This restores the earlier behavior of the first positional argument to
terraform init in 0.9, but as a command line option.
The positional argument was removed to improve consistency with other
commands that take a working directory as their first positional argument.
It was originally intended that this functionality would return in a
later release along with some other general improvements to Terraform's
module handling, but we're introducing here an interim solution that
uses the existing module source concept, to allow for easier porting of
workflows that previously depended on the automatic copy behavior.
In a future release this feature may change again as the module
improvements design firms up, but we expect it to be broadly compatible
with this temporary state.
This now uses the canonical location for the logo image on the main Terraform website.
(The image isn't actually there at the time of this commit, but will be published here as
part of updating the website for the 0.10.0 release.)
The "terraform init" command has a lot of different functionality now,
making it hard to follow all of the options in the previous presentation.
Instead, here we describe each of the steps and its associated options
separately, hopefully making it easier to understand what each option
relates to.
In addition, much of the detail around backend partial configuration is
factored out into the backend configuration page, where it seems more
"at home"; previously it felt hard to follow exactly how partial
configuration would be used, due to the information on it being split over
two different pages.
The examples for these providers have moved into the providers' own
repositories, so this is just cleaning up the old copies in the main repo
to avoid any confusion caused by the duplication.
The examples readme has links to these provider-specific examples so that
people looking for them in the old location can still find them.
At the time of commit this file contains some things that are not yet true
due to the dockerhub configuration not having been updated. This therefore
remains aspirational until merged, after which the docherhub configuration
will be updated.
These are different than our "full" images because they include a binary
already released to releases.hashicorp.com, whereas the root Dockerfile
directly builds from the current work tree.
This particular Dockerfile is not intended to be run manually, but rather
exists only to drive the dockerhub automated build.
Previously this lived in a separate repo docker-hub-images, shared with
other products. Having multiple products sharing a repo complicates
release processes and works against some assumptions made by the Dockerhub
build system.
The "full" Dockerfile contains a Terraform binary built from source, and
so it can be used with any arbitrary Terraform source tree. This doesn't
yet include the "light" Dockerfile, which instead makes an image from
official binaries already on releases.hashicorp.com. That will follow in
a subsequent commit.
This is documented for all other Hashicorp products using this service but
was missed for Terraform. This serves as a disclosure of the fact that
Terraform reaches out to a Hashicorp service, an explanation of the
purpose of that request, and instructions on how to disable it in
environments where it is inappropriate or cannot be supported due to a
firewall or other connectivity restrictions.
Based on feedback from #15569 that the previous example was too abstract
and did not give enough context about what each of the different arguments
mean and how they generalize to other resource types.
The intent here is just to introduce some initial docs on our recommended
way to develop plugins in the same GOPATH as Terraform itself. The
documentation in this area needs some more fundamental rework as it is
rather outdated and mis-organized, but that's outside the scope of what
this change is trying to achieve.
