Ansible Community Crypto Collection

Build Status EOL CI Codecov

Provides modules for Ansible for various cryptographic operations.

You can find documentation for this collection on the Ansible docs site.

Please note that this collection does not support Windows targets.

Code of Conduct

We follow Ansible Code of Conduct in all our interactions within this project.

If you encounter abusive behavior violating the Ansible Code of Conduct, please refer to the policy violations section of the Code of Conduct for information on how to raise a complaint.

Communication

  • Join the Ansible forum:

    • Get Help: get help or help others. Please add appropriate tags if you start new discussions, for example the crypto or acme tags.
    • Posts tagged with 'crypto': subscribe to participate in cryptography related conversations.
    • Posts tagged with 'acme': subscribe to participate in ACME (RFC 8555) related conversations.
    • Social Spaces: gather and interact with fellow enthusiasts.
    • News & Announcements: track project-wide announcements including social events.
  • The Ansible Bullhorn newsletter: used to announce releases and important changes.

For more information about communication, see the Ansible communication guide.

Tested with Ansible

Tested with the current Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12, ansible-core 2.13, ansible-core 2.14, ansible-core 2.15, ansible-core 2.16, ansible-core-2.17, and ansible-core 2.18 releases and the current development version of ansible-core. Ansible versions before 2.9.10 are not supported.

External requirements

The exact requirements for every module are listed in the module documentation.

Most modules require a recent enough version of the Python cryptography library. See the module documentations for the minimal version supported for each module.

Collection Documentation

Browsing the latest collection documentation will show docs for the latest version released in the Ansible package, not the latest version of the collection released on Galaxy.

Browsing the devel collection documentation shows docs for the latest version released on Galaxy.

We also separately publish latest commit collection documentation which shows docs for the latest commit in the main branch.

If you use the Ansible package and do not update collections independently, use latest. If you install or update this collection directly from Galaxy, use devel. If you are looking to contribute, use latest commit.

Using this collection

Before using the crypto community collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.crypto

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:

collections:
- name: community.crypto

See Ansible Using collections for more details.

Contributing to this collection

If you want to clone this repositority (or a fork of it) to improve it, you can proceed as follows:

  1. Create a directory ansible_collections/community;
  2. In there, checkout this repository (or a fork) as crypto;
  3. Add the directory containing ansible_collections to your ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATH.

See Ansible's dev guide for more information.

Release notes

See the changelog.

Roadmap

We plan to regularly release minor and patch versions, whenever new features are added or bugs fixed. Our collection follows semantic versioning, so breaking changes will only happen in major releases.

Most modules will drop PyOpenSSL support in version 2.0.0 of the collection, i.e. in the next major version. We currently plan to release 2.0.0 somewhen during 2021. Around then, the supported versions of the most common distributions will contain a new enough version of cryptography.

Once 2.0.0 has been released, bugfixes will still be backported to 1.0.0 for some time, and some features might also be backported. If we do not want to backport something ourselves because we think it is not worth the effort, backport PRs by non-maintainers are usually accepted.

In 2.0.0, the following notable features will be removed:

  • PyOpenSSL backends of all modules, except openssl_pkcs12 which does not have a cryptography backend due to lack of support of PKCS#12 functionality in cryptography.
  • The assertonly provider of x509_certificate will be removed.
