GeneticScores.org infrastructure

OpenTofu is an open source infrastructure as code tool (forked from Terraform).

You can use this repository to create Google Cloud Platform infrastructure to run an instance of GeneticScores.org.

Tip

The main branch of the live repository should be a 1:1 representation of what’s actually deployed in production.

Setup

$ brew update
$ brew install tofu
$ tofu init
$ gcloud auth application-default login

Before you get started

Make sure a backend bucket exists in the production project, e.g.:

gs://genetic-scores-tofu-state

Enabling object versioning, soft delete, and encryption is a good idea.

Note

This bucket will contain the state of your infrastructure in lock files, which helps people to collaborate and reduces the risk of losing state

Pick an environment

$ cd environments/test

Plan a deployment

$ tofu plan

Tip

plan will prompt for variables. You can put these variables in a file to save time, e.g.:

$ tofu plan -var-file="testing.tfvars"

If everything looks sensible, create the resources by applying the deployment.

Execute a deployment

$ tofu apply
