I'm trying to understand how to encrypt single variables with vault. First I encrypt the string with ansible-vault encrypt_string -n -p
, then I write the output into my playbook. When I execute the playbook it says that the decrypted string isn't JSON serializable.
Encrypted string: "inline_name"
I also tried it with inline_name
and inlinename
, every time with the same result.
My playbook:
---
- name: Build System
hosts: dev
tasks:
- name: Create
mysql_db:
state: present
name: !vault |
$ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256
