Secret Management with Ansible Vault and docker-compose

Secret management with docker-compose doesn't have to be an enigma. This video shows how I use Ansible and Ansible Vault in conjunction with docker-compose to keep my secrets safe and encrypted whilst still being able to push my repos to Github publicly.

Just getting into Ansible. Originally found out about this when I was in the search of automation&monitoring of certificate&key distribution via SCP. Stumbled upon Ansible, fell down the rabbit hole of actually setting this up securely. As soon as I get this thing rolling, I can say goodbye to my cronjobs and badly crafted service tasks!

Great stuff. Very much appreciated. If you wanted to, you could do several more videos explaining various parts of this for folks like me who have less experience with portions of this. I’ve never heard you mention some of them on self-hosted. Like Just. Pretty amazing.

@ktzsystems Жыл бұрын

Just is new to me as well, rest assured when I'm a bit deeper into it I'll make a video about it. It's replaced make completely for me as my infrastructure command wrapper.

@JonBrookes 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for this, made me think of a word oft used, what is it - ah yes, awesome. Also, your building infra here with Ansible, as well it is intended but in my little head I had a thought. It could also be other things, like a code checkout. So this could also be a 'just' ( I like that pattern your using ) checkout some git repository or other and create within it a bunch of files not controlled at all by git, such as `.env` files and the like, making a complete separation between publicly controlled application files and the credential files that are used to make them work. The Ansible vault could even be held in a separate, privately hosted Git, whilst the public opensource git code remains, well public. But I get what your saying about the encryption of ansible vault and potential for various agencies out there with their ability to maybe at some time be able to read them. But like the Borg, we can also 'rotate shields' ( change passwords regularly ) 😃

@@ktzsystems learning about things like just (or even being prompted to check out vscode again) is one way that videos like this are superior to written content. It's fun to see how everything's coming together in a complete experience, even if it is just one person's experience.

I prefer inline vault vscode plugin... The files remain human readable with context. Also love the hash merging option in Ansible so that you can define and override complex variable objects vs ugly flat variables. I use YAML inventory and store most of my non-default host/group vars there as it's much easier to manage in one central place.

Alex! What's your stance on docker-compose over the community.docker Ansible modules? If you're in the ecosystem, why the extra steps?

@ktzsystems Жыл бұрын

Portability and compatibility. When I first wrote this Ansible role the community docker module was in its infancy and lacked a lot of the dials I needed to fully customise my plays as required. Over the years I've really come to value the fact that all my role really does is create a .yaml file and from there I use standard compose tooling to manage the containers on the host.

Great video - re:Ansible stuff, I heard the words you were saying, but since I got stuck in Chapter 2 of Jeff Geerling's book when he started using Vagrant & VirtualBox, all I could do is nod and say "Get me summa that" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It'd be great if you could translate his book into Debian and Proxmox, while keeping the Vagrant dialect ;) Cheers!

@wznvwyz553 5 ай бұрын

i like this video. i have a question. despite using the ansible-vault, isn't it an insecure way to write the decrypted secrets directly into the generated docker-compose file ? when a attacker exploits a machine and takes over. its easy to obtaine the secrets, docker inspect etc.

@ktzsystems 5 ай бұрын

If the attacker has access to your box itself it’s probably only a small concern in the grand scheme.
