Setup machine

Create machine (Macbook chip M1/M2)

Download UTM (https://mac.getutm.app)
After that install a distribution (https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/). I chose Archlinux ARM, because it's very light

Configure ssh

On your virtual machine(Managed Node), you could create a new user likewise root use, and configure a ssh for his home folder like this:

$ adduser new_username
$ passwd new_username
$ mkdir - /home/new_username/.ssh
$ su - new_username 
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 521 (install ssh before, if it's not the case)
$ cat .ssh/userkey.pub | tee /home/new_username/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ chown -R nom_user:new_username /home/new_username/.ssh/
$ journalctl --since "15 minutes ago" _COMM=sshd (to inspect ssh connexion log)

On your Control Node
- Create too ssh, like on the Managed Node
```
  $ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -b 521
```
- after that you can check that your Control Node, communicate with your Managed Node
```
$ ssh new_username@Managed_node_IP (you must specify the user new_username password) 
```
- If it's fine you could export your ssh key, from Control Node to Managed Node
```
$ ssh-copy-id new_username@Managed_node_IP
```
- You could verify in Managed Node, that the public key is add in file /home/new_username/.ssh/authorized_keys like this
```
$ cat /home/new_username/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
Verify that from your Control Node, you can communicate with ansible to a Managed Node
- Install python ton Managed Node, if it's not the case
- Use this command, from Control Node
```
$ ansible -i "Managed_node_IP," all -m ping
```
You can named the Managed Node, by modifying a ssh config file
- verify that, file .ssh/confg exist
- Modifying it, like this
```
HOST node_name
Hostname Managed_node_IP
USER new_username
```
- Now you can, connect to a Managed Node with ssh like this
```
$ ssh new_username@node_name
```
