Prerequisites: This guide provides step-by-step guidance on how to fetch secrets from Infisical using Terraform.
- Set up and add envars to [Infisical Cloud](https://app.infisical.com) ## Prerequisites
- [Install the CLI](/cli/overview)
## Initialize Infisical for your [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) project - Basic understanding of Terraform
- Install [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html)
```bash ## Steps
# navigate to the root of your of your project
cd /path/to/project
# then initialize Infisical ### 1. Define Required Providers
infisical init
Specify `infisical` in the `required_providers` block within the `terraform` block of your configuration file. If you would like to use a specific version of the provider, uncomment and replace `<latest version>` with the version of the Infisical provider that you want to use.
```hcl main.tf
terraform {
required_providers {
infisical = {
# version = <latest version>
source = "infisical/infisical"
}
}
}
``` ```
## Run terraform as usual but with Infisical ### 2. Configure the Infisical Provider
```bash Set up the Infisical provider by specifying the `host` and `service_token`. Replace `<>` in `service_token` with your actual token. The `host` is only required if you are using a self-hosted instance of Infisical.
infisical run -- <your application start command>
# Example ```hcl main.tf
infisical run -- terraform plan provider "infisical" {
host = "https://app.infisical.com" # Only required if using self hosted instance of Infisical, default is https://app.infisical.com
service_token = "<>" # Get token https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/token
}
``` ```
<Note> <Warning>
To inject any arbitrary variable to terraform, you have It is recommended to use Terraform variables to pass your service token dynamically to avoid hard coding it
to prefix them with `TF_VAR`. Read more about that </Warning>
[here](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/config/environment-variables#tf_var_name).
</Note> ### 3. Fetch Infisical Secrets
Use the `infisical_secrets` data source to fetch your secrets. This is defined with an empty block `{}` as the provider automatically fetches all secrets associated with your service token.
```hcl main.tf
data "infisical_secrets" "my-secrets" {}
```
### 4. Define Outputs
As an example, we are going to output your fetched secrets. Replace `SECRET-NAME` with the actual name of your secret.
For a single secret:
```hcl main.tf
output "single-secret" {
value = data.infisical_secrets.my-secrets.secrets["SECRET-NAME"]
}
```
For all secrets:
```hcl
output "all-secrets" {
value = data.infisical_secrets.my-secrets.secrets
}
```
### 5. Run Terraform
Once your configuration is complete, initialize your Terraform working directory:
```bash
$ terraform init
```
Then, run the plan command to view the fetched secrets:
```bash
$ terraform plan
```
Terraform will now fetch your secrets from Infisical and display them as output according to your configuration.
## Conclusion
You have now successfully set up and used the Infisical provider with Terraform to fetch secrets. For more information, visit the [Infisical documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Infisical/infisical/latest/docs).
