Ansible Role: EnvFiles

This role helps create .env files easily.

Requirements

No special requirements needed.

Role Variables

Here are the default settings for one ENV file:

envfile_path_default: /etc/environment
envfile_template_src_default: env.j2
envfile_owner_default: root
envfile_group_default: root
envfile_mode_default: 600
envfile_has_secrets_default: false
envfile_config_default: {}

This creates a basic structure for the ENV file:

_envfile_default:
  path: "{{ envfile_path_default }}"
  template_src: "{{ envfile_template_src_default }}"
  owner: "{{ envfile_owner_default }}"
  group: "{{ envfile_group_default }}"
  mode: "{{ envfile_mode_default }}"
  has_secrets: "{{ envfile_has_secrets_default }}"
  config: "{{ envfile_config_default }}"

You can pass a list of these structures:

envfiles_list:
  - "{{ _envfile_default }}"

You can also define multiple ENV files like this:

envfile1:
  path: /etc/env1
  config:
    key1: value1
    key2: value2

envfile2:
  path: /etc/env2
  config:
    key3: value3
    key4: value4

envfiles_list:
  - "{{ _envfile_default | combine(envfile1, recursive=true) }}"
  - "{{ _envfile_default | combine(envfile2, recursive=true) }}"

Dependencies

No dependencies required.
