Subject: RE: [ansible-project] using different remote_user until success
Hi Brian, this seemed like a good way to do it, but I haven't been able to make
it work - I haven't done much logic in my plays... mostly just point and shoot
tasks.
---
- hosts: test
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: try users
remote_user: "{{ item }}"
ping:
ignore_unreachable: true
failed_when: false
with_items:
- centos
- root
- ec2-user
When I run this, it loops 3 times, and at the start of each I get...
<xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: centos
failed: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (item=centos) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"item": "centos",
< xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: centos
failed: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (item=root) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"item": "root",
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied
(publickey,password).",
"unreachable": true
< xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: centos
failed: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (item=ec2-user) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"item": "ec2-user",
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied
(publickey,password).",
"unreachable": true
}
So the item is changing, but it seems that you can only set remote_user once?
I assume remote_user is what I should be using in the playbook? Ansible_user
in the config file and remote_user in the playbook right?
This seems like great solution if I could get it to work.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated at this point.
Regards
Bill

loop a ping task over the users and use 'ignore_unreachable' and
failed_when: false to keep running that task, register the result and set
ansible_user using the results.
