One step closer to distributed install #2528

Closed alf-cactus closed 2 weeks ago

alf-cactus commented 2 weeks ago

It is still not possible to complete a distributed installation. These changes however bring us one step closer

tests are only conducted on the host they are designed for
use ansible copy for remote and synchronize for remote host

Non-distributed install tested successfully

In case of local installation you use synchronize, else if you use distributed installation you use copy. This behavior is created with when: inventory_hostname ==(!=) 'localhost'

synchronize has this limitation: Currently, synchronize is limited to elevating permissions via passwordless sudo. This is because rsync itself is connecting to the remote machine and rsync doesn’t give us a way to pass sudo credentials in.

That makes it unsuited for distributed installations
