docker_secret - Manage docker secrets.
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- Create and remove Docker secrets in a Swarm environment. Similar to 
docker secret createanddocker secret rm. - Adds to the metadata of new secrets ‘ansible_key’, an encrypted hash representation of the data, which is then used
 - in future runs to test if a secret has changed.
 - If ‘ansible_key is not present, then a secret will not be updated unless the 
forceoption is set. - Updates to secrets are performed by removing the secret and creating it again.
 
Requirements (on host that executes module)
- docker-py >= 2.1.0
 - Docker API >= 1.25

| api_version | 
      no | default provided by docker-py | 
        
        The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by docker-py.

         | 
     |
| cacert_path | 
      no | 
        
        Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file.
        
       
        aliases: tls_ca_cert
         | 
     ||
| cert_path | 
      no | 
        
        Path to the client's TLS certificate file.

     ||
| data | 
      no |

        | 
     ||
| docker_host | 
      no | unix://var/run/docker.sock | 
        
        The URL or Unix socket path used to connect to the Docker API. To connect to a remote host, provide the TCP connection string. For example, 'tcp://192.0.2.23:2376'. If TLS is used to encrypt the connection, the module will automatically replace 'tcp' in the connection URL with 'https'.
        
       
        aliases: docker_url
         | 
     |
| force | 
      no | 
        
        Boolean. Use with state  
       present to always remove and recreate an existing secret.
       
        If true, an existing secret will be replaced, even if it has not changed.

        If new meta data is provided, or existing meta data is modified, the secret will be updated by removing it and creating it again.
         | 
     ||

Notes
Note
- Connect to the Docker daemon by providing parameters with each task or by defining environment variables. You can define DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME, DOCKER_API_VERSION, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, DOCKER_SSL_VERSION, DOCKER_TLS, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY and DOCKER_TIMEOUT. If you are using docker machine, run the script shipped with the product that sets up the environment. It will set these variables for you. See https://docker-py.readthedocs.org/en/stable/machine/ for more details.
