Provide the Vault's password:
|
||||
|
||||
- By using command line options.<br/>
|
||||
Make ansible ask for it using `‑‑ask‑vault‑pass`, or provide a file containing it with `--vault-password-file`.
|
||||
- By using the `ansible.cfg` file to either always prompt for the password, or to specify the default location of the
|
||||
password file:
|
||||
Make ansible ask for it using `‑‑ask‑vault‑pass`, or provide a file containing it with `--vault-password-file`:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
ansible … --ask-vault-pass
|
||||
ansible-playbook … --vault-password-file 'password_file.txt'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- By exporting the `ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD` or `ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE` environment variables to specify the
|
||||
password itself or the location of the password file, respectively:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE='password_file.txt' ansible …
|
||||
export ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD='abraKadabra' ; ansible-playbook …
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- By using the `ansible.cfg` config file to either always prompt for the password, or to specify the default location of
|
||||
the password file:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
[defaults]
|
||||
vault_password_file = password_file.txt
|
||||
; ask_vault_pass = True
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- By exporting the `ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE` environment variable to specify the location of the password file.
|
||||
Should the password file be executable, Ansible will execute it and use its output as the password for Vault.<br/>
|
||||
This works well to integrate with CLI-capable password managers.
|
||||
|
||||
Vault passwords can be any string, and there is currently no special command to create one.<br/>
|
||||
One must provide the/a Vault password **every time one encrypts and/or decrypts data** with Vault.<br/>
