Help configuring rundeck job to run ansible playbook

[Kobi Rosenstein]

I have a project with a single remote node, on which Ansible is installed .

I can run an ansible playbook by through Rundeck if I use the "command" option. It works fine and returns the proper values I expect.

However, if I use the "Ansible playbook worflow node step" option, I always get an error saying:

Failed: IOFailure: ERROR: Ansible IO failure: Cannot run program
"ansible-playbook" (in directory "/home/tuser/playbooks"): error=2, No
such file or directory

I have "Ansible base directory path" set to /home/tuser/playbooks, and "Playbook" has an absolute path: "/home/tuser/playbooks/playbook.yml"

How am I supposed to use the native ansibe features and not have to resort to manually running things as commands?

Hi Kobi,

The ansible plugin is designed keeping in mind that Ansible and Rundeck are coexisting in the same server (because the plugin needs the ansible.cfg path and host file path to get the configuration and ansible inventory),  that output is because you don't have that binary in your Rundeck server.

You can follow these steps to configure Ansible with Rundeck correctly (screenshots included):

Also, you can check this video:

If you need to run ansible-playbook from the remote server you can call the command from a command step or script step (as you say).

Regards!

In playbook you only put the file name not the full path. The base path is the location of the playbook.
