Am I the only person who sees no advantage in using Terragrunt over pure Terraform/OpenTofu? If anything i think it adds unnecessary complexity that you're locked in to.

TIL: tf override files work for module source and version too.
This way you can develop your modules locally w/o overriding the module.source and having to fear to commit the local path in the root module.

Override Files | OpenTofu

Override files merge additional settings into existing configuration objects. Learn how to use override files and about merging behavior.

The apply before-or-after merge debate is perennial, but I find this article from Terramate covers it thoroughly and has a nice tabulated summary at the end.

Mastering Terraform Workflows: apply-before-merge vs apply-after-merge

Discover the two main Terraform and OpenTofu workflows: apply-before-merge and apply-after-merge, and learn why apply-after-merge is likely the better choice.

Hashicorp cloud give you no way to cancel your accounts via self service... you have to sign up to their customer portal and raise a ticket.

Easier it seems to go to https://privacy.hashicorp.com/ and request deletion of all your data from their systems if you live in a country that has some respect for user (human?) rights?

I'll reply to this if it works out...

"#Proxmox, #Vagrant, #OpenTofu
Admins können die neue, dreifach verschachtelte Cloud fortan per Proxmox-Web-Frontend steuern oder per Open-Tofu-Konfigurationsdateien dauerhafte Änderungen vornehmen. Damit das funktioniert, nutzt das Beispielsetup das #Hashicorp-Tool #Packer, um ein #Linux mit Proxmox vorzubereiten, das dann von Vagrant via Konfigurationsdatei provisioniert und mit OpenTofus *.tf-Dateien konfiguriert wird. #adfinis @nikslor #opensource

Opentofu + Tailscale = Bootstrapped DevOps environment with VPN

This post covers the concept of deploying VMs on Hetzner via Opentofu with tailscale pre-setup

hello

this is @fif@femcel.online

this instance is snac in a freebsd arm64 vm hosted on a free Azure tenant.

the plan is to freeload free azure accounts and move this instance whenever my free credits are about to run out. i plan on using #Ansible #OpenTofu #DevOps to make this supa fast to set up but yeah
Noch was kompliziertes: #kubernetes soll #nomad ablösen weil es mit Nomad immer weniger Spaß macht. Diesmal die Idee auch: #Proxmox VMs und k8s Cluster aus CI/CD (Gitlab) fallen lassen. Klappt von Hand schon gut, aber aus #pipeline nicht, weil #opentofu State Datei wohl eminent wichtig ist und man die sichern will (hab doch keine Ahnung !!!) . Dafür gibt es Lösungen, aber nun hat #Gitlab keinen direkten Zugriff sondern benötigt einen Jumphost und dann haben wir wieder das State Datei Problem 🙄

Finally got half a day to migrate from #hashicorp #terraform cloud to #opentofu it was really painless as you can run `tofu state pull` then switch to an alternative state provider and it will automatically upload it!

Looks like the good people at #forgejo are working on support for a state management backend aswell: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/3606

[FEAT] Packages: handle terraform / opentofu state

### Needs and benefits When we want to deploy infrastructure using terraform/opentofu, the state needs to be stored somewhere. When the infrastructure is deployed using CICD actions, it could be very useful to store the state on the project package itself, this would make it simpler by not re...
