config_builder

The config_builder feature allows users to dynamically generate Terrateam configurations at runtime using custom scripts. This feature is useful in cases where configurations depend on external data or require complex logic that isn’t feasible with static files.

Default Configuration

.terrateam/config.yml

config_builder:
  enabled: false

Keys

Key	Type	Description
enabled	boolean	Enables or disables the config builder. Default is false.
script	string	A script that dynamically generates the configuration. The script can include logic such as conditionals, environment variables, or external commands. This key must be set when enabled is true.

Script Behavior

When enabled is set to true, the script key defines a script that will be executed at runtime. This script can use external data sources, environment variables, or any other logic required to dynamically generate a configuration. The output of the script must be a valid configuration for Terrateam.

Configuration Ordering

It’s important to note that the config_builder does not override configurations defined elsewhere, such as in .terrateam/config.yml or centralized configurations.

Examples

Using Python to Generate Dynamic Configuration

This example shows how you can use a Python 3 script within the config_builder to generate configurations dynamically.

.terrateam/config.yml

config_builder:
  enabled: true
  script: |
    #! /usr/bin/env python3
    import sys
    # Generate configuration here
    sys.exit()

Considerations

When configuring the config_builder, keep the following in mind:

• The script is executed during runtime, and it must generate a valid configuration or exit with an error.
• Be cautious when using external APIs or sensitive data in your script. Make sure to secure API keys and other credentials properly.
