When I am trying to run an ansible module from Python API (AWS EC2 instances are my target machines), the private_key_file is read from /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg but I have to pass remote_user in Options for running the module. (I have not set environment variable ANSIBLE_CONFIG) Here is my python: … Options = namedtuple(‘Options’, [‘connection’,’remote_user’, ‘module_path’, ‘forks’, ‘become’, ‘become_method’, ‘become_user’, ‘check’, ‘verbosity’]) options = Options(connection=’ssh’, remote_user=’centos’, module_path=’./library’, forks=100, become=None, become_method=None, become_user=None, check=False, verbosity=None) … # create inventory and pass to var manager inventory = Inventory(loader=loader, variable_manager=variable_manager, host_list=’inventory/ec2.py’) variable_manager.set_inventory(inventory)
# create play with tasks play_source = dict( name = “Ansible Play”, hosts = ‘all’, gather_facts = ‘no’, tasks = [ dict(action=dict(module=’running_services’, args=dict(deploy_dir=”/home/centos/test/”)), register=’running_services’) ] ) play = Play().load(play_source, variable_manager=variable_manager, loader=loader) # actually run it tqm = None try: tqm = TaskQueueManager( inventory=inventory, variable_manager=variable_manager, loader=loader, options=options, passwords=passwords, stdout_callback=results_callback #Custom callback ) result = tqm.run(play) finally: if tqm is not None: tqm.cleanup() I am failed to understand why it takes key from global ansible.cfg and not remote_host? I do not want to pass remote_user in code and want to use it from /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg: … [defaults] host_key_checking = False remote_user = centos private_key_file = ~/.ssh/key.pem P.S. Even if I export ANSIBLE_CONFIG, it doesn’t make any difference. Any help would be appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
