terraform-local 0.18.1

Thin wrapper script to run Terraform against LocalStack

tflocal - Terraform with LocalStack

This package provides tflocal - a small wrapper script to run Terraform against LocalStack.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• pip
• terraform

How it works

The script uses the Terraform Override mechanism and creates a temporary file localstack_providers_override.tf to configure the endpoints for the AWS provider section. The endpoints for all services are configured to point to the LocalStack API (http://localhost:4566 by default).

Installation

The tflocal command line interface can be installed via pip:

pip install terraform-local

Configurations

The following environment variables can be configured:

• DRY_RUN: Generate the override file without invoking Terraform
• TF_CMD: Terraform command to call (default: terraform)
• AWS_ENDPOINT_URL: hostname and port of the target LocalStack instance
• LOCALSTACK_HOSTNAME: (Deprecated) host name of the target LocalStack instance
• EDGE_PORT: (Deprecated) port number of the target LocalStack instance
• S3_HOSTNAME: special hostname to be used to connect to LocalStack S3 (default: s3.localhost.localstack.cloud)
• USE_EXEC: whether to use os.exec instead of subprocess.Popen (try using this in case of I/O issues)
• <SERVICE>_ENDPOINT: setting a custom service endpoint, e.g., COGNITO_IDP_ENDPOINT=http://example.com
• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: the AWS region to use (default: us-east-1, or determined from local credentials if boto3 is installed)
• CUSTOMIZE_ACCESS_KEY: enables to override the static AWS Access Key ID. The following cases are taking precedence over each other from top to bottom:
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID environment variable is set
  • access_key is set in the Terraform AWS provider
  • AWS_PROFILE environment variable is set and configured
  • AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE environment variable is set and configured
  • default profile's credentials are configured
  • falls back to the default AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID mock value
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: AWS Access Key ID to use for multi account setups (default: test -> account ID: 000000000000)

Usage

The tflocal command has the same usage as the terraform command. For detailed usage, please refer to the man pages of terraform --help.
