The goal of this script is to reconfigure my workstation, this includes having my ssh keys ready to be used. I order to have the less action to do, I've just setup the script to copy/paste my ssh key in the right directory.

As my keys will be stored outside my computer for backup, I wanted to have them securely stored. That's why I will be using the following command to encrypt them.

Ansible script will perform, with a given password, the decription and the movement of the key to the ssh folder.

Each keys need to be encrypt with this command.

ansible-vault encrypt ssh-key-name
