Ansible vault example

Here is how to edit a vault protected file :
|
||
|
{{< highlight sh >}}
|
||
|
ansible-vault edit hostvars/blah.yml
|
||
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is how to put a multiline entry like a private key in vault (for a simple value, just don't use a `|`):
|
||
|
|
||
|
{{< highlight yaml >}}
|
||
|
ssl_key : |
|
||
|
----- BEGIN PRIVATE KEY -----
|
||
|
blahblahblah
|
||
|
blahblahblah
|
||
|
----- END PRIVATE KEY -----
|
||
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
And here is how to use it in a task :
|
||
|
{{< highlight yaml >}}
|
||
|
- copy:
|
||
|
path: /etc/ssl/private.key
|
||
|
mode: 0400
|
||
|
content: '{{ ssl_key }}'
|
||
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
||
|
|
||
|
To run a playbook, you will need to pass the `--ask-vault` argument or to export a `ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=/home/julien/.vault_pass.txt` variable (the file needs to contain a single line with your vault password here).
