Problem
Unable to define connection on custom worker to Jfrog Artifactory repository from TFE instance
Prerequisites (if applicable)
- Working TFE instance
- Providers configured in Artifactory
Cause
Even after adding the below configuration, Terraform Enterprise (TFE) is still not considering the configuration due to a missing credential file.
The custom worker has been modified by adding hooks as follows:
ADD --chown=tfc-agent:tfc-agent hooks /home/tfc-agent/.tfc-agent/hooks
In the hooks directory, there are two files: terraform-pre-plan and terraform-pre-apply, both containing the same content:
#!/bin/bash cat >> /tmp/cli.tfrc <<EOF provider_installation { direct { exclude = ["registry.terraform.io/*/*"] } network_mirror { url ="https://providers.tfe-example.com/artifactory/terraform-providers/"/" } } EOF
Solutions:
Set up the "TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE" environment variable in the custom agent to point to the credential file.
When using an alternative worker image with Terraform Cloud or Terraform Enterprise, the credential file must be located at /tmp/cli.tfrc because that is the default path where the Terraform CLI searches for it.
To use a different location for the credential file, specify the desired path by setting the TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable. For instance, you can set TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE to /root/.terraformrc if you want the credential file to be located at /root/.terraformrc inside the container.
