Workspaces

Semaphore provides built-in support for Terraform workspaces, allowing you to manage multiple environments and configurations within a single project. This feature helps you maintain separate state files for different environments like development, staging, and production.

Features

• Workspace Management: Create, switch, and delete workspaces directly from the Semaphore UI.
• State Isolation: Each workspace maintains its own state file, preventing conflicts between environments.
• Environment Variables: Configure workspace-specific environment variables.
• Workspace Selection: Choose the target workspace when running Terraform commands.

Using Workspaces in Semaphore

Creating a Workspace

In the Workspaces section of the Terraform/OpenTofu template where you want to add a workspace, follow these steps:

1. Click the ➕ button.
2. In the menu that appears, select New Workspace.
3. In the modal dialog, enter the workspace name and select the SSH key to be used for cloning modules.
4. Click the Create button to add the new workspace to the template.
5. You can now use this workspace to run tasks.

Switching workspaces

You can set the default workspace for a Terraform/OpenTofu template by clicking the MAKE DEFAULT button.

Workspace-specific variables

Semaphore currently does not support workspace-specific variables.
