I have a shell script ./install-agent.sh and wish to run it on Ansible; how do I run it?

Hi. You can write a playbook that uses the ansible.builtin.script module.

$ cat playbook.yml
---
- name: Playbook that runs a shell script.
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: Run shell script
      ansible.builtin.script: install-agent.sh

You can run the playbook with the ansible-playbook command.

$ ansible-playbook playbook.yml

I would even suggest using the script action as that will copy the script to the target machine, run it and clean up after itself. ansible.builtin.script module – Runs a local script on a remote node after transferring it — Ansible Community Documentation
