Al West:
Sorry I don’t have access to my lab at the moment to try this out for you.

Diana:

#21

Diana:
This is what i have configured yesterday because i thought this is what should be done

#22

Al West:
that isn’t yaml

#23

Al West:
try ansible_user: ubuntu

#24

Diana:
Do i need to configure anything else in those files?

#25

Al West:
if the ssh key used for both then should be fine

#26

Al West:
you should be able to do ansible -m ping all -i inventory.yaml

#27

Al West:
Though I am not sure if the file in the group_vars folder should be named like tag_Name_ubuntu.yaml

#28

Diana:
So i don’t need to specify an inventory file?

#29

Diana:
It worked when i run it like that: ansible-playbook -C docker.yml

#30

Diana:

cat docker.yml 

---



# docker.yml



- name: Use a galaxy role to install docker

  hosts: "all"

  become: true



  roles:

    - role: "geerlingguy.docker"

      tags: ["docker"]
#31

Al West:
Can you first verify ansible -m ping all -i inventory_aws_ec2.yml works first

#32

Diana:
Actually i ran it with an inventory file and it works as well

#33

Al West:
okay good

#34

Diana:

ansible -m ping all -i inventory_aws_ec2.yml

Al West:
nice one :+1:

#36

Diana:
So let me understand that, i have to create the group_vars folder in order it to work?

#37

Diana:
How does it know what user to use?
I didn’t specify the files in the group_vars folder…
