## Vault
|
||||
|
||||
Vaults are a great way to store secrets in your source code. Never store insecure secrets in a file other then for quick testing. Even then, don't put unencrypted secrets in public locations.

### Config changes
|
||||
|
||||
Before you use ansible-value you will want to update your ansible.cfg file. Uncomment ```#vault_password_file``` and update it to where you will store your secret file. This is a file that should be added to ```.gitignore``` so that the password is stored safely. For reference I use .ansible_vault as my file and you can see my .gitignore file to see how I ignore it.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to use Vault
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you adjusted your ansible.cfg before doing this. That password is how vault decrypts values.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo 'secret' > .ansible_vault
|
||||
ansible-value encrypt_string 'sshPassword'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With the value that was exported you would add that to the playbook that needs to be able to decrypt the secret to use it.
|
||||
Something to note. When the password that is stored in .ansible_vault that is defined in ansible.cfg changes, the vault might start to fail to decrypt strings. I have not made it that far yet with vault to confirm how much this is true.
|
||||
|
||||
## Roles
|
||||
|
||||
Roles are very important when it comes to Ansible. If you need to define how say pip handles actions you would build a role for it. With that role you can define how pip would work. Do not treat roles as your playbook. They are meant to be used as a guide and the playbook passes variables to the role to tell it how something should be configured.
