SatNOGS installation enquiry

SatNOGS Software
1

I am new to SatNOG an i am trying to install the client, i have been following the guide in SatNOGS Client Ansible - SatNOGS Wiki
But when i reach the line

$ vi production/inventory/hosts

I got this code

all:
hosts:
satnogs:
ansible_host: ‘10.20.30.40’
ansible_user: ‘pi’
ansible_ssh_pass: ‘rb’
ansible_ssh_pipelining: true
satnogs-setups:
hosts:
satnogs:
satnogs-radios:
hosts:
satnogs:
hamlib-utils:
hosts:
satnogs:
satnogs-clients:
hosts:
satnogs:
snmpds:
hosts:
satnogs:

At this stage I am unable to write anything and is at a lost on how to proceed from here. Is this correct? If it is how am I suppose to proceed from here?

I am using a linux PC with an ubuntu 14.04 LTS O.S

Welcome to SatNOGS! As the guide you referenced says:

vi production/inventory/hosts

Update file with your own target host e.g. 127.0.0.1, user and SSH password

Do you have a file permissions issue perhaps? If so,

sudo chown -R satnogs ~/satnogs-client-ansible

Substitue ‘satnogs’ with your username.

I was able to solve it it was due to not using the insert button.

But i have another problem when trying to run the play book command

ansible-playbook -i production/inventory/hosts -K site.yml

I end up with this error

Executing playbook site.yml

  • satnogs-setups -
    Gathering Facts…
    [WARNING]: Failure using method (v2_runner_on_unreachable) in callback plugin

    to retry, use: --limit @/home/chowkw/satnogs-client-ansible/site.retry
  • Play recap -
    satnogs : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=1 failed=0

I have search google and the forums but is unable to find anything that fits

In addition, I have changed my O.S to debian 10

Thank you

I was able the resolve the issue, I enter the host wrongly during

vi production/inventory/hosts

After changing that and some other hiccup like setuptool not being installed I managed to get it working
