I am trying to create a Docker file that will include all the necessary packages and configurations for running the CDK for Terraform (cdktf) with Typescript and Node. The goal is to make it easier for end-users to quickly download and run the cdktf through a Docker container. Can anyone provide guidance on how to accomplish this task
I tried this without success:
FROM node:14-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
RUN npm install --global cdktf-cli@latest
CMD [ "sh" ]
and this is the error what I get:
/usr/local/bin/cdktf -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cdktf-cli/bundle/bin/cdktf
npm WARN ink-select-input@4.2.1 requires a peer of ink@^3.0.5 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
npm WARN ink-select-input@4.2.1 requires a peer of react@^16.5.2 || ^17.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.

npm WARN graphology@0.25.1 requires a peer of graphology-types@>=0.24.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself.
this is my second try:
FROM public.ecr.aws/spacelift/runner-terraform:latest
WORKDIR /app
USER root
RUN apk add --no-cache nodejs npm
RUN npm install --global cdktf-cli@latest
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
CMD [ "sh" ]
and this is the error when I rund cdktf deploy:
/app # cdktf deploy "*"

CDKTF requires the terraform cli to be available in the PATH, alternatively you can set the TERRAFORM_BINARY_NAME environment variable to point to the terraform binary in that Docker container.
Alternatively, you could base your Docker image on the one we use in CI for testing CDKTF and install the CDKTF CLI there. That image however, contains all languages we support, so it might be a bit bigger than yours.
Thanks @ansgarm . I tried to pull your container and install the CDKTF for testing:
docker pull hashicorp/jsii-terraform
docker run -it hashicorp/jsii-terraform /bin/sh
# sudo npm install -g cdktf-cli

Do I miss something or how can I fix the issues with your docker container?
Is it actually failing? You can disregard those warning messages. The cdktf-cli package has those peer dependencies in case you want to programmatically invoke it using TypeScript.
The bundled CLI (invoked via cdktf) contains those dependencies.
Unfortunately it does not work I used now this Dockerfile:
FROM hashicorp/jsii-terraform
WORKDIR /
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
RUN npm install -g cdktf-cli
COPY . .
Inside the container I can start the cdktf deploy however I get this error now:

why do I need to do a terraform init with terraform cdk?
I executed the command npx ts-node main.ts without encountering any errors. However, itβs possible that something else is missing besides npm install -g cdktf-cli ?

I pushed the code in me public repo where you could reproduce this issue:
I saw that you example repository used CDKTF 0.13.3 β does this also fail when using the latest version? There have been a few bugs fixed since that version that might relate to this.
