.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBAnsible\fR is an extra\-simple tool/framework/API for doing \*(Aqremote things\*(Aq over SSH\&.
.sp
Use ansible\-pull to set up a remote copy of ansible on each managed node, each set to run via cron and update playbook source via a source repository\&. This inverts the default \fBpush\fR architecture of ansible into a \fBpull\fR architecture, which has near\-limitless scaling potential\&.
.sp
The setup playbook can be tuned to change the cron frequency, logging locations, and parameters to ansible\-pull\&.
.sp
This is useful both for extreme scale\-out as well as periodic remediation\&. Usage of the \fIfetch\fR module to retrieve logs from ansible\-pull runs would be an excellent way to gather and analyze remote logs from ansible\-pull\&.

INVENTORY
---------
Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory.
This can be an ini-like file, a script, directory or a list.
The ini syntax is one host per line. Groups headers are allowed and
are included on their own line, enclosed in square brackets that start the line.
Ranges of hosts are also supported. For more information and
additional options, see the documentation on http://docs.ansible.com/.
ENVIRONMENT
-----------
The following environment variables may be specified.
ANSIBLE_INVENTORY -- Override the default ansible inventory file
ANSIBLE_LIBRARY -- Override the default ansible module library path
ANSIBLE_CONFIG -- Override the default ansible config file
Many more are available for most options in ansible.cfg
FILES
-----
/etc/ansible/hosts -- Default inventory file
/usr/share/ansible/ -- Default module library
/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg -- Config file, used if present

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

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

.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
\fB$ ansible\-vault rekey [options] FILE_1 [FILE_2, \&..., FILE_N]\fR
.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
\fB$ ansible\-vault encrypt [options] FILE_1 [FILE_2, \&..., FILE_N]\fR
.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\&.
.sp
Starting with version 2\&.0, the \fBencrypt\fR command accepts an \fB\-\-output FILENAME\fR option to determine where encrypted output is stored\&. With this option, input is read from the (at most one) filename given on the command line; if no input file is given, input is read from stdin\&. Either the input or the output file may be given as \fI\-\fR for stdin and stdout respectively\&. If neither input nor output file is given, the command acts as a filter, reading plaintext from stdin and writing it to stdout\&.
.sp
Thus any of the following invocations can be used:
.sp
\fB$ ansible\-vault encrypt\fR
.sp
\fB$ ansible\-vault encrypt \-\-output OUTFILE\fR
.sp
\fB$ ansible\-vault encrypt INFILE \-\-output OUTFILE\fR
.sp
\fB$ echo secret|ansible\-vault encrypt \-\-output OUTFILE\fR
.sp
Reading from stdin and writing only encrypted output is a good way to prevent sensitive data from ever hitting disk (either interactively or from a script)\&.
.SH "DECRYPT"
.sp
\fB$ ansible\-vault decrypt [options] FILE_1 [FILE_2, \&..., FILE_N]\fR
.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\&.
.sp
As with \fBencrypt\fR, the \fBdecrypt\fR subcommand also accepts the \fB\-\-output FILENAME\fR option to specify where plaintext output is stored, and stdin/stdout is handled as described above\&.

Ansible stores the hosts it can potentially operate on in an inventory
file. The syntax is one host per line. Groups headers are allowed and

This can be an ini-like file, a script, directory or a list.
The ini syntax is one host per line. Groups headers are allowed and

Ranges of hosts are also supported. For more information and
