Terraform Provider for dbt Cloud

This repo was originally created by a dbt community member, Gary James [GtheSheep]

If you are still using the GtheSheep/dbt-cloud source, see Upgrading from the community Provider to upgrade to the latest version.

Scope

Provide the ability to manage dbt Cloud projects and account settings via Terraform resources. Data sources are also available for most resources.

In order to use this provider, add the following to your Terraform providers setup, with the latest version number.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    dbtcloud = {
      source  = "dbt-labs/dbtcloud"
      version = "<version>"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

If you want to explicitly set the authentication variables on the provider, you can do so as below, though likely via a variables.tf file or config in your CI-CD pipeline to keep these credentials safe.

provider "dbtcloud" {
  // required
  account_id = ...
  token      = "..."
  // optional - defaults to the US Multi Tenant URL "https://cloud.getdbt.com/api"
  host_url   = "..."
}

You can also set them via environment variables:
DBT_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_ID for the account_id.
DBT_CLOUD_TOKEN for the token.
DBT_CLOUD_HOST_URL (Optional) for the host_url.

Getting started and Examples

The provider documentation is directly available on the Terraform Registry.

Importing existing dbt Cloud configuration

The CLI dbtcloud-terraforming can be used to generate the Terraform configuration and import statements based on your existing dbt Cloud configuration.

Running Acceptance Tests

Currently, acceptance tests, run via make test-acceptance must be done on your own account
