Vagrant Ansible Provision SSH Error

Question

I'm trying to make some tramp / Ansible, but ran into problems from the start. Here is my Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64" config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.6.66" config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "2048"] end config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible| ansible.playbook = "site.yml" end end 

site.yml just

 --- - name: Bring up server with MySQL, Nginx, and PHP-FPM hosts: all remote_user: root roles: - common 

and common / tasks / main.yml

 --- - name: Update apt apt: update_cache=yes 

When doing vagrant up output

If I look at .vagrant / provisioners / ansible / inventory / vagrant_ansible_inventory, I see the following:

 default ansible_ssh_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2200 

I would expect the IP address to be the same as in private_network? I looked at it for more than an hour, did I do something wrong? I have a feeling that IP is not setting properly or something like that. I can ping 192.168.6.66 .

Answer 1

The problem that your site.yml is canceling the remote user may be using root. But you do not provide him with the private key and password.

Thus, I fixed that you need to set ansible_ssh_user to "vagrant", because by default it is a known user, and ansible will behave the same as vagrant ssh if remote_user is not redefined. And set sudo true because the roaming user is sudoer but not su.

 # -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby : Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64" config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.6.66" config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb| vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "2048"] end config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible| ansible.playbook = "site.yml" ansible.extra_vars = { ansible_ssh_user: 'vagrant' } ansible.sudo = true #ansible.verbose = 'vvvv' end end 

Please refer to the section "WHY A RESPONSIBLE PROVISOR IS CONNECTED AS AN INCORRECT USER?" section Illegal preparation of stray documentation

Answer 2

Vagrant will create its own inventory file (which you saw) with default values ​​127.0.0.1 and 2200.

You need to specify an indispensable inventory file using ansible.inventory_path

A very simple inventory file for use with Vagrant might look like this:

default ansible_ssh_host = 192.168.111.222 If the above IP address is one set in your Vagrantfile:

config.vm.network: private_network, ip: "192.168.111.222"

Answer 3

I had Ansible on Vagrant 1.7 trying to connect as root , possibly due to some separate default repo group vars options. Possible fixes:

• set ansible.force_remote_user = true or ansible_ssh_user extra / host / group vars appropriately
• or go to Vagrant 1.8, which by default disconnects the remote user, according to changelog

Answer 4

I had a similar problem where it would not be ssh on the server for some reason to provide.

vagrant ssh worked fine, but vagrant provision unable to generate ssh due to timeout.

I finally connected the dots and realized that this is actually due to the VPN client that my employer is using. The Cisco AnyConnect VPN client performs some kind of buggery function and makes it so that I need to reboot the entire workstation in order to be able to start it.

Fortunately, I do not need to connect to the VPN for many things, so this only happens occasionally for me.
