.h1 If you want to run local automation steps and not have to supply password

• Create a ansible vault secret file. From the top-level Genesis dir

ansible-vault create secret

• Make a note of the vault password. The editor will come up and add:

ansible_become_pass: yoursudopassword

• With the password you used to create the secret file, create a text file in ~/.ansbile/ called ~/.ansible/vault.txt with just the password in that file. Set permissions 700.

• IMPORTANT: If instead of using ansible-vault, you want to instead use a password-less sudo for the user running ansible locally, comment out :use_vault: true in .vagrant/cluster-inventory example:

[default]
:use_vault false

• You will need to also make sure to provide the arguments to ansible to use the vault secret

EXTRA_OPTS=--vault-password-file=~/.ansible/vault.txt

.h1 Alternative -- install passlib locally

Either in a python virtualenv or sudo:

pip install passlib
