#geodesic (2022-03)

can you link to the readme you’re referring to?

https://github.com/cloudposse/tutorials

If you use this tutorial, it should work

But it should be cleared up…

also you’ll need to run make init first

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) are we supposed to just clone tf components into the components/terraform directory manually now? i was using vendir with the last version of atmos

run this Dockerfile https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/blob/master/examples/complete/Dockerfile

So as far as atmos is concerned, the components must “exist”. How they get there is flexible.

1. Copy them in manually and commit to VCS (which is what we do)
2. Use vendir to pull them in from remote sources. We want to get there, we will be building this into atmos natively. vendir is the best alternative today.
3. Use git submodules and make sure to run git clone --recurse-submodules

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) what am i supposed to pass when running docker run ?

nothing to pass, everything is defined in the dockerfile

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) i think i’m missing a step. here’s what I get when i run

########################################################################################            
# No filesystem is mounted at /localhost which limits Geodesic functionality.
# EXIT THIS SHELL and on your host computer,
# run the following to install the script that runs 
# Geodesic with all its features (the recommended way to use Geodesic):
#
#   docker run --rm cloudposse/geodesic:latest-debian init | bash
#
# After that, you should be able to launch Geodesic just by typing
#
#   geodesic
#

`

do you see the prompt? Execute any shell command

try docker exec or docker attach https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/attach/ (attach is what I do in IntelliJ IDEA)

@Michael Dizon did you get past your problems?

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) yep! thanks for following up. i have project that I built with the previous atmos release. trying to get it moved over!

@Michael Dizon let us know if you have any questions

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) def!

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) running into an issue with the latest version of account-map in the terraform-aws-components repo. when i run atmos terraform plan account-map -s tenant1-ue1-dev i get the following error:

│ Error: open ../../../stacks/tenant1-ue1-dev.yaml: no such file or directory
│ 
│   with module.accounts.module.backend_config.data.utils_stack_config_yaml.config,
│   on .terraform/modules/accounts/modules/backend/main.tf line 8, in data "utils_stack_config_yaml" "config":
│    8: data "utils_stack_config_yaml" "config" {
│ 

atmos.yml, stacks and components are in the same directory level

it seems like it’s looking for a single yaml file derived from the name_pattern, but my stacks follow the directory/file pattern defined in the examples

this looks like an error from the utils provider which is used in remote-state - we’ll have to look at terraform-aws-components component’s files

also, we usually deploy account and account-map in gbl environment (not in ue1) since those are global and not region-specific

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) i just saw the latest release on the atmos repo. will adding stack_name_pattern to the config for account-map resolve the issue i’m encountering?

stack_name_pattern is just for Spacelift, to name Spacelift stacks (not related to anything else)

what issues are you facing now?

the same as above with the utils provider in remote-state https://sweetops.slack.com/archives/CB84E9V54/p1648415337485669?thread_ts=1646770874.240219&cid=CB84E9V54

I think you need to look at atmos.yaml config https://github.com/cloudposse/atmos/blob/master/atmos.yaml#L1

am i supposed to have a yaml file that follows that naming convention?

my stacks are set up to use directories for tenants and environments eg tenant1/ue1/dev.yaml

not tenant1-ue1-dev.yaml

``atmos.yaml` is the CLI config (not related to stacks). You need to have it in one of the supported locations

yes, i have atmos.yaml in the same location as in the example

if you run atmos describe config, you should see the config defined in your atmos.yaml

the same level as components and stacks, you mentioned last week that it looks like there’s an error in the utils provider, and i’m wondering if that’s still the case. I see that the remote-state module is referencing 0.19.0 is that the correct version for the latest version of atmos?

here’s the output of atmos describe config

  "base_path": "",
  "Components": {
    "Terraform": {
      "base_path": "./components/terraform",
      "apply_auto_approve": false,

    "base_path": "./workflows"

}

i appreciate your answering my questions btw . it’s not obvious to me where exactly I’m missing something

I see that the remote-state module is referencing 0.19.0 is that the correct version for the latest version of atmos?

no, you should use 0.22.1

i am thinking of bumping the version of remote-state to 0.22.1

you can send me your code (or open a PR), I’ll review

ok, i’ll be able to work on that tomorrow

the code i am referencing is here https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-components/blob/master/modules/account-map/remote-state.tf

when bumping to 0.22.1, remove stack_config_local_path = "../../../stacks"

it gets automatically calculated by atmos using atmos.yaml

ok i can try that now. are there any other things i’ll need to update?

for the remote state, it should be enough (given that the provider can find atmos.yaml in one of the supported locations

oh, for the provider… it runs from the component folder

so atmos.yaml can’t be in the root of the repo

oh..

it should be in /usr/local/etc/atmos/atmos.yaml

is that last part a typo?

fixed

I had to create the atmos directory in etc . After moving atmos.yaml to that directory, I’m ran into the following error

╷

i just updated the base_path. looks like that made some progress

i’ll be able to continue on this tomorrow. hopefully this was helpful for you guys as well.

this is usually what we use
