I installed nginx manually on my server, I started it to see if everything right then I "stopped" it.
Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2022-12-15 02:58:37 EST; 7min ago
I am now using an ansible playbook to start it from my local computer but I get this error
fatal: [jo]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unable to start service nginx: Failed to start nginx.service: Connection timed out\nSee system logs and 'systemctl status nginx.service' for details.\n"}
I don't understand, I am able to run nginx manually on the server but I can't do it remotely with ansible.
I created a user "john" who has sudo privilleges
john@testingserver:~$ cat /etc/passwd | grep john
john:x:1001:1001::/home/john:/bin/bash
john@testingserver:~$ groups john
john : john sudo
this is task file
