when running tofu providers
.
This command accepts the following options:
-
-var 'NAME=VALUE'
- Sets a value for a single input variable declared in the root module of the configuration. Use this option multiple times to set more than one variable. Refer to Input Variables on the Command Line for more information. -
-var-file=FILENAME
- Sets values for potentially many input variables declared in the root module of the configuration, using definitions from a "tfvars" file. Use this option multiple times to include values from more than one file.
There are several other ways to set values for input variables in the root
module, aside from the -var
and -var-file
options. Refer to
