Playbook fails during "ensuring hms-docker role"

[arthurdouillard]

Hello, thanks for this repo!

I'm pretty noob to ansible & co, and the playbook crashes w/o giving me much information (even with -vvv).

I'm on an Ubuntu server 20.04, fresh install, and filled all mandatory fields in the advanced config except VPN (do I really need a VPN for transmission?).

What can I do to fix that? Googling didn't help much.

Sorry if the question is stupid. Thanks again!

Yes you need a VPN since I believe the transmission container requires it.

The verbose output you've provided doesn't seem to be outputting anything helpful other than "module failure" which I haven't seen before, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Can you try running with -vvvv or maybe even -vvvvv to get more verbose output?

Does the user you're running the Ansible command under have sudo/root privileges?

[arthurdouillard]

Thanks for the answer!

Yes you need a VPN since I believe the transmission container requires it.

Ok, I've setup a VPN then.

Does the user you're running the Ansible command under have sudo/root privileges?

Yes, I've given full root permission to the user I'm running the command from.

Can you try running with -vvvv or maybe even -vvvvv to get more verbose output?

This adds more logs to the tasks BUT the failing task, where I get the same unhelpful error message.

FYI, I've only modified the file ./vars/default.yml and nothing else. Am I doing something wrong?

[ahembree]

Hmmm it seems to be failing to import the role in general, it's not failing on a specific task within the role which is making it harder to narrow down.

Was Ansible installed to a virtualenv or anything? The only things I'm coming across online seem to point to python/Ansible installation issues

[arthurdouillard]

Ok that seemed to be the problem!

I've forced update ansible (sudo pip3 install ansible --upgrade) and now this steps works.

It seems my services are yet not up but that's probably a mistake of mine. I'll try to debug that.

Thank you for your swift and useful help!
