From 4eaf7c7662d8dc34a47cc45ad49a9818520da752 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Griffin Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2013 03:30:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Made some further addendums to README file well as renamed the hosts in the zeromq playbook, and the guests in the Vagrantfile. I could create a local Ansible playbook which would copy public SSH keys to all of the hosts, automatically. --- README.md | 11 +++++++++++ Vagrantfile | 4 ++-- zeromq.yml | 4 +--- 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index ef904fb..d53e143 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -16,4 +16,15 @@ Future Playbooks: * **Ruby** - open source highlevel interprited programming language * **RVM** - open source Ruby version and environment manager +Before running these Ansible playbooks, or any Ansible commands for that matter, it is essential that you have your publick SSH keys copied to your server's `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file.
