# ansible-lxc-ssh | ||
Ansible connection plugin using ssh + lxc-attach | ||
|
||
## Description | ||
|
||
This plugin allows to use Ansible on a remote server hosting LXC containers, | ||
without having to install SSH servers in each LXC container. | ||
|
||
The plugin connects to the host using SSH, then uses `lxc-attach` to enter the | ||
container. This means the SSH connection must login as `root`, otherwise | ||
`lxc-attach` will fail. | ||
|
||
## Configuration | ||
|
||
Add to `ansible.cfg`: | ||
``` | ||
[defaults] | ||
connection_plugins = /path/to/connection_plugins/lxc_ssh | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Then, modify your `hosts` file to use the `lxc_ssh` transport: | ||
``` | ||
container ansible_host=server ansible_connection=lxc_ssh ansible_ssh_extra_args=container | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## notes | ||
|
||
* I haven't found any proper method to access the 'inventory_name' from the connection plugin, so I used 'ansible_ssh_extra_args' to store the name of the container. | ||
