### Terraform vs OpenTofu

Renovate can not know if you want to use the Terraform or OpenTofu registry.
By default, Renovate uses the Terraform registry (`registry.terraform.io`) for providers and modules _without_ a registry definition.

You can override this default with your own `packageRules`, for example:

```json title="Prefer releases from OpenTofu"
{
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchDatasources": ["terraform-provider", "terraform-module"],
      "registryUrls": ["https://registry.opentofu.org"]
    }
  ]
}
```

### Supported dependencies

Renovate supports updating the Terraform dependencies listed below.
Check the tables to see where some dependencies can be hosted.

#### Modules

| Name              | Public hosting | Private hosting |
| ----------------- | :------------: | :-------------: |
| GitTags           |      yes       |       yes       |
| GithubTags        |      yes       |       yes       |
| TerraformRegistry |      yes       |       yes       |

#### Providers

Providers are deprecated in Terraform `0.13.0`.

| Name              | Public hosting | Private hosting |
| ----------------- | :------------: | :-------------: |
| TerraformRegistry |      yes       |       yes       |

#### required_providers block

Needs Terraform `>= 0.13.0`.

| Name              | Public hosting | Private hosting |
| ----------------- | :------------: | :-------------: |
| TerraformRegistry |      yes       |       yes       |

#### required_version

Renovate can update the `required_version` attribute of the Terraform block.

#### helm_release

Renovate can update the version attribute of `helm_release` resources. This applies to both helm chart repositories and [charts published in OCI registries](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/registries/).

| Name             | Public hosting | Private hosting |
| ---------------- | :------------: | :-------------: |
| chart repository |      yes       |       yes       |

#### Docker

Renovate can update image references of the Docker provider resources (`docker\_\*`).

| Name            | Public hosting | Private hosting |
| --------------- | :------------: | :-------------: |
| Docker registry |      yes       |       yes       |

#### Kubernetes

Renovate can update image references of Kubernetes provider resources (`kubernetes\_\*`).

| Name            | Public hosting | Private hosting |
| --------------- | :------------: | :-------------: |
| Docker registry |      yes       |       yes       |

#### tfe_workspaces

Renovate can update [tfe_workspaces](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/tfe/latest/docs/resources/workspace).
Renovate searches for the `terraform_version` argument.

### Range constraints

Renovate understands these Terraform range constraints:

| Terraform range      | Notes                                                       |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `>= 1.2.0`           | version `1.2.0` or newer                                    |
| `<= 1.2.0`           | version `1.2.0` or older                                    |
| `~> 1.2.0`           | any non-beta version `>= 1.2.0` and `< 1.3.0`, e.g. `1.2.X` |
| `~> 1.2`             | any non-beta version `>= 1.2.0` and `< 2.0.0`, e.g. `1.X.Y` |
| `>= 1.0.0, <= 2.0.0` | any version between `1.0.0` and `2.0.0` inclusive           |

### Disabling parts of the manager

You can use these `depTypes` for fine-grained control, for example to disable parts of the Terraform manager.

| Resource                             |               `depType`                |                                   Notes                                    |
