[SOLVED] Ansible: Permission denied (publickey, password)

Issue

I'm not able to connect to a host in Ansible. This is the error:

192.168.1.12 | UNREACHABLE! => { "changed": false, "msg": "ERROR! SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH debugging output to help diagnose the issue", "unreachable": true }

This is my hosts file:

[test]
192.168.1.12

And this is the ad-hoc instruction:

ansible all -m ping

I'm able to connect via raw ssh.

Solution

By default Ansible try to use SSH keys. It seems that you have wrong keys. Try to use Password authentication.

ansible all -m ping --ask-pass --ask-sudo-pass

I Hope it helps.
