Local backend configuration reference

Introduction

Lokomotive supports local backend for storing Terraform state.

Backend configuration is OPTIONAL. If no backend configuration is provided then local backend is used.

NOTE: lokoctl does not support multiple backends, configure only one.

There are no prerequisites for using local backend.

To use a backend, we need to define a configuration in the .lokocfg file.

Example configuration file local_backend.lokocfg:

backend "local" {
  path = "terraform.tfstate"
}

Default backend is local.

Argument	Description	Default	Type	Required
`backend.local`	Local backend configuration block.	-	object	false
`backend.local.path`	Location where Lokomotive stores the cluster state.	-	string	false
