Notes
Failed to set permissions on the temporary files Ansible needs to create when becoming an unprivileged user
If you get an error similar to:
fatal: [ponsfrilus]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Failed to set permissions on the temporary files Ansible needs to create when becoming an unprivileged user (rc: 1, err: chown: changing ownership of '/var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1586959025.216097-122038295697183/': Operation not permitted\nchown: changing ownership of '/var/tmp/ansible-tmp-1586959025.216097-122038295697183/AnsiballZ_stat.py': Operation not permitted\n}). For information on working around this, see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/become.html#becoming-an-unprivileged-user"}
be sure that the acl package is installed on the host.
It's also can be workarounded with an ansible.cfg file in the project's root, with:
[defaults]
allow_world_readable_tmpfiles=true
Available tags
Docker
./alexsible -i inventory/hosts.yml playbook.yml -t docker
Services
./alexsible -i inventory/hosts.yml playbook.yml -t services
