ansible-sshkeys

This is a simple playbook that copies your public SSH keys to remote systems, you could use this either with a public key already on the system or specify the password via the -e parameter below.

Setup

• Clone Ansible repository

git clone https://github.com/sadsfae/ansible-sshkeys
cd ansible-sshkeys

• Add the names of your servers to the inventory file under the servers inventory group.

vi hosts

[servers]
host01.example.com
host02.example.com

• By default this will copy id_rsa.pub found in your local user home directory where you run Ansible.

• Add any additional public SSH keys as needed

  • copy (append) your pubkey to install/roles/sshkeys/files/authorized_keys

cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> install/roles/sshkeys/files/authorized_keys

Running the Thing

• Run playbook, pass -e "ansible_ssh_pass=PASSWORD" for the default root password.

ansible-playbook -i hosts install/sshkeys.yml -e "ansible_ssh_pass=PASSWORD"

• Alternatively, if you already have your public key on remote systems but want to copy a bunch of other keys then just run ansible-playbook without the -e parameter.
