Running ansible playbook

To run an ansible playbook you can run the following command:

# ansible-playbook -s playbook.yml

Option	Description
-s, –sudo	Force all plays to use sudo, even if not marked as such

Running script locally

By default ansible will run against the hosts in the following file: /etc/ansible/hosts

If you wish to install and then run ansible playbooks on your local machine/directly on the server-in-question, you can define the following at the top of your playbook:

---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local

You can also run ansible commands locally with the following command:

# ansible localhost -a "/bin/echo hello"
localhost | success | rc=0 >>
hello
