Hello, Yes, its possible to use ansible without root password. There are two ways you can do this. 1. Create an user and add that user to sudo group. Let's say username is anisble. These commands should be run as root in the ubuntu2 machine. *useradd ansible* *usermod -aG sudo ansible* *visudo*
Once the visudo opens, replace this line *%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL* with the line *%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL* so that the user ansible will not be prompted for password when becoming a sudo user. 2. The same can be done with the ubuntu user as well. Let me know if there is any ambiguity. -Ravi Kumar On Friday, May 7, 2021 at 3:10:01 PM UTC+5:30 [email protected] wrote: > Hi all, I'm a newbee on ansible and I follow online tutos. > > I installed 2 ubuntu VM (named ubunt1 and ubunt2), one as node manager > (ubuntu1) and the second one as simple node (ubuntu2).
