DR2 Terraform GitHub repositories

This repository is used to add secrets to existing repositories for dp (dr2) repositories. This allows us to add secrets directly from Parameter Store / Secrets Manager

Running Terraform Project Locally

1. Clone DR2 GitHub Repositories project to local machine: https://github.com/nationalarchives/dr2-terraform-github-repositories and navigate to the directory

2. Initialize Terraform (if not done so previously):

   [location of project] $ terraform init
   

3. To ensure the modules are up-to-date, run

   [location of project] $ terraform get -update
   

4. (After making your changes) Run Terraform to view changes that will be made to the DR2 environment AWS resources

   [location of project] $ terraform plan
   

5. Run terraform fmt --recursive to properly format your Terraform changes before pushing to a branch.

Create a new repository

Add a new module in the root.tf file

module "github_preservica_client_repository" {
  source          = "git::https://github.com/nationalarchives/da-terraform-modules//github_repositories"
  repository_name = "nationalarchives/dp-example-repo"
  secrets = {
    "ACTIONS_SECRET_NAME" : data.aws_ssm_parameter.actions_secret.value
  }
}

Raise a pull request to merge to the main branch.

On merge to main, GitHub Actions will run Terraform to create the new repository.
