Add ansible.cfg Pipelining makes ansible run tasks much faster, and as of Ansible 2.0 or 2.1 or so, it now works on older hosts that have requiretty in their sudo config[0]. Also, disable the creation of those stupid retry files. [0] https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/13200 2016-08-22 12:04:13 +02:00			`[defaults]`
			`retry_files_enabled=False`
ansible.cfg: Force handlers to run even if a task fails We don't want services to be left in a broken state just because a task fails and handlers that might have been notified fail to run. 2017-01-28 16:36:32 +01:00			`force_handlers=True`
ansible.cfg: Add inventory option As of Ansible 2.4 the ANSIBLE_HOSTS environment variable is deprecated so we need to specify this some other way. 2017-09-20 11:35:13 +02:00			`inventory=hosts`
ansible.cfg: smart fact gathering 2022-09-12 16:18:19 +02:00			`gathering = smart`
ansible.cfg: Add option to ask for vault pass One less thing to remember to type during normal invocations. 2017-09-20 11:43:33 +02:00			`# instead of using --ask-vault-pass`
			`ask_vault_pass=True`
Move remote_user to ansible.cfg Command line options override config files like ansible.cfg, but not inventory data or playbook directives. This allows us to over- ride remote_user with `-u` on the command line to log in as root before we have set up the provisioning user. See: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/7841#issuecomment-245716271 2019-12-08 11:29:36 +01:00			`remote_user = provisioning`
ansible.cfg: Use auto discovery of Python interpreter Uses a built-in table of OSes and Python versions to decide which Python interpreter to use. This is better than hard coding python3 in every single host's host_vars. See: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/interpreter_discovery.html 2021-07-07 11:22:00 +02:00			`interpreter_python=auto`
ansible.cfg: disable SSH host key checking 2022-09-12 16:14:39 +02:00			`# Don't warn on unknown SSH host keys because it's super annoying for new hosts`

ansible.cfg: Fix SSH pipelining config The docs aren't very clear on this to be honest, but this option needs to be under a [ssh_connection] section. See: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#pipelining See: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/331499/ 2016-09-07 09:37:25 +02:00
