# ssh-copy-id

This role provides the ability to authorize remote systems for passwordless

SSH authentication.

This role is helpful when you have a remote machine you want to use by

ansible and wish to use SSH key based authentication. It will handle setting

the SSH keys on the remote machine allowing you to create an ansible inventory

file with the remote machine. Then you can easily call any ansible playbook

against the remote machine.

## Role Variables

Below are the available varaibles you will need to supply to the role.

| Variable | Description |

| --- | --- |

| hostname | remote system to connect to (FQDN or IP) |

| username | username to connect to remote system |

| password | password to connect to remote system |

| ssh_public_key | public key file (absolute path) to set into remote system |

| port | SSH port to connect to |

## Example Playbook

This example play below demonstrates ansible setting up passwordless SSH

authentication on a user supplied remote machine that currently does not have

SSH key based authentication configured.

```yaml

---

- name: configure passwordless ssh authentication on a remote machine

  hosts: localhost

  roles:

    - role: ryankwilliams.ssh_copy_id

      vars:

        hostname: 127.0.0.1

        username: username

        password: password

        ssh_public_key: /home/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

        hetzner_storagebox: true

        ssh_port: 22

```
