Work On Your Site

Requirements

To use the ansible-vault tool, the full ansible libraries and binaries are not needed. You can install ansible in your prefered way, but package ansible-core is enough. If you do not wish to install ansible anywhere, remember it is already installed on the Jenkins VM so you can use it from there.

apt install ansible-core

Work on your changes

Before you start working on your changes, switch to your branch using git switch <site_name>.

Edit the core.yaml file using the password you created in the toolkit installer step using the following command:

ansible-vault edit <site_name>/core.yaml --vault-password-file=path/to/password.txt

where:

• <site_name>/core.yaml is the path to the file you want to encrypt.
• --vault-password-file=path/to/password.txt is the path containing the password.

Edit the contents of the core.yaml file.

Save the changes.

Submit your changes

Once you're happy with your changes, stage them using:

git add .

Commit your changes using:

git commit -m "Your commit message"

Push your changes to the repository using:

git push

The branch must include the directory with the same branch name and with the core.yaml file.
