#terraform-tool

any way to get terraform to log output for a remote-exec?

jdiamond_: not yet, see here: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/70

pearkes: thanks.

what format is the .tfstate file in? would love to be able to edit it to add my existing droplets.

jdiamond_: yea, that's also a planned enhancement: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/92. But, you're free to mess around, it's http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/gob/

pearkes: thanks again.

might be time to learn go.

:)

just out of curiosity, why that format instead of a plain text file?

like the .tf files.

We store all sorts of things in there, not all plain text

i guess i meant human-editable format. even binary could be base64. we might not edit that part, but would be able to edit the other, simpler parts.

jdiamond_: Yea, there may be room for another format in place, but gob was the initial decision. mitchellh may be able to shed more light :)

(FWIW that was my first reaction too!)

the state.go file is easy to understand. maybe i'll try compiling it to see what kind of damage i can do. =)

yea, have fun. FYI that the tool to use existing infrastructure will likely not be inside of Terraform...or at least, we don't think it will be at this point

oh? i was imagining it would be a `terraform import` command or the like.

it's more complicated?

Ah nvm, yea, I was confusing it with Cloudformation imports, this thing will be embedded, sorry :)

with aws security groups, you can have a sort of circular reference to the security group…naturally i can't get the ID of the security group until after its been created, but i'm wondering if that ID would be available if i updated the resource to reference itself: `resource aws_security_group "app" { … ingress = { … security_groups = ["${aws_security_group.app.id}"] } }`

i suppose i could try, but i'm lazy ;)

or if perhaps the ingress rules are set after the group is created?

Sorry to be a pain guys but ETA on 0.1.1?

iszak_: should be this week
