Hi All, I'm trying to bootstrap some remote VMs (ubuntu1804) that are not physically managed by me and have only been given ssh accesses as root via ssh keys only i.e. no password. I can confirm this works, i.e. I can ssh in as root with no password from my cli using ansible 2.10.1 on macOS under python 3.8 I want to bootstrap these machines to get them onto our CI/CD pipeline I'm using the playbook I normally bootstrap however ansible-playbook keeps prompting for a password in this case. `ansible-playbook bootstrap.yml -k -extra-vars="hosts=x.x.x.x remote_user=root" ` I have also tried passing my ssh private key using '--private-key' parameter to no avail. also added `ask_pass=False` to my local ansible.cfg to no avail I've successfully used this on other vms in the past that I physically manage however I just use the root password and then my bootstrap playbook does does the rest. local ansible.cfg [defaults] roles_path=roles ask_pass=false transport=ssh my playbook bootstrap.yml is: - name: Bootstrap remote server for CI hosts: '{{ hosts }}' remote_user: '{{ user }}' gather_facts: no roles: - role: bootstrap Thanks Stephen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
