Added the 'ssh_args = -F /dev/null' line to the Ansible configuration.

Vitaliy Kukharik requested to merge ssh-args into main

This Merge Request introduces a change to the Ansible configuration by adding 'ssh_args = -F /dev/null'. This addition forces SSH to ignore its configuration file when Ansible connects to the hosts.

The need for this change arose from a compatibility issue we encountered. When Ansible, run within a Docker container, read the host machine's mounted SSH config, it resulted in SSH errors due to unrecognized macOS specific options (like 'usekeychain') within the Linux environment of the Docker container.

This update enhances our Ansible playbooks' compatibility across different environments by preventing potential SSH errors caused by host-specific SSH configurations.

Fixed:

docker run --rm -it -v $HOME/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro postgresai/dle-se-ansible:v1.0-rc.3 \ 
  ansible-playbook deploy_dle.yml --extra-vars \
    "dle_host='root@5.78.111.74' \
    dle_platform_project_name='vitaliy-dle-test' \
    dle_version='3.4.0-rc.6' \
    dle_platform_org_key='******' \
    dle_verification_token='*********'"
