How to use variables in a Jinja2 filter?

[David Li]

Hi,

I am trying to create an user with password hash filter like this:

- name: Create a user

  user: 

     name: abc

     group: xyz

     password: {{ 'mypass'|password_hash('sha256', 'mysalt') }}

This works!

Now I would like to use variables in place of 'mypass' and 'mysault' that are defined in vars/main.yml (encrypted by vault)

---

password: 'mypass'

password_sault: 'mysault'

so the playbook would look like this:

- name: Create a user

  user: 

     name: abc

     group: xyz

     password: {{ '{{password}}'|password_hash('sha256', '{{password_sault}}') }}

However this doesn't really work. What's the right way to do this?

Thanks.

David

Curly brackets doesn't stack, just use the variable directly without quotes.

password: "{{ password | password_hash('sha256', password_sault) }}"
