Learn how to configure Terraform to make use of Native Suppliers from Nexus

In case your group has blocked registry.terraform.io and has as a substitute downloaded the supplier binaries to Nexus, then you are able to do the next to nonetheless make your Terraform execute appropriately.

Step 1 – Obtain the Required Suppliers

In our instance, we’d like the next suppliers:

1. AWS
2. Archive

These instructions beneath are operating instantly from the pipeline that executes the Terraform:

# Obtain the suppliers from the Nexus repository
- curl -u ${Nexus_REPO_USER}:${Nexus_REPO_PASS} -o terraform-provider-aws4.65.0linuxamd64.zip https://nexus.instance.com/repository/some-local-mirror/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws/terraform-provider-aws_4.65.0_linux_amd64.zip
- curl -u ${Nexus_REPO_USER}:${Nexus_REPO_PASS} -o terraform-provider-archive_2.3.0_linux_amd64.zip https://nexus.instance.com/repository/local-mirror/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/archive/terraform-provider-archive_2.3.0_linux_amd64.zip
# Make a neighborhood listing to retailer these suppliers
- mkdir -p $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws/
- mkdir -p $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/archive/
# Transfer the downloaded zip recordsdata to those directories
- mv terraform-provider-aws_4.65.0_linux_amd64.zip $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws/
- mv terraform-provider-archive_2.3.0_linux_amd64.zip $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/archive/
# Give the permissions (not at all times required)
- chmod 777 -R $HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/

Step 2 – Run the Terraform code with a Plugin Listing

The next code continues the pipeline from above the place we left off:

# Add the "-plugin-dir" to make use of the identical location as above
- terraform init -plugin-dir=$HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/ -backend-config=env/dev/backend.conf -reconfigure-force-copy

Step 3 – Replace the terraform block to the identical variations as above

Now we have to modify or add the next code into our Terraform code:

terraform {

  required_providers {
    aws = {
      supply = "hashicorp/aws"
      model = "4.65.0"
    }
    archive = {
      supply = "hashicorp/archive"
      model = "2.3.0"
    }
  }

  # Add different options you want right here... e.g.
  # backend "s3" {
  #  ...
  #}

}
