What is the best way to bootstrap Pulumi project via CLI in automated fashion (non-interactive)? I am running following script:

export PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=testtest

pulumi new gcp-typescript \
  --name 02-host-vpc \
  --description "GCP host VPC" \
  --stack stage \
  --secrets-provider passphrase \
  --yes \
  --non-interactive \
  --force

pulumi config set gcp:project "test"

This creates new project

Pulumi.yaml

and

Pulumi.stage.yaml

as required but it overwrites my

index.ts

file. Is there any way to stop that? Thanks 😉

You have an existing

index.ts

but you still need to bootstrap the project? Why is that?

Well I have a “template” project that it is being bootstrapped for each GCP project/customer so common items like admin gcp project, host VPC, etc are automatically created at the beginning. Hope it makes sense?

Yes, but you should keep the Pulumi project file (

Pulumi.yaml

) also under source control and only create a new stack non-interactively when you want to roll this out.

what you can do it to have generic__main__.py for python or index ts in your case and cp it to index.ts, that's what I do in pulumi_init script

Yes I was thinking about

cp

after bootstrapping is done. Is there a way to create a custom template? Perhaps this will be more elegant solution?

You can pass a url to

pulumi new

. The examples are here: https://github.com/pulumi/templates eg:

pulumi new <https://github.com/pulumi/templates/tree/master/kubernetes-python>

Nice - Thanks👍
