GoTofuEnv

This project have been merged with tenv, and the work (improvements and bugfixes) will continue on the tenv repository.

OpenTofu version manager (inspired by tofuenv, written in Go)

Support Terraform too (see here).

Handle Semver 2.0.0 with go-version and use the HCL parser to extract required version constraint from OpenTofu files.

GoTofuEnv can use cosign (if present) to check OpenTofu signature or fallback to PGP using gopenpgp implementation. However, unstable OpenTofu versions are signed only with cosign (in this case, if cosign is not found GoTofuEnv will display a warning).

Installation

Automatic

Install via Homebrew (migration from dvaumoron/tap and renaming to tenv are in place)

brew tap tofuutils/tap
brew install gotofuenv

You can enable cosign check with :

brew install cosign

Usage

tofu

This project version of tofu command is a proxy to OpenTofu tofu command managed by tenv. The default resolution strategy is latest-allowed (without TOFUENV_TOFU_VERSION environment variable or .opentofu-version file).

terraform

This project version of terraform command is a proxy to Hashicorp terraform command managed by tenv. The default resolution strategy is latest-allowed (without TFENV_TERRAFORM_VERSION environment variable or .terraform-version file).

tenv install [version]

Install a requested version of OpenTofu (into TOFUENV_ROOT directory from TOFUENV_REMOTE url).

Without parameter the version to use is resolved automatically via TOFUENV_TOFU_VERSION or .opentofu-version files (searched in working directory, user home directory and TOFUENV_ROOT directory). Use "latest-stable" when none are found.

If a parameter is passed, available options:

• an exact Semver 2.0.0 version string to install
• a version constraint string (checked against available at TOFUENV_REMOTE url)
• latest or latest-stable (checked against available at TOFUENV_REMOTE url)
• latest-allowed or min-required to scan your OpenTofu files to detect which version is maximally allowed or minimally required.

See required_version docs.

tenv install 1.6.0-beta5
tenv install "~> 1.6.0"
tenv install latest
tenv install latest-stable
tenv install latest-allowed
tenv install min-required

Environment Variables

GoTofuEnv commands support the following environment variables.

TOFUENV_AUTO_INSTALL (alias TFENV_AUTO_INSTALL)

String (Default: true)

If set to true gotofuenv will automatically install missing OpenTofu version needed (fallback to latest-allowed strategy when no .opentofu-version files are found).

tenv subcommands detect and use support a --no-install, -n disabling flag version.

Example: use 1.6.0-rc1 version that is not installed, and auto installation is disabled. (-v flag is equivalent to TOFUENV_VERBOSE=true)

$ TOFUENV_AUTO_INSTALL=false tenv use -v 1.6.0-rc1
Write 1.6.0-rc1 in /home/dvaumoron/.gotofuenv/.opentofu-version

Example: use 1.6.0-rc1 version that is not installed, and auto installation stay enabled.

$ tenv use -v 1.6.0-rc1
Installation of OpenTofu 1.6.0-rc1
Write 1.6.0-rc1 in /home/dvaumoron/.gotofuenv/.opentofu-version

TOFUENV_FORCE_REMOTE (alias TFENV_FORCE_REMOTE)

String (Default: false)

If set to true gotofuenv detection of needed version will skip local check and verify compatibiliy on remote list.

tenv subcommands detect and use support a --force-remote, -f flag version.

TOFUENV_GITHUB_TOKEN

String (Default: "")

Allow to specify a GitHub token to increase GitHub Rate limits for the REST API. Useful because OpenTofu binares are downloaded from the OpenTofu GitHub repository.

tenv subcommands detect, install, list-remote and use support a --github-token, -t flag version.

TOFUENV_OPENTOFU_PGP_KEY

String (Default: "")

Allow to specify a local file path to OpenTofu PGP public key, if not present download https://get.opentofu.org/opentofu.asc.

tenv subcommands detect, ìnstall and use support a --key-file, -k flag version.

TFENV_HASHICORP_PGP_KEY

String (Default: "")

Allow to specify a local file path to Hashicorp PGP public key, if not present download https://www.hashicorp.com/.well-known/pgp-key.txt.

tenv tf subcommands detect, ìnstall and use support a --key-file, -k flag version.

TOFUENV_REMOTE

String (Default: https://api.github.com/repos/opentofu/opentofu/releases)

To install OpenTofu from a remote other than the default (must comply with Github REST API)

tenv subcommands detect, install, list-remote and use support a --remote-url, -u flag version.

TFENV_REMOTE

String (Default: https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform)

To install Terraform from a remote other than the default (must comply with Hashicorp Release API)

tenv tf subcommands detect, install, list-remote and use support a --remote-url, -u flag version.

TOFUENV_ROOT (alias TFENV_ROOT)

Path (Default: $HOME/.gotofuenv)

The path to a directory where the local OpenTofu versions, Terraform versions and GoTofuEnv configuration files exist.

tenv support a --root-path, -r flag version.

TOFUENV_TOFU_VERSION

String (Default: "")

If not empty string, this variable overrides OpenTofu version, specified in .opentofu-version files. tenv subcommands install and detect also respects this variable.

e.g. with :

$ tofu version
OpenTofu v1.6.0
on linux_amd64

then :

$ TOFUENV_TOFU_VERSION=1.6.0-rc1 tofu version
OpenTofu v1.6.0-rc1
on linux_amd64

TFENV_TERRAFORM_VERSION

String (Default: "")

If not empty string, this variable overrides Terraform version, specified in .terraform-version files.

tenv tf subcommands install and detect also respects this variable.

TOFUENV_VERBOSE (alias TFENV_VERBOSE)

String (Default: false)

Active the verbose display of gotofuenv.

tenv support a --verbose, -v flag version.

tenv use version

Switch the default OpenTofu version to use (set in .opentofu-version file in TOFUENV_ROOT).

tenv use has a --working-dir, -w flag to write .opentofu-version file in working directory.

Available parameter options:

.opentofu-version file

If you put a .opentofu-version file in working directory, user home directory or TOFUENV_ROOT directory, gotofuenv detects it and uses the version written in it. Note, that TOFUENV_TOFU_VERSION can be used to override version specified by .opentofu-version file.

Recognized value (same as tenv use command) :

• an exact Semver 2.0.0 version string to use
• a version constraint string (checked against available in TOFUENV_ROOT directory)
• latest or latest-stable (checked against available in TOFUENV_ROOT directory)
• latest-allowed or min-required to scan your OpenTofu files to detect which version is maximally allowed or minimally required.

See required_version docs.

Terraform support

GoTofuEnv rely on .terraform-version files, TFENV_HASHICORP_PGP_KEY, TFENV_REMOTE and TFENV_TERRAFORM_VERSION specifically to manage Terraform versions.

tenv tf have the same managing subcommands for Terraform versions (detect, install, list, list-remote, reset, uninstall and use).

GoTofuEnv check Terraform PGP signature (there is no cosign signature available).
