Provides modules for Ansible for various cryptographic operations.
You can find documentation for this collection on the Ansible docs site.
Please note that this collection does not support Windows targets.
Tested with the current Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12 and ansible-core 2.13 releases and the current development version of ansible-core. Ansible versions before 2.9.10 are not supported.
The exact requirements for every module are listed in the module documentation.
Most modules require a recent enough version of the Python cryptography library. See the module documentations for the minimal version supported for each module.

Before using the crypto community collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy
CLI:
ansible-galaxy collection install community.crypto
You can also include it in a requirements.yml
file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml
using the format:
collections:
- name: community.crypto

See the changelog.
We plan to regularly release minor and patch versions, whenever new features are added or bugs fixed. Our collection follows semantic versioning, so breaking changes will only happen in major releases.
Most modules will drop PyOpenSSL support in version 2.0.0 of the collection, i.e. in the next major version. We currently plan to release 2.0.0 somewhen during 2021. Around then, the supported versions of the most common distributions will contain a new enough version of cryptography
.
Once 2.0.0 has been released, bugfixes will still be backported to 1.0.0 for some time, and some features might also be backported. If we do not want to backport something ourselves because we think it is not worth the effort, backport PRs by non-maintainers are usually accepted.
In 2.0.0, the following notable features will be removed:
- PyOpenSSL backends of all modules, except
openssl_pkcs12
which does not have acryptography
backend due to lack of support of PKCS#12 functionality incryptography
. - The
assertonly
provider ofx509_certificate
will be removed.
