Private Registry

The registry at registry.terraform.io may only host public modules. Terraform is capable of loading modules from private registries for private modules.

Official private registries are available via Terraform Enterprise. There are two tiers: Pro and Enterprise. The Pro version is only available as a SaaS service whereas the Enterprise version is available for private install. Both versions fully support private registries.

Terraform interacts with module registries using the registry API. The Terraform open source project does not provide a server implementation, but we welcome community members to create their own private registries by following the published protocol.

Modules can alternatively be referenced directly from version control and other sources, but only registry modules support certain features such as version constraints.

Private Registry Module Sources

Public Terraform Registry modules have source strings of the form namespace/name/provider. Private registries -- whether integrated into Terraform Enterprise or via a third-party implementation -- require an additional hostname prefix:

module "example" {
  source = "example.com/namespace/name/provider"
}

Private registry module sources are supported in Terraform v0.11.0 and newer.

Coming Soon

Terraform Enterprise is currently in beta and does not allow open signups.

Terraform Enterprise will be publicly available for self service signup by the end of 2017. In the mean time, if you're interested in private registries and being part of the beta, please contact us at hello@hashicorp.com.

When Terraform Enterprise is publicly available, Private Registry documentation will be available here.
