What the repository hosts

This repository is home to the metadata that drives the provider and module registry for OpenTofu, and it contains the applications used to manage version bumping, validation, and API generation for the registry hosted at registry.opentofu.org. The README thanks Cloudflare for sponsoring a Business plan that hosts the registry, so the infrastructure behind the public service is partly supported by that sponsorship.

Adding to the registry

To add a provider, module, or GPG signing key, contributors open an issue using one of the provided templates. The README stresses that submissions must go through the GitHub issue form UI, because the automated validation and processing pipeline depends on the structured data only that form provides. Direct pull requests that add registry data are not processed and are closed.

Policies and contributions

Published provider and module versions are treated as immutable and are generally not removed, with a version immutability policy describing the narrow exceptions where removal may be considered. A separate issue template handles version removal requests that meet that bar. Engineers who want to change the codebase itself are pointed to CONTRIBUTING.md before opening pull requests.

Editorial conclusion

The registry is hosted with support from Cloudflare and accepts new provider and module entries through dedicated GitHub issue templates.
