Hey, I am loving Ansible and it works beautifully with Vagrant and Ubuntu 14.04. However, I have been trying to get it to provision a remote server (also Ubuntu 14.04). I am using a Mac running the latest El Capitan and Ansible 2.1 installed via Homebrew. My playbook was generated with Phansible (I replaced all instances of “sudo” to “become”). `ansible --version ansible 2.1.0.0 config file = /Users/andy/Sites/prints.dev/ansible.cfg configured module search path = Default w/o overrides` Running the following command: `ansible-playbook -vvvv -i ansible/inventories/test ansible/playbook.yml` Produces the following in my log file: ` 2016-06-24
