docker_secret - Manage docker secrets.
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- Create and remove Docker secrets in a Swarm environment. Similar to
docker secret create
anddocker 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
force
option is set. - Updates to secrets are performed by removing the secret and creating it again.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- docker-py >= 2.1.0
- Docker API >= 1.25
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
api_version | Default:
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.
aliases: docker_api_version |
cacert_path | Default:
None
|
Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file.
aliases: tls_ca_cert |
cert_path | Default:
None
|
Path to the client's TLS certificate file.
aliases: tls_client_cert |
data |
String. The value of the secret. Required when state is present .
|
|
docker_host | Default:
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 | Default:
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.
|
key_path | Default:
None
|
Path to the client's TLS key file.
aliases: tls_client_key |
labels |
A map of key:value meta data, where both the key and value are expected to be a string.
If new meta data is provided, or existing meta data is modified, the secret will be updated by removing it and creating it again.
|
|
name
required
|
The name of the secret.
|
|
ssl_version | Default:
1.0
|
Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by docker-py, currently 1.0.
|
state |
|
Set to present , if the secret should exist, and absent , if it should not.
|
timeout | Default:
60
|
The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API.
|
tls | Default:
no
|
Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server.
|
tls_hostname | Default:
localhost
|
When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server.
|
tls_verify | Default:
no
|
Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server.

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.
Examples
- name: Create secret foo
docker_secret:
name: foo
data: Hello World!
state: present
- name: Change the secret data
docker_secret:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: baz
one: '1'
state: present
- name: Add a new label
docker_secret:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: baz
one: '1'
# Adding a new label will cause a remove/create of the secret
two: '2'
state: present
- name: No change
docker_secret:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: baz
one: '1'
# Even though 'two' is missing, there is no change to the existing secret
state: present
- name: Update an existing label
docker_secret:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: monkey # Changing a label will cause a remove/create of the secret
one: '1'
state: present
- name: Force the removal/creation of the secret
docker_secret:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
force: yes
state: present
- name: Remove secret foo
docker_secret:
name: foo
state: absent
