fatal error using ansible playbook

[jhb2]

Hello,

I'm using the ansible playbook to deploy vespAI, on the control node when I launch :

ansible-playbook /home/jhb/vespai/vespai-git/deploy/rpi-playbook.yml --inventory=192.168.1.60, --extra-vars "user=jhb vespai_repo=https://github.com/andrw3000/vespai.git vespai_branch=ansible-deployment"

I got:

PLAY [all] *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The fatal error is of course the issue, what can I do to suppress it?

Thank you.

Hi - apologies - this was probably due to a slighty misleading example I gave in the deployment README. The branch name that was used in the example was from my forked repo, where I was making the edits for pull-request #3.

Now that the PR is merged to this repo, the example could be rewritten with:
- <git-repo-branch> is the branch-name (or other git ref) in the git repo, e.g. main

In other words, you could try running:

ansible-playbook deploy/rpi-playbook.yml --inventory=<rpi-host>, --extra-vars "user=<username> vespai_repo=https://github.com/andrw3000/vespai.git vespai_branch=main"

Just created new PR #7 to update README.
