The easiest way to manage your Terraform versions is the tfswitch tool. You can install it from here: tfswitch

Usage

    |--⫸  tfswitch                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
    Use the arrow keys to navigate: ↓ ↑ → ← 
    ? Select Terraform version: 
      ▸ 0.11.12 *recent
        0.11.13 *recent
        0.11.14 *recent
        0.12.19
    ↓   0.12.18

running all terraform commands in container hashicorp/terraform:0.11.14, that's what I am doing currently for old project. so it has no chance to upgrade terraform version any more in container.

TERRAFORM_IMAGE=hashicorp/terraform:0.11.14
TERRAFORM_CMD="docker run -ti --rm -w /app -v ${HOME}/.aws:/root/.aws -v ${HOME}/.ssh:/root/.ssh -v `pwd`:/app -w /app ${TERRAFORM_IMAGE}"
${TERRAFORM_CMD} init
${TERRAFORM_CMD} plan

Second, make sure you limit the terraform version in your codes. If not, you have the risk to run terraform with higher version (>0.12) and get tfstate file upgraded directly. It will be hard to roll back, unless you enable the version control when save *tfstate files.

terraform {
  required_version = "<= 0.11.14"
}
