Ubuntu Desktop on Parallels for Mac

ansible-playbook -i 192.168.64.1, parallels_ubuntu_desktop.yml --ask-pass --ask-become-pass

Notes:

The comma after the IP addr tells to ansible-playbook command that the string is a list of hosts, not a filename.
To avoid type passwords repeatedly, create a inventory file with 600 permission and write 192.168.64.5 ansible_become_pass=passwd to the file. Then, pass the file with -i flag.

Enable Chrome Remote Desktop

Go to this page on google.com and get the command to enable CRD. I found the page in this post. I couldn't find any official information from Google. But it's hosted on google.com.

/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host --code="abcdefg" --redirect-url="https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect" --name=

I think this command restart CRD host automatically. But in case you can not see the new server in CRD client, try

sudo service chrome-remote-desktop restart

Misc

Skip git repository rules

If ansible-playbook failed because some git repositories have pending repositories, pass --skip-tags git to ansible-playbook to skip git: rules.

apt_key.id param

To get the value oto set apt_key.id param, install a key with sudo apt-key add then find the key info with apt-key list.

pub   rsa4096 2017-02-22 [SCEA]
      9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A  E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid           [ unknown] Docker Release (CE deb) <docker@docker.com>
sub   rsa4096 2017-02-22 [S]

Extract the last few sections of pub and remove white spaces to create a value of apt_key.id param (e.g. "8D81803C0EBFCD88", "0EBFCD88").
