d8ea041c56 docs: introduce versioned docs and migrate to fuma (#11166)
## Todos for release

- [x] Configure Env in docs project on vercel
- [x] Configure Root Path in the docs project on vercel
- [ ] Remove old CSP https://github.com/zitadel/website/pull/1592

## What we did

This pull request migrates the project documentation from the old
`docs/` directory to the new `apps/docs/` directory, introduces a new
documentation system built with Next.js and Fumadocs, and updates all
relevant references, configuration files, and documentation to reflect
this change. It also adds new configuration and ignore files for the new
documentation app, updates CI and linting to exclude the new docs from
certain checks, and revises the contributing guidelines accordingly.

**Documentation System Migration and New Docs App**

* Migrated all documentation from `docs/` to `apps/docs/`, and updated
all references in `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and other files to
point to the new location.

**Configuration and Tooling Updates**

* Updated `.github/workflows/codeql.yml`, `.golangci.yaml`, and
`.github/dependabot.yml` to properly handle the new docs app: excluded
`apps/docs` from certain checks, added npm dependency updates for the
docs app, and excluded generated content.

* Updated `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` to use the latest Go 1.25.3
version for consistency.

**Licensing and Miscellaneous**

* Added `apps/docs/` to the list of licensed directories in
`LICENSING.md`.

These changes ensure the documentation is now maintained in a modern,
scalable system and all project tooling is updated to support the new
structure.

title: ZITADEL Terraform Provider
sidebar_label: Terraform Provider
---
The [ZITADEL Terraform Provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/zitadel/zitadel/latest/docs) is a tool that allows you to manage ZITADEL resources through Terraform.
In other words, it lets you define and provision infrastructure for ZITADEL using Terraform configuration files.
This Terraform provider acts as a bridge, allowing you to manage various aspects of your ZITADEL instance directly through the [ZITADEL API](/apis/introduction), using Terraform's declarative configuration language.
It can be used to create, update, and delete ZITADEL resources, as well as to manage the relationships between those resources.
## Before you start
Make sure you create the following resources in ZITADEL and have [Terraform installed](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/terraform/install-cli):
- [A ZITADEL Instance](../start/quickstart)
- [A service user](/guides/integrate/service-users/authenticate-service-users) with [enough authorization](/guides/manage/console/managers) to manage the desired resources
## Manage ZITADEL resources through terraform
The full documentation and examples are available on the [Terraform registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/zitadel/zitadel/latest/docs).
To provide a small guide to where to start:
1. Create a folder where all the terraform files reside.
2. Configure the provider to use the right domain, port and token, with for example a `main.tf`file [as shown in the example](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/zitadel/zitadel/latest/docs).
3. Add a `zitadel_org` resource to the `main.tf` file, to create and manage a new organization in the instance, [as shown in the example](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/zitadel/zitadel/latest/docs/resources/org).
4. Add any resources to the organization in the `main.tf` file, [as example a human user](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/zitadel/zitadel/latest/docs/resources/human_user).
5. (Optional) Use Terraform in the directory with the command `terraform plan`, to see which resources would be created and how.
6. Apply the changes and start managing your resources with terraform with `terraform apply`.
7. (Optional) Delete your created resources with `terraform destroy` to clean-up.
