Fish Wrappers

Local secrets are stored in 1Password, which can be accessed via the 1Password CLI (op). To make this not super clumsy, a handful of Fish functions wrap the ansible commands to hid all of this. Additionally, any password fields (that are not called password, as that is reserved for the Vault Passphrase) are copied as enviroment variables.

function ansible-playbook
    ansible-macos-hacks

    # Set EnvVars for Ansible
    set -x NETBOX_TOKEN $(op read "op://Infra/Ansible/NETBOX_TOKEN")
    
    command ansible-playbook $argv --vault-id "op://Infra/Ansible/[email protected]"
    
    # Clean up environment variables
    set -e NETBOX_TOKEN
end


function ansible-vault
    ansible-macos-hacks

    command ansible-vault $argv --vault-id "op://Infra/Ansible/[email protected]"
end

function ansible-inventory
    ansible-macos-hacks

    # Set EnvVars for Ansible
    set -x NETBOX_TOKEN $(op read "op://Infra/Ansible/NETBOX_TOKEN")
    
    command ansible-inventory $argv --vault-id "op://Infra/Ansible/[email protected]"
    
    # Clean up environment variables
