Quick and dirty Setup to use Consul as Backend for Terraform.
I currently need a quick solution for Alibaba Cloud to store my state.
This is just a first test without SSL or any deep dive in security or stability.
But it works and from there we can take it futher next time ...
Run with docker-compose up and you can see the WebGUI on http://localhost:8500.

terraform {
