Automate GitLab + Terraform (state file, and more)
Video write-up
In this video, I’ll be diving into my self-hosted GitLab platform and how I use it to manage all my HomeLab projects. I'll show you how I've automated my project management with GitLab and Terraform, making it easier to handle everything without the hassle of manual UI management. We’ll explore two key integrations: using the Terraform Provider for configuring GitLab resources and leveraging GitLab as a backend for Terraform state files. Join me as I walk you through the setup and functionality of this powerful combination!
