(go for defaults) and then get content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub in your copypastebuffer

On 'clients' edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to

PermitRootLogin without-password

and restart sshd

Edit/create ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys and add:

from="ip.of.ansible.server" <paste public key here>

Scripts/playbooks

 include_vars with "distro-Template:Ansible distro name.yml"

Escape single quote

Syntax Error while loading YAML. did not find expected key

Check indentation


 

Newlines in output

instead of all those '\n':

In ansible.cfg:

stdout_callback = yaml

Ad-hoc commands

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_adhoc.html

check python code

ansible-test sanity --test pep8 mycode.py

Command/shell output on single line

ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=oneline ansible-playbook foo.yml

Storing passwords

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/vault.html

Show all host variables

ansible -m setup <hostname>

Show all OS/versions

ansible all -m setup -a "filter=ansible_distribution*"

Syntax highlighting for ansible

Drop the files in ~/vim/bundle and in .vimrc:

call pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()

Or maybe better:

Retry

--limit @/home/ansible/ssh.retry

ERROR! this task 'import_playbook' has extra params

meh

ansible somehost -m setup
ansible somehost -m ansible.builtin.setup
