OpenTofu CI/CD Component

🚨 🚧 NOTE 🚧 🚨

This component is work in progress, where inputs, template names and the entire interface in general may change at any time until version 1.0.0 is reached. From where on this CI/CD component will be versioned using semver 2.0. The progress of implementing such a version can be tracked in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/12401.

The src/gitlab-tofu.sh script is still merely a copy from gitlab-terraform. Therefore, lots of things in this script and in the templates are still Terraform-related and haven't been changed to their OpenTofu equivalents.

This project is home to the OpenTofu CI/CD component and it's related assets, like the gitlab-tofu wrapper script and OCI images containing that script together with an OpenTofu version.

Usage

include:
  - component: gitlab.com/components/opentofu/full-pipeline@<VERSION>
    inputs:
      # The version must currently be specified explicitly as an input,
      # to find the correctly associated images. # This can be removed 
      # once https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/438275 is solved.
      version: <VERSION>
      opentofu_version: <OPENTOFU_VERSION>

stages: [validate, test, build, deploy, cleanup]

A concrete example may look like this:

# Using `latest`
include:
  - component: gitlab.com/components/opentofu/full-pipeline@~latest
    inputs:
      # The version must currently be specified explicitly as an input,
      # to find the correctly associated images. # This can be removed 
      # once https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/438275 is solved.
      version: latest
      opentofu_version: 1.6.0

stages: [validate, test, build, deploy, cleanup]

---

# ... or using `0.0.0-alpha1`:
include:
  - component: gitlab.com/components/opentofu/full-pipeline@0.0.0-alpha1
    inputs:
      # The version must currently be specified explicitly as an input,
      # to find the correctly associated images. # This can be removed 
      # once https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/438275 is solved.
      version: 0.0.0-alpha1
      opentofu_version: 1.6.0

stages: [validate, test, build, deploy, cleanup]

stage_cleanup cleanup Defines the cleanup stage. This stage includes the destroy and delete-state jobs.
version latest Version of this component. Has to be the same as the one in the component include entry.
opentofu_version 1.6.0 OpenTofu version that should be used. Must be one of 1.6.0, 1.6.0-rc1.
root_dir ${CI_PROJECT_DIR} Root directory for the OpenTofu project.

Available OpenTofu Versions

The following OpenTofu versions are available with this component via the opentofu_version input:

Releases & Versioning

This project currently releases tagged commits. An overview of releases can be found on the Releases page.

Each release is accessible in the CI/CD Catalog.

Component Versions

The component release versions follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.

Image Versions

This project releases multiple OCI image variants that can be used with the component. The intention is that the images used in a component have the same version and or not mixed. Due to the limitations described in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/438275 it's currently required to provide the component version in the component include field and as the version input. Check out the Usage section for examples.

Each component release deploys the following images:

  • registry.gitlab.com/components/opentofu/gitlab-opentofu:<VERSION>-opentofu<OPENTOFU_VERSION>
  • registry.gitlab.com/components/opentofu/gitlab-opentofu:<VERSION>-opentofu
    • Includes the latest stable OpenTofu version at the time of releasing the component
  • registry.gitlab.com/components/opentofu/gitlab-opentofu:<VERSION>
    • Includes the latest stable OpenTofu version at the time of releasing the component

In the above examples <VERSION> references the component version and <OPENTOFU_VERSION> an OpenTofu release, from here.

Note: unfortunately, these image versions are not SemVer compatible, because - indicates a prerelease (which they are not in this case). However, we cannot use the alternative + which would indicate build metadata as we'd like. See https://github.com/distribution/distribution/issues/1201
