If you are trying to run Ansible Adhoc commands or playbook in Local mode, these articles will help you.

Ansible can’t run playbooks locally without ssh if ansible_connection=local is defined in the hosts file, although it can run playbooks locally without ssh with connection: local in the playbook or with flag –connection=local.

# # # # # # # # # # # # Method 1 # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

[code]ansible 127.0.0.1 -m file -a “dest=/opt/a.txt mode=600 state=touch”
ansible 127.0.0.1 -m file -a “dest=/opt/a.txt mode=600 state=file”[/code]

# # # # # # # # # # # # Method 2 # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
