I love your book! It's teaching me that even after a couple weeks everything's so broken that nothing works like it used to. Every one of the playbooks I try to run has error after error. Great troubleshooting practice 😂
We have a saying in Amateur Radio -- Volts jolt, mills kill. It's not the voltage that gets you, it's the current. Just a few milliamps of current across your chest can stop your heart. Glad you are still with us :-)
Really enjoyed this series - even got the book and look forward to working through it. I also enjoyed your Kubernettes series too and look forward to that book being completed ;) Keep up the good work Jeff
Great tutorial series! Thank you! For anyone who want to follow the steps on the video, when using vagrant provision you need to also edit the Vagrantfile and add ansible.inventory_path = "inventory" under the config.vm.provision line. Jeff referenced this in the issue but not in the video.
Am on your Learning Doc for Ansible for DevOps The Document is something which we can prefer to start with Ansible. Thanks Much for your Clear draft on he Content of Ansible. Thanks Jeff
Might've been the main switch then. I distinctly remember I was messing with the bank of connectors that attached to the front panel of the machine-while it was running. Ha, lesson learned.
This video also puts on full display how thorough Jeff is though. I agree, unnecessarily complicated setup and at the end, you get to manage a windows machine.
I suppose this goes for all your videos- but since you brought up Vagrant installing an old version if you do a direct apt-get, if I simply put in a different repo into the repositories file, can I do it that way? Or does it HAVE to be manual to get the most recent version?
I got out of Windows administration back with Server 2003. I've done Windows administration since then, but begrudgingly. I'd love to hear if there are reasons to use WinRM over OpenSSH at this point. I've set up WinRM a couple of times. It looks like there are 4 different options for securing the connection, and at least one of them is laughably terrible. But the rest seem like a pain to set up.
When looking to design playbooks for both windows and linux, is it best practice to have a single role to "install software X" that is compatible with all linux and windows versions with code designed to determine OS and select a set of tasks, or is it better to have a role for say, windows installs and then a separate role for linux installs of softare x?
Ansible is written in Python, however it relies on many things that may or may not work correctly under Python in Windows. It was written in (and is tested in) a POSIX environment, so there are many things that don't quite work right if you install it natively in Windows.
@@JeffGeerling Thanks for confirmation. That what we thought. We've been using WSL2 for a while now and it's working fine. We target both linux (ssh) and windows (winrm) hosts. We've also managed to set up molecule with docker (from wsl2!) and also testinfra. It's working fine and pretty fast thus excellent for dev.
Hi. Is there a way to connect my Ansible playbooks to a created gui application on my windows 10 desktop so when I click a button on the application a playbook will be executed automatically. Note that I installed Ubuntu 20.04 TLS where I created all my Ansible playbooks. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing Jeff, I don't use windows, I'm Linux all day every day! I will only see this episode for you :)
No, I could not do it ! Jumped from Install WSL2 and Ansible to Ansible 101 series discussion
If you felt the electric shock, it was NOT 12 volts!
It was either the capacitors or perhaps the main switch, back when the PSU were different.

Great video, reminds me why I avoid windows like the plague
This video also puts on full display how thorough Jeff is though. I agree, unnecessarily complicated setup and at the end, you get to manage a windows machine.
Instead of restarting Ubuntu to refresh PATH, just run 'source ~/.profile' to reread your shell config file.
If you're finding this in 2022, no, it's not any easier now. I gave up and used Docker.

Great Video , but i need urgently to know how to automate joining domain computers to specified domain groups !?
Hello good day . Please can you tell me where I can buy the components. Thank you. keep making videos to turn on a lot, greetings

Is there a way to manage or control windows SCCM using ansible?
Ansible being written mostly in Python, why do you prefer WSL rather than Python setup on windows?
Ansible is written in Python, however it relies on many things that may or may not work correctly under Python in Windows. It was written in (and is tested in) a POSIX environment, so there are many things that don't quite work right if you install it natively in Windows.

Can we connect a VM having only private IP using ansible
Fun fact: All computers had up to 24 volts (most still does) +12 volts and -12 volts = 24 volts
chdir is the Windows equivalent to cd on linux based systems. I stick with cd.
Sadly still having issues with this :( Super frustrating aaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhh
it's not "uh-bun-too"... it's "oo-boon-too"...
You-bun-too!
@@JeffGeerling 😂
How to setup ansible for windows..... don't very usefull.
HI Jeff, I sent you an e-mail regards this topic, if you can reply please.
