Ansible Galaxy using root user for role installation
by Sandra Maksimovic 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

Hi there, Would anyone happen to know why Ansible tries to connect to a remote host (CentOS 7) using 'root' during Galaxy role installation? My playbook has been configured to connect to the remote host using a different user account via SSH, however, the role installation is not honoring this for some reason and continues to use root. The remote host has had SSH root login disabled for security reasons and setting various galaxy user/privsep/become/remote user variables in the group_vars has not had any effect. TASK [galaxyproject.galaxy : Create galaxy_root] * fatal: [server_name]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Invalid/incorrect password: Permission denied, please try again.\r\nPermission denied, please try again.\r\nroot@server_name: Permission denied (publickey,password).", "unreachable": true} Thanks, Sandra Disclaimer This e-mail and any attachments to it (the "Communication") are, unless otherwise stated, confidential, may contain copyright material and is for the use only of the intended recipient.
