Question: How do you manage the tfstate?
Question
I have a git repository, where I manage all my servers and I want to have a state shared across semaphore and team members, who could possibly make a tofu apply manually. How do you share the tfstate? Do you commit it to the git repository?

So I just saw this, is this the preferred way to do it: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/state/remote
Hi @bykof I already started implementing backend for Terraform. It will be available soon.
I was considering Semaphore UI, just to check-out what is can do. But I notice Christian Lempa also mentioned this issue with state files (for Terraform) not being persistent.
I don't want to depend again on external services hosted by hashicorp. So what about just creating a persistent volume or volume mount for people who run Semaphore UI using Docker? That shouldn't be hard, right? You just let the user store this file outside the docker container basically.
@melroy89 you could use state encryption to commit the encrypted file to Git and then env variables reseal the encrypted state. https://opentofu.org/docs/language/state/encryption/

Nice, I see. That could also be a good alternative. I just wanted to highlight one notice from that webpage, just so people don't miss it:
Once your data is encrypted, do not rename key providers and methods in your configuration! The encrypted data stored in the backend contains metadata related to their specific names.

Any progress on this in upcoming releases?
@TravAJohn Terraform HTTP backend will be in week in PRO version.
@fiftin Thank you for the update! Will it also be available in the community version or exclusive to PRO?
