Terraform Modules and Examples to help with setting up test Consul clusters in Docker.
There is a server module as well as a client module for configuring servers and clients within a datacenter respectively. The
server module has two important outputs join and wan_join. These can be used as extra_args to further invocations of
these modules to cause other clients or servers to join the cluster properly.
-
simple-with-ui- Runs a single 3 server DC + 1 client agent with the UI enabled. The UI client will be port mapped so that 8500/8600 are available outside the container. -
multi-dc- Runs two datacenters (primary, secondary). Each DC has 3 servers and 1 client with the UI enabled. The primary UI/DNS will be on 8500/8600 and the secondary on 8501/8601. This setup uses 3 docker networks (primary, secondary, wan). The client agents only are connected to either the primary or secondary and servers get connect to one of those + wan. Cross-DC communications happen over the wan network. -
mesh-gateway- This starts out as multi-dc but then adds a bunch more. See the README
