Hi,
Right, it maybe the playbook itself. Anyway, the play1.yml is per below:
========================
- hosts: "*"
become: yes
tasks:
- name: apt
apt:
update_cache: yes
upgrade: 'yes'
=========================
If I run the play1.yml with the following command, without specify any
group name, it works:
$ ansible-playbook ./playbooks/play1.yml --user admin --ask-pass
--ask-become-pass -i ./inventory/hosts
Then it is OK!!!
