[ansible-project] Re: remove previously used remote_user (possibly ControlMaster, ControlPersist problem)

['Davide' via Ansible Project]

I found a related post [1] where it is suggested to just kill all processes
before deleting the user [2].

[ansible-project] Re: Deleting a user; still being used

['Davide' via Ansible Project]

So I am not the only one that has this problem on the raspberry pi ;) [1].

I am still confused on why I have this problem only on the raspberry pi but
killing the process works great. Thanks!
I still would prefer to set ControlMaster=no just for the one playbook that
uses the default user. But unfortunately there is no ssh_args playbook 
attribute. 

Regards
Davide

Hi Suresh,

 Are you able to login SSH manually (ssh 10.XXX.XXX.XX)?

--> Request you to regenerate the keys and make copy on both servers. It 
should work

Re: [ansible-project] How to configure playbook serial value by group var from inventory file?

[Bing Hsueh]

Thanks for the explaination.
Now I know the reason why I cannot set the value from inventory file.

And also thanks for branko to point out the inconsistence of variable 
names, I didn't notice that. :p

Re: [ansible-project] How to configure playbook serial value by group var from inventory file?

[Brian Coca]

This is because serial is a play level keyword and must be the same
for ALL hosts in play, so inventory data cannot be used to set it.


You cannot set 'batches' of hosts for all play if the batch size keeps
changing per host.

Ansible is complaining that you are referencing a variable
"batch_deploy", and that it is not defined anywhere.

Here, the variable is called "deploy_batch".

Here, the variable is called "batch_deploy". E.g. not the same as in
the inventory file (swapped batch/deploy in the name).

[ansible-project] Re: Ansible Tower can't reach SCM source or remote host.

WSL doesn't support every function available in the linux kernel

There's a bug report open for signalfd here

If I recall Tower wants a fair bit of RAM etc so you are probably better 
off spinning up a dedicated VM for it.

Hope this helps,

Re: [ansible-project] In a loop everything executes at the same time?

[Guillem Sola]

Thanks Brian for helping me understand how with item task work under the 
hoods.

I was expecting "with_items" to work as different tasks, as per 
documentation "To save some typing, repeated tasks can be written in 
short-hand like so 

:" 

thus I was expecting it to be "transformed" to something like this

- name: Long task iteration 1
win_shell: (0..5) | foreach { (date).ToString("hh:mm:ss:");Start-Sleep 
-Seconds 1 }
when: "(( ansible_play_batch.index(inventory_hostname) % (( play_hosts | 
length ) / 2 )) | round) == 0"
- name: Long task iteration 2
win_shell: (0..5) | foreach { (date).ToString("hh:mm:ss:");Start-Sleep 
-Seconds 1 }
when: "(( ansible_play_batch.index(inventory_hostname) % (( play_hosts | 
length ) / 2 )) | round) == 1"
- name: Long task iteration 2
win_shell: (0..5) | foreach { (date).ToString("hh:mm:ss:");Start-Sleep 
-Seconds 1 }
when: "(( ansible_play_batch.index(inventory_hostname) % (( play_hosts | 
length ) / 2 )) | round) == 2"

which has my desired behaviour,

>From what you told me I understand that loops are executed as a single task 
for each host
