Hi Folks, I am stuck and need help with my ansible playbook. I created a playbook that will configure a vm image for me on AWS, QEMU, or VMware, and the playbook is triggered by vagrant or packer. When I run the playbook locally, it works fine to create/configure the images. I wanted to automate t…

There can be multiple pythons, make sure the one executing Ansible is the same one that has passlib installed On one side you are showing python3 but Ansible is specifically using python 3.10 from a venv (/opt/pipx/venvs/ansible-core/bin/python), those might not be the same.

Thanks Brian. I install python3 + passlib from within the playbook and try to set the interpreter for the playbook. See the following: - name: Install Python3 apt: pkg: - python3 - python3-pip - python3-passlib become: true environment: DEBIAN_FRONTEND: noninteracti…

Setting the interpreter ONLY affects module execution, not any other plugin as they always use the interpreter Ansible itself was installed under. passowrd_hash is a lookup plugin, which runs in Jinja, executed inside Ansible, not a module, so setting the interpreter won’t affect it. Ansible is us…

I install passlib and dependencies when using GHA like this: ansible-role-hardening/.github/workflows/molecule.yml at c62d9d4254cdf0dffdc63c28354a6a7c861199ed · konstruktoid/ansible-role-hardening · GitHub - name: Install system dependencies run: | sudo apt-get update …

Apologies for reviving this thread but I have been having the same issues of trying to get ansible to use passlib on the client machine. Host Machine 07:57:29 in ansible ➜ ansible --version ansible [core 2.17.5] config file = None configured module search path = ['/home/user/.ansible/plugins/mo…

You should not mix python packages from apt and from the system’s pip. The warning below is pretty explicit about that. Reinstantiate the VM and use one strategy only. Probably apt is the easiest in this case. Dick

Hi, Thank you for that. I have reinitialized the vm and installed passlib using apt. root@instance:/# dpkg -l | grep passlib root@instance:/# pip3 show passlib WARNING: Package(s) not found: passlib root@instance:/# apt install python3-passlib Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree…

What is the task that you’re executing?

I want to add a user - name: Add the user to the system ansible.builtin.user: name: "{{ new_username }}" shell: /bin/bash groups: sudo append: yes create_home: yes uid: "{{ user_uid | default(omit) }}" password: "{{ user_password | password_hash('sha512') }}" when: n…

Solution I have been to find a solution to this. All this time I had been installing passlib in the client machine and also played with custom filter_plugins. I then decided to install passlib on the ansible host/controller machine and what do you know it works. TLDR; Installing passlib on the ansi…
