Put your own RSA Key

Before use Ansible create your own RSA key and copy/mount/build it into container:

Generate RSA Keys pair: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

Copy id_rsa.pub and id_rsa into container /root/.ssh folder and set the correct permissions:

chmod 700 /root/.ssh
chmod 600 /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /root/.ssh/id_rsa

Authorize Ansible Target Host to accept Ansible Server connection

#Make Ansible User Sudoers
sudo usermod -aG sudo ansible
sudo echo "ansible   ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/000-ansible
