solaris

solaris is a small command line tool which allows to keep track of dependencies between related terraform configurations.

Install

Binary Download

Navigate to Releases, grab the package that matches your operating system and achitecture. Unpack the archive and put the binary file somewhere in your $PATH

From Source

Make sure you have go installed, then run:

# go get -u https://github.com/unprofession-al/solaris

How it works

solaris analyzes the current directory and its subdirectories. Based on the terraform outputs and remote states solaris is able to discover dependencies between those configurations.

In addition to that solaris allows you do document manual work required to be executed before or after a terraform configuration has been applied. This documentation can again refere to terraform outputs in order to project dependencies between a terraform configuration and manual tasks.

Based on this information you can...

• ... draw a graph to visualize your dependencies
• ... 'lint' your dependencies in order do avoid confusion
• ... generate a step-by-step documentation that allows you to bootstrap your environment

Run

Execute just solaris to get a general help. Append --help for more infromation of each sub command.

handle dependencies between multiple terraform workspaces

Usage:
  solaris [command]

Available Commands:
  graph       generate dot output of terraform workspace dependencies
  help        Help about any command
  json        print a json representation of terraform workspace dependencies
  lint        lint terraform workspace dependencies
  plan        print execution order of terraform workspaces

Flags:
  -b, --base string      the base directory (default ".")
      --debug            write debug output to STDERR
  -h, --help             help for solaris
  -i, --ignore strings   ignore subdirectories that match the given patterns

Use "solaris [command] --help" for more information about a command.

TODO

• Create Data Sources via solaris: solaris refer service/test -> creates terraform_remote_state data source
• Allow terraform_remote_states with backends other than s3
• Add tests
