.SH "NAME"
|
||
|
|
ansible-vault \- manage encrypted YAML data\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
ansible\-vault [create|decrypt|edit|encrypt|rekey] [\-\-help] [options] file_name
|
||
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
\fBansible\-vault\fR can encrypt any structured data file used by Ansible\&. This can include \fBgroup_vars/\fR or \fBhost_vars/\fR inventory variables, variables loaded by \fBinclude_vars\fR or \fBvars_files\fR, or variable files passed on the ansible\-playbook command line with \fB\-e @file\&.yml\fR or \fB\-e @file\&.json\fR\&. Role variables and defaults are also included!
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Because Ansible tasks, handlers, and so on are also data, these can also be encrypted with vault\&. If you\(cqd like to not betray what variables you are even using, you can go as far to keep an individual task file entirely encrypted\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "COMMON OPTIONS"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The following options are available to all sub\-commands:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-\-vault\-password\-file=\fR\fIFILE\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
A file containing the vault password to be used during the encryption/decryption steps\&. Be sure to keep this file secured if it is used\&.
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
Show a help message related to the given sub\-command\&.
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fB\-\-debug\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
Enable debugging output for troubleshooting\&.
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.SH "CREATE"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
\fB$ ansible\-vault create [options] FILE\fR
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The \fBcreate\fR sub\-command is used to initialize a new encrypted file\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
First you will be prompted for a password\&. The password used with vault currently must be the same for all files you wish to use together at the same time\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
After providing a password, the tool will launch whatever editor you have defined with $EDITOR, and defaults to vim\&. Once you are done with the editor session, the file will be saved as encrypted data\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The default cipher is AES (which is shared\-secret based)\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "EDIT"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
\fB$ ansible\-vault edit [options] FILE\fR
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The \fBedit\fR sub\-command is used to modify a file which was previously encrypted using ansible\-vault\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
This command will decrypt the file to a temporary file and allow you to edit the file, saving it back when done and removing the temporary file\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "REKEY"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
*$ ansible\-vault rekey [options] FILE_1 [FILE_2, \&..., FILE_N]
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The \fBrekey\fR command is used to change the password on a vault\-encrypted files\&. This command can update multiple files at once, and will prompt for both the old and new passwords before modifying any data\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "ENCRYPT"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
*$ ansible\-vault encrypt [options] FILE_1 [FILE_2, \&..., FILE_N]
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The \fBencrypt\fR sub\-command is used to encrypt pre\-existing data files\&. As with the \fBrekey\fR command, you can specify multiple files in one command\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "DECRYPT"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
*$ ansible\-vault decrypt [options] FILE_1 [FILE_2, \&..., FILE_N]
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
The \fBdecrypt\fR sub\-command is used to remove all encryption from data files\&. The files will be stored as plain\-text YAML once again, so be sure that you do not run this command on data files with active passwords or other sensitive data\&. In most cases, users will want to use the \fBedit\fR sub\-command to modify the files securely\&.
