Automation

Hi everyone.

If I have a variable file that is encrypted via Ansible Vault, I have to ask Ansible to prompt me to enter the  Vault password while running the Ansible playbook as follows:

ansible-playbook my_pb.yml --ask-vault-pass      

If I have to enter the password manually, how do I set up a cron job that runs this Ansible playbook without my intervention?

Thanks,

Deepak

use --vault-password-file instead.
