Terraform with Docker for Macbook M1 (ARM)

My intention is to blog how I build Terraform in a Docker image, compile it and run as "alias". Official docker image for Terraform do not provide ARM64 architecture at the point of writing this article. In addition to that, I wanted to play with Google Distroless image.

Step:1

Create a docker file with multiple build stage:

DockerFile

Step:2 

Build the docker image, for my case, I intend to save the image in DockerHub hence I am running the following command:

"docker build -t wongchuinhun/terraform" and upload into my docker hub

wongchuinhun/terraform

Step: 3

I want to create an alias in my Macbook instead of typing the full docker command, hence I added the following in my zshrc file:

alias t = "docker run -it --rm wongchuinhun/terraform"

Step:4

To use it, I simple go to my terraform working folder and type the following code in my Terminal:

t init
