拉取 Terraform docker 容器内的私有模块

Question

To run my Terraform I have a docker-compose setup that pulls the hashcorp/terraform:light image and then builds my infrastructure.

I recently introduced a private module which sits in my private Github repo. It works fine when I run terraform get on my machine but within the Docker compose set up I get the following error:

Could not download module "privateModule" (privateModule.tf:1) source code from
"git@github.com:sum/private.go.deploy.git": error downloading
'ssh://git@github.com/sum/private.go.deploy.git': /usr/bin/git exited with
128: Cloning into '.terraform/modules/privateModule'...
Warning: Permanently added 'github.com,140.82.121.3' (RSA) to the list of
known hosts.
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I am attempting to pass my SSH keys to the container so it can pull the private Github repo but it doesn't seem to do anything.

version: '3.4'

services:
  terraform:
    image: hashicorp/terraform:light
    volumes:
      - .:/terraform
      - ~/.ssh:/.ssh
    working_dir: /terraform
    environment:
      - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
      - AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}
      - AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=${AWS_SESSION_TOKEN}

The command in my Makefile is:

tf-init:
    docker-compose run --rm terraform init

Is there a possible way to allow my container to pull the private dependency from Git for use with Terraform?

The ssh folder wasn't being mounted into the correct place.

By mounting it into root/.ssh it fixed my issue and I can successfully download private Terraform modules!

version: '3.4'

services:
  terraform:
    image: hashicorp/terraform:light
    volumes:
      - .:/terraform
      - ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh
    working_dir: /terraform
    environment:
      - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
      - AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}
      - AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=${AWS_SESSION_TOKEN}
