Quick question is it possible to call ansible module in oneline ?
I tried:
ansible localhost -m maven_artifact -e 'group_id=groupid' -o
localhost | FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "group_id must be set"}
I'm not able to figureout how to pass the group id an dI do not want to setup a playbook.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
I found the solution I just have to add -a instead of -e
ansible localhost -m maven_artifact -a 'group_id=groupid' -o```
Quote from official doc
$ ansible [pattern] -m [module] -a "[module options]"
-e is for passing variables, what you need in this case is -a to pass arguments for the module.

can you help me pass a parameter of a Workflow in Apache Hop Run?
I did as instructed on the site and tried other ways but the message below always appears
.\hop-run.bat -j ROTINA_SUPERA -r local -e PROD_ROTINA_SUPERA -f "C:\Apache Hop\Pipelines\ROTINA_SUPERA\ATUALIZACAO_SUPERA.hwf" -p anomes=2023-02
Obs.: In Hop gui it works normally passing the value "2023-02" for the parameter "anomes"
Work this way:
.\hop-run.bat -j ROTINA_SUPERA -r local -e PROD_ROTINA_SUPERA -f "C:\Apache Hop\Pipelines\ROTINA_SUPERA\ATUALIZACAO_SUPERA.hwf" -p=\"anomes=2023-02\"
I know there are a few about this but so far nothing seems to work for me.
So I am trying to learn to use Ansible and I got stuck at this ssh connection issue. I think I did everything right however I would appreciate if someone would help out. Let me post the files I have configures and the result I have.
### ansible.cfg ###
[defaults]
inventory = ./Playbooks/hosts
remote_user = ansible
private_key_file = .ssh/id_key.pub
### Playbooks/hosts ###
[server]
ubu1 ansible_ssh_host=192.16.20.69 ansible_ssh_pass=qwerty ansible_ssh_user=ansible
### Command executed ###
sudo ansible -m ping -vvvv ubu1
### The result I get ###
Using /home/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file

ubu1 | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh.",
"unreachable": true
}
Unfortunalty I am unable to continue learning Ansible until I get this solved. One of the things I am wondering if the ssh-agent is not interfering with Ansible and if so and I must admit I have no clue on what to next.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The answer from comments above:
Try ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 ansible -m ping -vvvv ubu1 and check the exact error message
Allowed to trace down problems with ip-addresses and python installation.
I'm trying to run ansible role on multiple servers, but i get an error:
fatal: [192.168.0.10]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg":
"Failed to connect to the host via ssh.", "unreachable": true}
My /etc/ansible/hosts file looks like this:
192.168.0.10 ansible_sudo_pass='passphrase' ansible_ssh_user=user
192.168.0.11 ansible_sudo_pass='passphrase' ansible_ssh_user=user
192.168.0.12 ansible_sudo_pass='passphrase' ansible_ssh_user=user
I have no idea what's going on - everything looks fine - I can login via SSH, but ansible ping returns the same error.
The log from verbose execution:
<192.168.0.10> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: user <192.168.0.10>

)'"'"''
Can you help me somehow? If I have to use ansible in local mode (-c local), then it's useless.
I've tried to delete ansible_sudo_pass and ansible_ssh_user, but it did'nt help.
You need to change the ansible_ssh_pass as well or ssh key, for example I am using this in my inventory file:
192.168.33.100 ansible_ssh_pass=vagrant ansible_ssh_user=vagrant
After that I can connect to the remote host:
ansible all -i tests -m ping
With the following result:
192.168.33.100 | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
Hope that help you.
EDIT: ansible_ssh_pass & ansible_ssh_user don't work in the latest version of Ansible. It has changed to ansible_user & ansible_pass
mkdir /etc/ansible
cat > hosts
default ansible_ssh_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2222 ansible_ssh_user=vagrant ansible_ssh_private_key_file=.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key
Go to your playbook directory and run ansible all -m ping or ansible ping -m "server-group-name"
I had this issue, but it was for a different reason than was documented in other answers. My host that I was trying to deploy to was only available by going through a jump box. Originally, I thought that it was because Ansible wasn't recognizing my SSH config file, but it was. The solution for me was to make sure that the user that was present in the SSH config file matched the user in the Ansible playbook. That resolved the issue for me.
Try to modify your host file to:
192.168.0.10
192.168.0.11
192.168.0.12
$ansible -m ping all -vvv
After installing ansible on Ubuntu or CentOS.
You can have messages below. Do not panic, you must have an access right to the file /tmp of user [/home/user_name/.ansible/tmp/].
"Authentication or permission failure".
This preconisaion will solve the problem.
[Your_server ~]$ ansible -m ping all
rusub-bm-gt | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
Your_server | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
Best Practice for me I'm using SSH keys to access to server hosts
1.Create hosts file in inventories folder
[example]
example1.com
example2.com
example3.com
2. Create ansible-playbook file playbook.yml
---
- hosts:
- all
- roles:
- example
3. let's try to deploy ansible-playbook with multiple server hosts
ansible-playbook playbook.yml -i inventories/hosts example --user vagrant
The ansible_ssh_port changed while reloading the vm.
==> default: Booting VM...
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
default: SSH username: vagrant
default: SSH auth method: private key
So I had to update the inventory/hosts file as follows:
default ansible_ssh_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2222 ansible_ssh_user='centos' ansible_ssh_private_key_file=<key path>
I want to use Ansible as part of another Python software. in that software I have a hosts list with their user / password.
Is there a way to pass the user / pass of the SSH connection to the Ansible ad-hoc command or write it in any file in encrypted way?
Or do i understand it all wrong, and the only way to do it is with SSH certification?
The docs say you can specify the password via the command line:
-k, --ask-pass.
ask for connection password
Ansible can also store the password in the ansible_password variable on a per-host basis.
you can use --extra-vars like this:
$ ansible all --inventory=10.0.1.2, -m ping \
--extra-vars "ansible_user=root ansible_password=yourpassword"
If you're authenticating to a Linux host that's joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, this command line works.
ansible --module-name ping --extra-vars 'ansible_user=domain\user ansible_password=PASSWORD' --inventory 10.10.6.184, all
As mentioned before you can use --extra-vars (-e) , but instead of specifying the pwd on the commandline so it doesn't end up in the history files you can save it to an environment variable. This way it also goes away when you close the session.
read -s PASS
ansible windows -i hosts -m win_ping -e "ansible_password=$PASS"
I used the command
ansible -i inventory example -m ping -u <your_user_name> --ask-pass
And it will ask for your password.
For anyone who gets the error:
to use the 'ssh' connection type with passwords, you must install the sshpass program
On MacOS, you can follow below instructions to install sshpass:
Download the Source Code
Extract it and cd into the directory
./configure
sudo make install
Code:
HOST=localhost
PORT=1234
RSYNCCMD="rsync -avP -e \"ssh -p $PORT\""
${(z)RSYNCCMD} root#$HOST:"\"/foo\"" /bar
Output:
rsync: Failed to exec ssh -p 1234: No such file or directory (2)
...
If I enter the same thing (rsync -avP -e "ssh -p 1234" ...) directly into the console, it works.
How do I fix it?
using ${(Q)${(z)RSYNCCMD}} might work for you (instead of ${(z)RSYNCCMD})
(${(z)RSYNCCMD} seems to be expanded to rsync -avP -e \"ssh\ -p\ 1234\", (Q) does an additional unquoting magic)
