# Terraform Consul Backend Docker

[![Open Source Love](https://badges.frapsoft.com/os/v1/open-source.svg)](https://github.com/ellerbrock/open-source-badges/) [![Gitter Chat](https://badges.gitter.im/frapsoft/frapsoft.svg)](https://gitter.im/frapsoft/frapsoft/) [![MIT Licence](https://badges.frapsoft.com/os/mit/mit.svg?v=103)](https://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php)

## Configuration

Quick and dirty Setup to use [Consul](https://www.consul.io/) as [Backend](https://www.terraform.io/docs/backends/types/consul.html) for [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/).  

I currently need a quick solution for Alibaba Cloud to store my state.  

This is just a first test without SSL or any deep dive in security or stability.  

But it works and from there we can take it futher next time ...

Run with `docker-compose up` and you can see the WebGUI on .

### `docker-compose.yml`

```

version: '3'

services:

  consul:

    image: consul:latest

    container_name: consul

    volumes:

      - consul-data:/consul/data

    environment:

      - CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN="supersecure"

    ports:

      - 8300:8300/tcp

      - 8301:8301/tcp

      - 8301:8301/udp

      - 8302:8302/tcp

      - 8302:8302/udp

      - 8400:8400/tcp

      - 8500:8500/tcp

      - 8600:8600/tcp

      - 8600:8600/udp

    networks:

      - devops

networks:

  devops:

    driver: bridge

volumes:

  consul-data:

```

### `main.tf`

```

terraform {

  required_version = ">= 0.11.2"

  backend "consul" {

    address         = "localhost:8500"

    path            = "tf/state"

    access_token    = "supersecure"

    lock            = true

  }

}

```

### What's next

- secure transfere via ssl certificates

- further look how to use vault to store secrets

- cluster setup
