Solvedansible Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password)

192.168.1.113 | UNREACHABLE! => {
    "changed": false, 
    "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password).\r\n", 
    "unreachable": true
}

I have this error I use Debian Stretch and a guest manjaro in virtualbox.

Good,
It's a bit hard to debug when you specify all in your command.

Comment all lines in your hosts file add this line

[webserver]
35.165.79.66 ansible_user=ubuntu 

and try to run :

$: ansible webserver -m ping -vvv

And show me the output.

Generate the ssh key on the master node:

root@master:~# ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "name@example.org"

Then copy your public key to the servers with ssh-copy-id:

root@master:~# ssh-copy-id user@child1.dev
root@master:~# ssh-copy-id user@child2.dev

I got this informations on this website https://valdhaus.co/writings/ansible-post-install/ and it is working

Hi,
I have found the solution.
If you are using ami(ubuntu 16) OS then there is no python installed, so you need to install it. Use below command to install python -

sudo apt-get install python-minimal -y

or

you need to use ami(ubuntu 14)OS. It has python 2.7.

Note : confirm which version of OS you have in your system.

I was getting the same problem:

$ ansible local -m ping
127.0.0.1 | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password).\r\n",
"unreachable": true
}

Solved the issue by installing sshpass using command:

sudo apt-get install sshpass

After installng sshpass, I executed this command:

ansible local -m ping --ask-pass
SSH password:
127.0.0.1 | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
```
Hope this helps!!!

Thanks.
From your output, I see that you don't have any ansible_user specified :

<35.165.79.66> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: None

Cat you show the content of your inventory file too ?
