Run Linux passwordless SSH commands

Make sure you re-run these commands everytime you come back to your machine!

eval $(ssh-agent)
ssh-add -t 14400

Make the playbook

• make linux_users.yml file in the ansible directory

• use your favorite text editor to make your playbook!

---
- name: Create a Linux Local User
  hosts: linux
  become: yes
  tasks:
  - name: Add user sparkle-gremlin
    user:
      name: sparkle-gremlin
      password: "{{ 'password' | password_hash('sha512') }}"
      shell: /bin/bash
      home: /home/sparkle-gremlin

Link to playbook above

Run the playbook

• ansible-playbook -u sparkle-deployer -i linux_hosts.txt linux_user.yml
  • I am running this command form the sparkle user account so using the u command allows me to specify that I want the playbook to run with the sparkle-deployer account.
  • the -i flag lets you tell ansible which inventory file you will be using.
