Re: [ansible-project] Problem with SSH Forwarding using Ansible and Vagrant

Yes, I could do that. It's just that my SSH key has full access to everything and didn't want to even take a chance leaving it in the box once it's generated and I want to share it with others but I guess you are right. Not that hard to get around it using synced folders or something of that kind.

Ok, communication issue on my end. "doit" does get applied to everything, and we are good there (no bugs!) It isn't true that adding a tag to the "include" statement you have manually inside the role would affect the deps. That would only affect the included tasks in that file. Sorry for confus
