Synopsis ¶

Create and remove Docker secrets in a Swarm environment. Similar to docker secret create and docker 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
Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). Version 2.1.0 or newer is only available with the docker module.
Docker API >= 1.25

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_version	Default: auto	The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by docker-py. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_API_VERSION` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. aliases: docker_api_version
cacert_path		Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` is set, the file `ca.pem` from the directory specified in the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` will be used. aliases: tls_ca_cert
cert_path		Path to the client's TLS certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` is set, the file `cert.pem` from the directory specified in the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` will be used. aliases: tls_client_cert
data		String. The value of the secret. Required when state is `present`.
debug bool	Choices: no ← yes	Debug mode
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'. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_HOST` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. aliases: docker_url
force bool	Choices: no ← yes	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		Path to the client's TLS key file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` is set, the file `key.pem` from the directory specified in the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` will be used. 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		Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by ssl.py module. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_SSL_VERSION` will be used instead.
state	Choices: absent present ←	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. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TIMEOUT` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls bool	Choices: no ← yes	Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TLS` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls_hostname	Default: localhost	When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls_verify bool	Choices: no ← yes	Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

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.io/en/stable/machine/ for more details.
When connecting to Docker daemon with TLS, you might need to install additional Python packages. For the Docker SDK for Python, version 2.4 or newer, this can be done by installing docker[tls] with pip.
Note that the Docker SDK for Python only allows to specify the path to the Docker configuration for very few functions. In general, it will use $HOME/docker/config.json if the DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable is not specified, and use $DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json otherwise.

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
