Run against localhost

1. Create a test_localhost.yml playbook.

   - name: Gather and print local facts
     hosts: localhost
     become: true
     gather_facts: true
     tasks:
   
      - name: Print facts
        ansible.builtin.debug:
         var: ansible_facts
   

2. Run the playbook inside the postgresql_ee EE.

   ansible-navigator run test_localhost.yml --execution-environment-image postgresql_ee --mode stdout --pull-policy missing --container-options='--user=0'
   

You may notice the facts being gathered are about the container and not the developer machine. This is because the ansible playbook was run inside the container.

Run against a remote target

Before you start, ensure you have the following:

• At least one IP address or resolvable hostname for a remote target.
• Valid credentials for the remote host.
• A user with sudo permissions on the remote host.

Execute a playbook inside the postgresql_ee EE against a remote host machine as in the following example:

1. Create a directory for inventory files.

   mkdir inventory
   

2. Create the hosts.yml inventory file in the inventory directory.

   all:
     hosts:
       192.168.0.2  # Replace with the IP of your target host
   

3. Create a test_remote.yml playbook.

   - name: Gather and print facts
     hosts: all
     become: true
     gather_facts: true
     tasks:
   
      - name: Print facts
        ansible.builtin.debug:
         var: ansible_facts
   

4. Run the playbook inside the postgresql_ee EE.

   Replace student with the appropriate username. Some arguments in the command can be optional depending on your target host authentication method.

   ansible-navigator run test_remote.yml -i inventory --execution-environment-image postgresql_ee:latest --mode stdout --pull-policy missing --enable-prompts -u student -k -K
