use the generated Makefiles to run your Terraform commands



### Enabling shell autocompletion



#### bash



##### Linux shell autocompletion



```shell

# Might need to install bash-completion on CentOS

yum install bash-completion

# install completion

echo "source <(fogg completion bash)" >> ~/.bashrc

```



##### Mac shell autocompletion



```shell

## If running Bash 3.2 included with macOS

brew install bash-completion

## or, if running Bash 4.1+

brew install bash-completion@2



# install completion

fogg completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/fogg

```



#### zsh



You can add the file generated by `fogg completion zsh` to a directory in your $fpath.



## Design Principles



### Convention over Configuration



Much like Ruby on Rails, we prefer to use conventions to organize our repos rather than a plethora

of configuration. Our opinions might not be exactly the way you would do things, but our hope is

that be having a set of clear opinions that are thoroughly applied will be productive.



### Transparency



Fogg tries to stay out of your way– it will do its work by generating Terraform and Make files, and

then it step aside for you to manage your infrastructure. Everything that could effect your

infrastructure is right there in your repository for you to read and understand.



There is no magic.



And if you ever decide to stop using it, you have a working repo you can take in a different

direction, just stop running `fogg apply` and go your own way.



## Contributing



We use standard go tools + makefiles to build fogg. Getting started should be as simple as-



1. install go

1. `$ go get github.com/chanzuckerberg/fogg`

1. `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/chanzuckerberg/fogg`

1. `make setup && make`

folder, fork this repo, and send a pull request.
