# Alpha Project Manager

An Infrastructure as Code manager to deploy lab infrastructure. Working with Atrium, Gitlab CI, Terraform, Cloud-init and Scaleway.

### How does it work ?

At first, Gitlab CI will run scripts to generate environment variables.
They will be used in Terraform for configuration and securing credentials.

After this, Gitlab CI will initiate Terraform, which create infrastructure matching the configuration.
While deploying resources, especially instances, Terraform will provide the cloud-init.yml script so it can be executed after boot and configure the instances.

Infrastructure is ready, the cloud-init script will run at boot 3 services and leave 3 services running : atrium which serve as a reverse-proxy, code-server and webtop.

## Setup Terraform Locally

First, you must setup 2 local files for your variables :

### variables-local.tf 

Create a file **variables-local.tf** containing the following code :
```hcl
variable "FORGE_PROJECT_ID" {
  type        = string
  description = "Forge Project ID"
  default     = "your project id"
  sensitive   = true
}

variable "FORGE_USERNAME" {
  type        = string
  description = "Forge Username"
  default     = "your username"
  sensitive   = true
}

variable "FORGE_ACCESS_TOKEN" {
  type        = string
  description = "Forge Access Token"
  default     = "your access token"
  sensitive   = true
}
```
### variables-local.tfvars

Now, you can create a file for your variables information called **variables-local.tfvars** containing the following code :
```hcl
### SCW variables

SCW_PROJECT_ID         = ""
SCW_ACCESS_KEY         = ""
SCW_SECRET_KEY         = ""
SCW_SSH_PUB_KEY        = ""
SCW_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY    = ""
INSTANCES_COUNT        = "2"
ENVIRONMENT            = "devrust"
```

### Terraform init - Gitlab remote tfstate

You can grab a init command from your gitlab project on menu Infrastructure > Terraform.
Select your environment and click the actions button, then you will only need to provide a gitlab project token.
Command should look like :
```bash
export GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN=<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>
terraform init \
    -backend-config="address=https://forge.grandlyon.com/api/v4/projects/875/terraform/state/devrust" \
    -backend-config="lock_address=https://forge.grandlyon.com/api/v4/projects/875/terraform/state/devrust/lock" \
    -backend-config="unlock_address=https://forge.grandlyon.com/api/v4/projects/875/terraform/state/devrust/lock" \
    -backend-config="username=xxxxxxx" \
    -backend-config="password=$GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -backend-config="lock_method=POST" \
    -backend-config="unlock_method=DELETE" \
    -backend-config="retry_wait_min=5"

terraform init -var-file=variables-local.tfvars
```

### Terraform plan - With variables file

```bash
terraform plan -var-file=variables-local.tfvars -out=tfplan
```

### Terraform apply - With plan

```bash
terraform apply tfplan
```

### Terraform destroy - With variables file

```bash
terraform destroy -var-file=variables-local.tfvars
```
