Getting started with Ansible 04 - Running ad-hoc Commands

[@philipsheaff]

This is the best beginner Ansible tutorial on the Internet.

[@torgeirleirbakken896]

I know this is an old Ansible series, but I'm loving it so far. Thanks so much for great content :-)

[@DanCalloway]

Great video series, Jay. The video, however, shows Part 3 rather than 4 at or around 00:34. Thought you may wish to correct. Thanks.

[@ArbaazHussain17]

You're one of the very few people who actually knows how to teach a certain topic. Thank you. If you can upload advance topics of ansible too it will be helpful.

[@mathewkargarzadeh3158]

one of the best Ansible Tutorial I have seen so far. I love the pace of teaching and material. my friend my hat off to you. much appreciated. Thanks again !!. Mat

[@tomsbergman]

This course is well very well done. I like the pace and pausing to jump over to my Mac and see this in action is excellent. You are giving just the right amount of info to bring me up to speed on SSH, Git and Ansible. I'm running this on MacOS and so far I'm able to execute and keep up with all the stuff. However, I need to dive in to my Mac Mini (my guinea pig for running modules) tomorrow and get Xcode installed and do stuff that came back with the error message for ping and gather_facts. Just the fact I got output tells me I'm connected and running the module, so I count that as success, albeit, limited. I can't wait to get through the rest of the videos. And, when it is time to become a better expert Linux admin, if I ever need to, I know where to turn for good video just in time education.

[@JoeKingstonS]

This is got to be one of the best Ansible videos. I learned so much, and the lessons are straightforward to follow. I appreciate the hard work you put into making this video.

[@juliengs]

Thank you! It finally clicked! This is the best Ansible tutorial, hands down.

[@fredrik354]

This is a great start for someone who hasn't even seen Ansible before. Highly appreciated!

[@boulouizmohammed6827]

Best Ansible tutorial thanks king, i had searched for a long time a good tutorial

[@sagarvispute]

Jay you are doing great job. Explaining things nicely & calmly… keep up good work…👍🏻

[@getnq]

Very well done, Jay! FYI, not a big deal, but at the bottom of the screen, the "Splash title" in "Getting started with Ansible 04 - Running ad-hoc Commands" at 0:36 shows the "Splash title" for the previous video, "Part 3 - Setting up the Git Repository".

[@karthickram3804]

Best video to learn about Ansible

Thank you man. Youre just amazing. I really enjoy your videos, great teaching

Another great video in this series. Thanks so much!

[@UdokaOnwuagba]

Thanks a lot for this lesson. I'm a bit confused about the "keyfile". kindly explain which of the keyfile you are talking about

[@yavor1]

Nice work on the videos! To enhance clarity, please keep the top and bottom lines of the video free from text. This will help ensure important content is visible when pausing the video.

[@RaspberryTech]

Yes I will click that like button, this content is great!

[@ДмитроЖигалкін]

Thanks. Marvelous.

[@angelogoncalvesdias4504]

Excellent!. I have a doubt. Since we have established the trust relationship among the servers, why should I pass the --key-file as a command argument? The ansible command will work without it.

[@agroleau04]

Awesome content, thanks Jay!

[@Washout001]

For anyone confused on the 'git push origin master' not working, think they've changed it to 'main' and not 'master' now for new repositories

[@harunaadoga]

Thank you!

[@dommbrown]

Love ya work. Have you ever had a look at Semaphore for Ansible? How about a tutorial on it you have come across it before?

[@MohammadGholami-rb5xx]

[@mrAmal45]

7:35 if it is actual making real connection, where is the username mentioned for ssh ?

[@hamidja1537]

First, thanks for the amazing content. I am having one question: Was wondering why we are using the private key in this command (06:05)? Before creating the ansible.cfg file, I removed the private key file, and executed it, and it was working: ansible all -i inventory -m ping Does anyone know why?

[@lukerand]

Maybe you have a second keypair that doesn't have a passphrase attached?

