# Terraform module registry **(FREE)**
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/3221) in GitLab 14.0.
Publish Terraform modules in your project's Infrastructure Registry, then reference them using GitLab
as a Terraform module registry.
## Authenticate to the Terraform module registry
To authenticate to the Terraform module registry, you need either:
- A [personal access token](../../../api/index.md#personalproject-access-tokens) with at least `read_api` rights.
- A [CI/CD job token](../../../api/index.md#gitlab-cicd-job-token).
## Publish a Terraform Module
When you publish a Terraform Module, if it does not exist, it is created.
If a package with the same name and version already exists, it will not be created. It does not overwrite the existing package.
Prerequisites:
- You need to [authenticate with the API](../../../api/index.md#authentication). If authenticating with a deploy token, it must be configured with the `write_package_registry` scope.
```plaintext
PUT /projects/:id/packages/terraform/modules/:module_name/:module_system/:module_version/file
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| -------------------| --------------- | ---------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](../../../api/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding). |
| `module_name` | string | yes | The package name. It can contain only lowercase letters (`a-z`), uppercase letter (`A-Z`), numbers (`0-9`), or hyphens (`-`) and cannot exceed 64 characters.
| `module_system` | string | yes | The package system. It can contain only lowercase letters (`a-z`) and numbers (`0-9`), and cannot exceed 64 characters.
| `module_version` | string | yes | The package version. It must be valid according to the [Semantic Versioning Specification](https://semver.org/).
Provide the file content in the request body.
Example request using a personal access token:
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
--upload-file path/to/file.tgz \
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/terraform/modules/my-module/my-system/0.0.1/file"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"message":"201 Created"
}
```
Example request using a deploy token:
```shell
curl --header "DEPLOY-TOKEN: <deploy_token>" \
--upload-file path/to/file.tgz \
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/terraform/modules/my-module/my-system/0.0.1/file"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"message":"201 Created"
}
```
## Reference a Terraform Module
Prerequisites:
- You need to [authenticate with the API](../../../api/index.md#authentication). If authenticating with a personal access token, it must be configured with the `read_api` scope.
Authentication tokens (Job Token or Personal Access Token) can be provided for `terraform` in your `~/.terraformrc` file:
```plaintext
credentials "gitlab.com" {
token = "<TOKEN>"
}
```
Where `gitlab.com` can be replaced with the hostname of your self-managed GitLab instance.
You can then reference your Terraform Module from a downstream Terraform project:
```plaintext
module "<module>" {
source = "gitlab.com/<namespace>/<module_name>/<module_system>"
}
```
## Publish a Terraform module by using CI/CD
To work with Terraform modules in [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md), you can use
`CI_JOB_TOKEN` in place of the personal access token in your commands.
For example:
```yaml
image: curlimages/curl:latest
stages:
- upload
upload:
stage: upload
script:
- 'curl --header "JOB-TOKEN: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" --upload-file path/to/file.tgz "${CI_API_V4_URL}/projects/${CI_PROJECT_ID}/packages/terraform/modules/my-module/my-system/0.0.1/file"'
```
## Example projects
For examples of the Terraform module registry, check the projects below:
- The [_GitLab local file_ project](https://gitlab.com/mattkasa/gitlab-local-file) creates a minimal Terraform module and uploads it into the Terraform module registry using GitLab CI/CD.
- The [_Terraform module test_ project](https://gitlab.com/mattkasa/terraform-module-test) uses the module from the previous example.
