To install to other hosts (i.e. managed hosts) than the control node, an SSH connection is required. The control node must have network access to all the target hosts and permission to SSH into the machine.
Note: The inventory file (inventory_ssh.yml) is
used to specify the target IP addresses and the SSH connection details. You can
specify one IP address for all the hosts to obtain a single-machine installation, or
different IP addresses for a multi-machine installation.
The example snippet below demonstrates how to install the repository to a host with an IP address of 50.6.51.7 using an SSH key located at /path/to/id_rsa.
repository:
hosts:
repository.acme.local:
ansible_host: 50.6.51.7
ansible_private_key_file: "/path/to/id_rsa"
