# Fritzlab Ansible Playbooks

---

### Proxmox Hosts 

We manage Proxmox hosts via Ansible.
The following playbook will set the Proxmox settings for all hosts in the inventory file.

```bash
$ ansible-playbook --vault-password-file vault-password compute/playbook-host-proxmox.yaml -i compute/inventory-host-proxmox.yaml
```

### Dell iDRAC

We manage Dell iDRAC settings via Ansible (via Redfish API).
The following playbook will set the iDRAC settings for all hosts in the inventory file.

```bash
$ ansible-playbook --vault-password-file vault-password compute/playbook-machine-idrac.yaml -i compute/inventory-machine-idrac.yaml
```

### Secrets 

We use ansible-vault to encrypt secrets. 
The vault password is assumed to be available in a file called `vault-password`. 
This password file is not stored in the repository and must be created by the user.
It is stored in 1Password under the name `Ansible Vault Password`.

#### Add new secret into an inventory file
Here is how to encrypt a new secret with ansible-vault:

```bash
$ ansible-vault encrypt_string --vault-password-file vault-password <super-secret-text>
!vault |
          $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
          64383837303638393966666536323131376366613531613966633532633439343961663934373263

```
The result is a string that can be used in a playbook. 

```yaml
dell_machines:
  hosts:
    host001:
      idrac_password: !vault |
          $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
