hello, i have a lab environments with a couple of Linux Ubuntu 18.04, and i'm trying to figure out why ansible-pull command is not working properly.
i was viewing a great tutorial on how to build and execute the lab, and how to setup the ansible-pull playbook. when i trigger the ansible-pull command using my git-hub link, it works great, but it's not working when it is configured via the crontab (to check every 10 minutes the configuration of the machine). for testing i created a playbook that installs: htop, vim, tilix. only when i trigger the playbook using the command line i see that everything works. the crontab is installed and here is a sample of the logs that proof's it's running every 10 minutes.
