Ansible : Invalid/incorrect password: Permission denied, please try again

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in DevOps Tools

Trying to work with ansible and got the below error

The inventory having the following line :-

target1 ansible_host=192.168.204.129  ansible_ssh_pass=password

When trying to run a test like the below :-

osama@ansible-controller:~/ansible_test$ ansible target1 -m ping -i /home/osama/ansible_test/inventory.txt

The following error appeared :-

target1 | UNREACHABLE! => {

    "changed": false,

    "msg": "Invalid/incorrect password: Permission denied, please try again.",

    "unreachable": true

}

To solve this error you need to set the right username and password like the following, inside the inventory add the following :-

target1 ansible_host=192.168.204.129  ansible_ssh_user=osboxes aniansible_ssh_pass=password

Run the test again by :-

osama@ansible-controller:~/ansible_test$ ansible target1 -m ping -i /home/osama/ansible_test/inventory.txt  --ask-pass

The output will be 

target1 | SUCCESS => {

    "ansible_facts": {

        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"

    },

    "changed": false,

    "ping": "pong"

Docker & kubernetes example – Full project for free

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in DevOps Tools

Okay, I love to post free examples/projects on my github from while to while, i choose docker and kubernetes this time, the project idea it’s very nice and easy to implement.

What this project do ?

This can be a simple web app that reads a ‘hello world’ string from the MySQL database.Run a database app. Data volume should be persistent.Application from step 1 needs to discover the database from step 2 using Kubernetes native features.
Database credentials should NOT be hardcoded in application or helm chart code.The application should be accessible from the outside of Kubernetes.Create a helm chart which implements all these steps

  • Create an application that connects to a database, reads some data, and returns this data upon HTTP request, This can be a simple web app that reads a ‘hello world’ string from the MySQL database.
  • Run a database app. Data volume should be persistent.
  • Application from step 1 needs to discover the database from step 2 using Kubernetes native features, Database credentials should NOT be hardcoded in application or helm chart code.
  • The application should be accessible from the outside of Kubernetes.
  • Create a helm chart which implements all these steps

I Choose to use Java as programing language because the springboot framework it’s already defined and easy to use.

Please follow the readme file and everything will working fine without any issue, if you have any question comment below and i will answer
