vagrant up

Running ansible playbooks manually

Depending on the ansible provider, you can run playbooks manually for troubleshooting them

ansible_local

Connect to your instance with vagrant ssh and execute the following

ansible -i localhost -m ping
ansible-playbook -i localhost, -c local /path/to/share/res/ansible/main.yml --tags some_tags
# if use `vagrant ssh` and you get an error related to encoding issues, use:
# export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

ansible

You need ansible to be installed on the host to do that.

python3 -m pip install --break-system-packages ansible

You can run the playbook with

export ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=False
ansible-playbook -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory res/ansible/pb-dummy.yml
