Hi everyone, short summary: I have a playbook from where I wanna start other playbooks hosted on Bitbucket. In short words: Got a server and want to clone repository on Bitbucket where are all the other playbooks which I want to run on the remote server. ` ---

There is a git module for this purpose which may work better for you. [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/git\_module.html#git-module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/git_module.html#git-module) ---

Hi Michael, thanks for your answer. I’m already using it, it’s in the first code block above. Best ---

Sorry, yes, too early for clear thinking. 😉 I was thinking of ansible-pull. I know Brian Coca that frequents this forum had a github or galaxy entry on the subject some time ago but I can’t seem to find it. But this is a good reference (or you can just do a ‘man ansible-pull’): [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/ansible-pull.1.html](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/ansible-pull.1.html) ---

Good morning then! 🙂 I’ll take a look. The weird thing is following: The remote server is cloning the files (checked it manually if they’re there) but with “include\_tasks” or “import\_playbook” I’m not able to execute the playbooks lying around there. ---

Yeah I have not tried to execute a playbook like that so I don’t have anything to offer there. I’ve done your exact scenerio though using ansible-pull to run a playbook from my BitBucket repo. ---

Okay, going to take a look on it - thanks. Do you know if it’s possible to use pull on Ansible AWX? ---

Yes, AWX let you use any kind of remote repo as a data source. Although I have not used it in a couple of years. ---

Ansible CANNOT read the files on the remote as part of the playbook, you need to either check them out on the controller (git + delegate\_to: localhost) or 'fetch' them via the module with the same name. AWX will just checkout that repo onto the AWX machine and run Ansible 'locally' on those files, either way works ---
