I have ansible engine running on server 1 and Jenkins running on server2. Is there a way to execute the playbook from the Jenkins server using any of the plugins.

Can you login to Server1(Ansible) from Server2 (Jenkins) using SSH and execute command ansible? Or can Server1(Ansible) be converted into a Jenkins Slave, connect it with Jenkins (Server2) and configure your job to run on Server1 where ansible is installed.

  • So the First approach which you are suggesting is like using "Execute shell on remote server" and In the second approach we will have an extra overhead of having a slave Jenkins. Is there any Better or efficient way? – saket thaploo Mar 27 '20 at 12:00
  • Yes, either user "Execute shell on remote server" or execute ssh command using "Execute Shell". If you are using Jenkins Pipeline, you can use "sh"/"sshagent" under "steps". Something like mentioned below GitHub repo: https://gist.github.com/mrhockeymonkey/adf7a462982340cdad2ef4f65b481227 Better approach is having Ansible installed on Jenkins server itself :) – saurabh14292 Mar 27 '20 at 12:26
