It's possible to use ansible on encrypted HDs?

[satonotdead]

I'm using a different port on ssh so I added ansible_port=X to inventory/hosts but I can't install and I suspect it's related to encrypted HD on the server.

I am missing something or I need to modify some scripts to get all working?

Thanks for your time and this fantastic tool 🙏

I don't think it's related to your encrypted hard disk.

You're not telling us what the error message is, but it's most likely SSH connectivity/credentials related.

Thanks for your following up. Sorry, the error is fully related to SSH connection -> Permission denied (publickey)

I'm using a different port to SSH on normal user with sudo privileges on server and localhost. The ansible user it's not root but it's setted up without a password because I turned it off to avoid bruteforce attacks.

Do I need to use a mandatory password in different user than root?

That's more of an ansible problem.

You can set up ssh to not allow root to login with a password, but still have a root password set.

Thanks for your following up. I'm OK if I understand this method allows to use Ansible without using become?

That's what I though when I see connection issues but I just want to be sure :)
