--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- Ansible is a template-driven multi-machine configuration management system created by Red Hat for easing the difficulty of configuring and deploying Linux, macOS, and Windows computers (though using it for Windows makes you question your sanity). It's similar to Puppet, Chef, or Salt, if you've heard of or used any of those. Ansible supports the concept of a "vault", which is a piece of text that's been encrypted and stored as ciphertext in a text file. To see the real value, you need to decrypt the vault by entering the vault's password, which displays the contents in a terminal window. The process of doing so is irritating, painful, and as hard to remember as assembling a tar command from memory, which is probably why Peter wants Kate to do it automatically. This is a pretty niche feature, and if it's implementable at all, it would probably make sense to do it in a dedicated Ansible plugin. I share your concern that decrypting the vault would inherently involve creating a save-able text buffer with the cleartext contents in it, unless Kate could display the cleartext in a read-only view whose contents was stored securely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
