env

Ansible role for env

This role was prepared and tested for Ubuntu 16.04.

Installation

$ ansible-galaxy install iroquoisorg.env

Usage

Environment variables

To set global environment variables, use env_vars variable in a following way:

env_vars:
    VARIABLE: 'value'
    OTHER_VARIABLE: 'some_value'

This role will update variables' value if necessary.

Pam environment variables - .pam_environment

In case you want to narrow down visibility of your environment variables to only one user (for example: www-data) and not expose them to everyone use env_pam_users option to set it. Read more: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#A.2BAH4-.2F.pam_environment

env_pam_users:
  - { name: "www-data", "template": "pam-environment.www-data.j2" }

Or for multiple users:

env_pam_users:
  - { name: "www-data", "template": "pam-environment.www-data.j2" }
  - { name: "test-user", "template": "pam-environment.test-user.j2" }

Place environment variables in a pam-env file located in your templates folder. They get overwritten with every deploy.
