Thank you! I haven't find anywhere in documentation that tfstate file first time need to manually created so wasted so many hours. Thanks to you for sharing the knowledge.
Thank you for watching my videos. There are multiple ways to override variables value. You can customise to process to change the varaible value doing executions. But under the hood you should mandatory parameters values.
Thanks for the tutorial. I manage to understand it even with my limited knowledege. I will now try to see if I can replicate this but instead of a vpc I will start an EC2 instance
Hi Sir please respond to this issue Error refreshing state: 2 problems: - Unsupported state file format: The state file could not be parsed as JSON: syntax error at byte offset 1. - Unsupported state file format: The state file does not have a "version" attribute, which is required to identify the format version.
Thank you for watching my videos. Did you first created state file locally and uploaded that to Gitlab state option. And hope that you watched the video correctly.
@@cloudquicklabs Thanks for reply. Yes i have did the steps same as the video, created state file locally and uploaded by running terraform plan command
Hello to you all. I have a problem and I don’t know how to solve it. I have my project and within my project I created several folders for different Stacks, example: VPC EC2 site ECS As we know terraform must be started and run in the directory. In the tutorial was passed the variable to get the project and the folder was inserted to which he used in the tutorial: variables: TF_DIR: ${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/terraform Before running terraform init it runs cd ${TF_DIR} to go to the correct directory. How do I do this in my case? would need to pass in my variable something that takes my directory, so when I run something the cd command goes to the current directory and with that can do the terraform init and everything else. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you for watching my videos. When you have multiple folders which means you have Terraform modules, as you are aware that Terraform execution limited to directory, you need to create Terraform module here say one more terraform/main.tf, where main.tf would contains the module invokes i.e running tf files in those three folders (i.e VPC, ECS, ECS site etc)
Thank you for watching my videos. Try to clear the Runner cache if you have set it up. Goto CI/CD>>Pipelines>>on top side >> clear Runner Caches And also check scaling of runners are set there.

everthing worked perfectly for me.. just a quick question. how to manage the overrides of variables that we generally do via tfvars?

Nice helpful video? do we need to create this state file steps for every new repo we add ???
Thank you for watching my videos.
Indeed you need to create per backend definition of your terraform.
Really nice video, It helped me a lot to understand and implement. Thank you..

I am currently looking to create new version of this video where I would covering further required Authentication.
Do you have something similar how to set up gitlab for deploy AMI with packer?
Thank you for watching my videos.
I have not done any videos on this concept but would like to explore based on your input here.

@@cloudquicklabs Thanks for reply.
Yes i have did the steps same as the video, created state file locally and uploaded by running terraform plan command
Don't you need a runner to configure gitlab ci/cd?
Thank you for watching my videos.
I have used default runners for this demo.

Indeed it is.
You are welcome.
nice video, you have created a manual step for tfstate file, cant gitlab automatically create it?
Thank you for watching my videos.
Currently suggested approach is shown in video. May be in future GitLab starts to support it.
i got error --This job is stuck because the project doesn't have any runners online assigned to it.
Thank you for watching my videos.
Try to clear the Runner cache if you have set it up.
Goto CI/CD>>Pipelines>>on top side >> clear Runner Caches
And also check scaling of runners are set there.

Here errors looks to be with permissions. Could you please check the steps again.
If you set any of the pipeline variables to be protected, check to make sure that you are not running this pipeline against an unprotected branch. Only master is protected by default.
