Ansible.cfg¶

Setting to Read from SSH Config¶

You can edit your ansible config (Ansible.cfg) file to define the SSH config file you want Ansible to use for its SSH connections.

Just add a [ssh_connection] section to Ansible.cfg:

[defaults]
inventory = ./inventory.yml
host_key_checking = False
timeout = 10
private_key_file = /home/kolkhis/.ssh/id_ed25519

[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -F /home/kolkhis/.ssh/config

As long as your inventory file has the same hostnames as the SSH config file, you can use this method to define your inventory addresses.

all:
  children:
    nodes:
      hosts:
        node1: {}
        node2: {}
        node3: {}
        node4: {}
        node5: {}
        node6: {}
        pi: {}
    devbox:
      hosts:
        devbox: {}
