So, I've been hearing good things about ansible for years, and finally decided to take the plunge, figuring it might help me manage the collection of Raspberry Pi's I've accumulated around the house doing various things.
After a bit of struggle, I got to the point where I could log into all the Pi's via SSH without explicit user credentials being passed on the command line. So then I put together an inventory file, and figured it was time to try out a "ping." Of my 10 pi's, I was successful on half of them. The other 5 run pre-packaged OS's that apparently don't fulfill all the requirements. 4 of these make up my home music system, and those run PiCorePlayer, which seemingly lacks a python installation. The 5th runs EyePi, an abandoned packaging of MotionEye that creates a streaming webcam (in my case, for weather). Ansible complains about not being able to create a tmp directory. On the EyePi, I doubt I am going to get very far, but I was hoping to find a way to specify where the tmp directory should go in my inventory file. But reading through the doc, I haven't found such a setting. Q1: is there such a setting that can be stored in the inventory, so it's always used when communicating with that host? On the PiCorePlayers, I was able to install a python3.8 extension, and that seems to have gotten me past that particular roadblock. So I guess for the most part, I am really just left with Q1...
