pimvh / add_github_hostkeys

Ansible role to add SSH hostkeys for Github

Requirements

1. Ansible installed:

sudo apt install python3
python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade
pip3 install ansible

Why such a small role?

I found myself repeating this small piece of logic in several playbooks. I though it would be easier to do it once, and include it everywhere else.

Required variables

Review the variables as shown in defaults.

The ansible playbook will validate whether the variables exist that you defined before running.

Example playbook

hosts:
  - foo
roles:
  - pimvh.add_github_hostkeys

TLDR - What will happen if I run this

• Add the hostkeys of GitHub fetch via the API to the systems known_host file (/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts) specified in the passed list.
