Ansible:ping fails

[tomsnj]

It looks like ansible:ping is trying to set the user as root on the nodes when it runs based on the auth.log. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Do I need to add root to //etc//sudoers? I have no problems up until this point in the procedure.

I am not sure why this isn't working for you but you can force ansible to try and ping via your user...

https://github.com/onedr0p/flux-cluster-template/blob/main/.taskfiles/AnsibleTasks.yml#L48-L52

Change to something like

  ping:
    desc: Ping all the hosts
    dir: "{{.ANSIBLE_DIR}}"
    cmds:
      - ansible all -i {{.ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_DIR}}/hosts.yml -u YOURUSERNAME --one-line -m 'ping'

The user should be picked up from your vars but in your case it is unable to.

Thank you for the help. The problem fixed itself after I rebooted all of my VMs. I think I accidentally left a VM running with the same IP as one of the hosts, and that might have been the root of the problem. In any case, I appreciate the help.
