  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/install.yml -i <my-host>, -u <user> --key-file <path-to-key-file>
  

  Example:

  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/install.yml -i node.gear.rs, -u root --key-file ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  

• Using a root user login/password for SSH access:

  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/install.yml -i <my-host>, -u <user> -k
  

  Example:

  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/install.yml -i node.gear.rs, -u root -k
  

Remove Gear node

• Preferred way: Using a private key file for SSH access:

  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/remove.yml -i <my-host>, -u <user> --key-file <path-to-key-file>
  

  Example:

  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/remove.yml -i node.gear.rs, -u root --key-file ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  

• Using a root user login/password for SSH access:

  ansible-playbook ansible/gear-node/remove.yml -i <my-host>, -u <user> -k