[@automationlearner2253]

when i do ansible ping command its come with success result as expected but when i do ansible list-hosts or gather_facts commands its showing nothing has been connected means no server is been connected ..can you help me to fix this why is so happening

[@automationlearner2253]

i fixed it ..needed to first create ansible.cfg then it got connected using same commands

[@dvn8ter]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@carloslizarralde4920]

why or what is the diff of apt OS ansible vs other pip ansible?

[@HariHaran-xv9fp]

what is the --key-file .. instead of that why can't we just do ansible all -m ping

[@kimotroph9683]

Great tutorial 👌. Sometimes the presentation is ruined for me by a heavy east Indian accent that doesn't sound to me like English.. your delivery was well paced and intelligible

[@grahammccann8554]

Thank Jay :-)

[@rwm0268]

gather_facts isn't working for me. It looks like that module might have been replaced with the setup module.

[@lindas.4376]

It works for me.

[@rwm0268]

@@lindas.4376 You must be running a different version.

[@Nicklarose]

it does not work for me either. If I run it from /etc/ansible/ it does work though. Trying to figure that out now

[@TheBoomh]

Rodney's correct. For those having issues, replace gather_facts with setup: ansible all -m setup Per redhat's documentation, ansible facts are only retrieved when working with playbooks, else you'll want to use setup module when using ad-hoc commands

[@automationlearner2253]

@rodney mcbride i am also having same issue with gather_facts and list-hosts both commands ...did u fix it ? if so then please can u help me with that also

[@NSXLA]

can't run ansible from home dir. i get error "module_stderr": "Shared connection to 192.168.1.19 closed. ", "module_stdout": "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory ", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", also i can only use sudo from /etc/ansible and it pings fine - and had to add [centm-hosts:vars] ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3 to host file to get connection.

[@blahblahblahblah2933]

python not installed or no symlink to the appropriate binary? What distros did this happen on ?

[@GuillermoPradoObando]

Install the same version of python on the remote server "192.168.1.19" that ansible host has.

[@Glatze603]

add "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3" to the end of your inventory file

[@LeeRaymondCM]

I did an "apt update" right before "apt install ansible" and still it ended up installing Ansible 2.5 and all sorts of strange message came up. I google ansible installation and added an extra repository and did installation again - ended up with Ansible 2.9 and everything works like what Jay showed. edit: these are the commands I found: $ sudo apt install software-properties-common $ sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible $ sudo apt install ansible

[@NameCallingIsWeak]

2:40 create inventory

[@GC-qe8vc]

Thank you for the video series. A little suggestion: there's no need to say "go ahead and (verb)" all the time. Just use the verb. Example: instead of "going ahead and typing the IP adresses", just say "I will now type...". "Going ahead" is KZbinr-speak and becomes annoying once you notice it (just like "smashing the like button")...

[@raginibhayana]

i am very confused right now

Hi Jay, Great Series on Ansible!! Watch the entire series first time around and now getting to hands-on... Running into issue running the command "ansible all --key-file ~/.ssh/ansible -i inventory -m ping I get the error "ansible: error: no such option: --key-file" ....has the option for specifying which SSH key been deprecated?? Kindly help

[@bhaktisn888]

this is an amazing playlist I had a problem after running this command snb@ubuntu:~/bhakti$ ansible all --key-file ~/.ssh/ansible -i inventory -m ping ***.***.**.*** | UNREACHABLE! => { "changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ***.***.**.* Permission denied (publickey,password).", "unreachable": true }

[@user-yh8ce7tg8l]

Verify the key file is actually working first # ssh -i ~/.ssh/ansible

[@vixx1497]

@@user-yh8ce7tg8l I got that far and was asked for a password for the connection. I had set up the ansible key without a passphrase as per the tutorial, is this maybe caused by a username mismatch between the servers and control node?

[@vixx1497]

As an update, I'm able to SSH into the servers with the Ansible key via terminal without passphrase by specifying a username on the server, this is not something you could realistically do in bulk without having the same username as your control node on every server. I will attempt to add usernames to the addresses in the inventory file to see if that will solve my issue.

[@vixx1497]

Adding the username to the hosts in the inventory file worked, the syntax is the same as using SSH manually so @
