Nexus terraform proxy #481

Open realRunlo opened 1 month ago

realRunlo commented 1 month ago

Hi,

I have configured a raw repository in Nexus as a Terraform provider mirror, and it works well. However, this solution requires me to implement an automation to manage the process of uploading providers to the repository, which I would like to avoid.

To address this, I set up a raw proxy in Nexus to serve as a proxy for https://registry.terraform.io/. The problem arises when I run the following command:

HTTPS_PROXY=https://nexus-instance/repositories/tf-proxy terraform init

I receive the error: malformed HTTP response. This is expected since the proxy is not configured for this specific use case.

For example, when terraform init is executed, it starts by requesting https://registry.terraform.io/.well-known/terraform.json. If I run:

curl https://nexus-instance/.well-known/terraform.json

It works correctly, and the response gets cached.

The ideal solution would be to have a dedicated "Terraform proxy" in Nexus and/or an implementation of a dynamic terraform provider mirror. Finally, the ability to perform further configurations on the raw proxy is appreciated.

Nexus Version: OSS 3.72.0 on ECS.

Best regards, Great job, by the way!

Well, isn't that the same as in #415 #120 ? JFrog has it https://jfrog.com/help/r/jfrog-artifactory-documentation/configure-terraform-provider-registry-with-artifactory-using-terraform-client

realRunlo commented 1 month ago

Yes jfrog has it but i was looking for the same feature in nexus, any plans to implement this in the future?

No idea, my reply was to @gracecllee :) ... Nexus should finally make it work. There is demand and there is competitor disadvantage of not having.

terraform provider support would be awesome
