Difference in config.hjson with ansible

4 comments
  • vars.yml is looking for a directory and file that don't exist, and the readme doesn't mention creating them. If you set postgres_password manually, it should work.

    • Thank you for the answer. should the password be in quotes?

      postgres_password: "{{ lookup('password', 'inventory/host_vars/{{ domain }}/passwords/postgres.psk chars=ascii_letters,digits') }}" # noqa yaml[line-length]

      postgres_password: "password"

      • I'd say prefer single quotes for passwords as your password might have some special characters. Single quotes are raw strings, so nothing is escaped.

    • i'm still having issues I'm afraid. I do have a password in my local inventory/host_vars/{{ domain }}/passwords/postgres.psk and it does pass through to both POSTGRES_PASSWORD and PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY in docker - compose.yml on the server.

      docker compose logs show:
