Ansible tips

As Ansible is using askpass to setup ssh connection, you have to ensure hostkey is already configured on your server. If it is not, you can deactivate hostkey checking by ansible. In your ansible configuration add the following line:

cat ~/.ansible.cfg
[defaults]
host_key_checking = False

This repository uses its own ansible.cfg file to store local parameters. Content of this file is provided below:

[defaults]
host_key_checking = False
inventory = hosts.ini

As inventory file is set to hosts.ini, there is no need to specify the value if you are using this one.
