Ansible Vault Password File Not Being Found about ansible-silo HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the report. We'll add support for the ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE env var in the next version. The var is forwarded to the container, but the password file is not available inside.

In the meantime you can create a file ~/.ansible-silo or /etc/ansible/ansible-silo/ansible-silo with the following content:

silo_forward_vault_password_file() {
  local vault_password_dir return=""
  if [[ ! -z "${ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE}" ]]; then
    vault_password_dir="$(dirname "${ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE}")"
    return+="--volume \"${vault_password_dir}\":\"/tmp/${vault_password_dir}:ro\" "
    return+="--env ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE='/tmp/${ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE}'"
    echo "${return}"
  fi
}

This will mount the location of your password file as a volume into the container and rewrites ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE to point to that mounted directory.

You can read here about how Silo extensions like this work.

Let me know if you have further issues with this.

Github closed this automatically due to #43. Reopening until next version is out.

Yeah, adding that file to my home directory solved the problem. Thanks again for the quick resolution.

Finally a new Silo release is out which includes above snippet. When using Silo v2.0.4 you can remove the ~/.ansible-silo file.
