Dockerfile for terraform

What is terraform

Terraform provides a common configuration to launch infrastructure — from physical and virtual servers to email and DNS providers. Once launched, Terraform safely and efficiently changes infrastructure as the configuration is evolved.

Simple file based configuration gives you a single view of your entire infrastructure.

Terraform

It's purpose is to run any terraform based project that is placed in the container. You can enter any command required to build your project other than the terraform commands as well (e.g. make etc.)

Usage

Creating a Container:

docker run -d --name stakater_terraform -v /etc/myTerraformCode:/usr/src/app stakater/terraform

Running Your Code:

To run your code, pass commands to the docker container using exec

docker exec stakater_terraform /bin/bash -c "cd /usr/src/app; <command here>" 

e.g.

docker exec stakater_terraform /bin/bash -c "cd /usr/src/app; terraform apply" 

OR

docker exec stakater_terraform /bin/bash -c "cd /usr/src/app; make myApp"
