Hello, I wrote a playbook that checks out brand new servers that are built for my team. To make things truly one-and-done, I thought it would be clever to include a play that copies the ssh public key from our ansible controller to the freshly built remote hosts.
I tried using the authorized_key module, but it doesn't seem to work.. Here is the play: --- - name: Checkout new build hosts: all remote_user: blah tasks: - name: copy ssh key to remote host authorized_key: user: blah key: "{{ lookup('file', '/home/blah/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}" Here is the error I get: TASK [setup] ******************************************************************* fatal: [hostname redacted]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "ERROR! SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH debugging output to help diagnose the issue", "unreachable": true} Here is the command I am running: ansible-playbook -i /home/blah/ansible/inventory/newBuilds.hosts /home/blah/ansible/playbooks/linuxCheckout/linuxCheckout.yml --ask-pass Am I doing something wrong?
