Running Ansible on your remote machine


It is possible to have ansible installed on the remote machine and run it there, not just from your local machine connecting to the remote machine.

Your hosts file will need to use localhost, and whenever you run playbooks with ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml, you will need to add -c local to your command.

Be certain that the playbook that you’re writing on the remote machine is stored somewhere safe, like your user home directory, or backed up on your local machine. The cloud can be unreliable and things can disappear at any time.
