tofu

Contains OpenTofu code used to manage our infrastructure, Nix'ified for Terranix.

Prerequisites

Usage

  • Before issuing any other commands, enter the development environment (if not using direnv):

    nix develop -c $SHELL
    
  • Handle credentials

  • Applying changes:

    nix run
    
  • Validating logic:

    nix run .#check
    
  • Showing the generated plan:

    nix run .#plan
    
  • Applying changes, approving automatically:

    nix run .#cd
    
  • Removing local state and derived credentials:

    nix run .#destroy
    
  • Updating dependencies:

    nix flake update
    
  • Simulating a CI test (substituting <SOPS_AGE_KEY>):

    woodpecker-cli exec --env "SOPS_AGE_KEY=<SOPS_AGE_KEY>"
    

Secrets

  • if you want to reset secrets:

    • generate an age key pair, using rage installed as part of the nix shell:

      rage-keygen -o keys.txt
      
    • list it in sops config file .sops.yaml

  • key setup: set environment variable SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE or SOPS_AGE_KEY so sops can locate the secret key to an age key pair that has its public key listed in .sops.yaml, e.g.:

    export SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE=./keys.txt
    
  • encoding secrets:

    nix run .#encode
    
  • decoding secrets:

    nix run .#decode
    
  • setting Terraform Cloud credentials, either by:

    • decode (as per above) to reuse the shared session

    • log in to the Terraform Cloud backend:

      tofu login app.terraform.io
      

Configuring

In .auto.tfvars.json override any OpenTofu variables, e.g.:

hcloud_location = "nbg1"
