Hi, thanks!
I'll try to add some instructions in a week or two(vacation) On Fri, 21 Jul 2017 at 21:57, Brian Long notifications@github.com wrote:
Hi @jhaals https://github.com/jhaals , great plugin!
Would you mind adding some content to the README describing the install process?

Cool, I appreciate it 😄 👍 Looking forward to it.
I just figured out one of the many installation options and wanted to propose a "hello world" solution.
1) Create an ansible.cfg file next to a given playbook (e.g. print-secret.yml) :
$ cat ansible.cfg
[defaults]
lookup_plugins = ./lookup_plugins
2) Create a folder to hold your lookup plugins:
$ mkdir lookup_plugins/
3) Clone this plugin into the directory
$ cd lookup_plugins/
$ git clone https://github.com/jhaals/ansible-vault.git
4) Use the plugin.
Here's an example playbook:
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: False
tasks:
- name: Get a secret from Vault
debug: msg="{{ lookup('vault', 'secret/digitalocean-api-key', 'value') }}"
Run it as normal: ansible-playbook print-secret.yml
, and you'll get the following output:
[WARNING]: Host file not found: /etc/ansible/hosts
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available
PLAY [localhost] ***************************************************************
TASK [Get a secret from Vault] *************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "7872q4cfff396de2c1x7d052bfec4b0d4"
}
PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
Truthfully, my opinion is that Ansible itself doesn't explain plugin installation very well. For instance, I think such a description should be more obvious on this page: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_configuration.html
