Terraform Configuration Files

Straight from the docs at https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/docker/index.html

provider "docker" {
  host = "tcp://localhost:2376"

  registry_auth {
    address = "registry.hub.docker.com"
    config_file = "${pathexpand("~/.docker/config.json")}"
  }

  registry_auth {
    address = "quay.io:8181"
    username = "someuser"
    password = "somepass"
  }
}

The config_file must reference a file. It can't be a string. The config.json file contains credentials and therefore we could not check the file into git. We are using Terraform enterprise, and if the config_file could be a string, we could have simply populated value from a secret Terraform Enterprise workspace variable. We were forced to write a jenkins job instead of using Terraform Enterprise since there's no way to get the file into terraform without it being checked into the code.
