I have the following task as part of a playbook which needs to be run on
localhost. This tasks is for checking if the ansible host is able to ssh to
remote server.
- name: Verify-User
local_action: shell ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey -o
StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i {{ role_path }}/files/authorized_keys.ansible -o
ConnectTimeout=10 {{ createuser }}@{{ node }} "echo success"
register: user_enabled
ignore_errors: yes
This task is called from a playbook using the following command. I need the
extra vars to connect to server if ssh fails and create a new ansible user.
ansible-playbook -i "1.0.0.0," setup-host.yml --extra-vars "node=1.0.0.0,
ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_user=root ansible_ssh_pass=test"
Running the playbook gives,
hosts": {
"1.0.0.0": {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh:
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}
}
If i remove ansible_connection=ssh from the command, this gives a different
error, but atleast it wasnt trying to ssh.
My question is
- why is local_action trying to ssh? If its due to
ansible_connection=ssh, is there a way this can be overriden for a specific
task? "connection: local" dint work.
- Shouldnt the hosts for this tasks say "localhost" ? Why is it showing
the hosts as the ip of remote server. Does this mean local_action did not
take effect?
Thanks.
