During creating the Bug Report I found this on github:
With the given information there I was able to get it running:
- name: keystore tasks
block:
- name: create keystore if not existing yet
shell:
cmd: "./kibana-keystore create"
chdir: "/usr/share/kibana/bin"
creates: /var/lib/kibana/kibana.keystore
- name: keystore - add elasticsearch.password
shell:
cmd: "/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-keystore add elasticsearch.password --stdin --force"
stdin: "{{ CRED_KIBANA_PW }}"
- name: keystore - add elasticsearch.username
shell:
cmd: "/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-keystore add elasticsearch.username --stdin --force"
stdin: "{{ CRED_KIBANA_USER }} "
become_user: kibana
become: yes
I had to take following 2 things into aspect:
- usage info of kibana-keystore is wrong -> using like said in linked github request works from shell.
- piping the password via echo to kibana-keystore does not not work in ansible. But it works when calling kibana-keystore directly ans configuring stdin of shell module to the needed value.
