ansible provisioning for instance (Cloud Version) Using Pipelines

Posted on by Osama Mustafa in DevOps Tools

Imagine you are having multiple instances and you want to change something, if you will do this manually it will take time from you why not to automte the process ?

I upladed one of the projects to automate the process, this will allow to automate the simplest things for example new employee joined and you need to add his SSH key to your instances (You can even choose which VM you want to him/her to acces) , just add the key in the roles and configure the pipeline on your rep and the code will run Automtically.

I uploaded the project on my github HERE.

Enjoy the power of automation.

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"
