Ansible & Vagrant: deploy in local and production with same playbook -

i've been working in recipe vagrant+virtualbox+ansible lately. have issues want reuse code of recipe able provision not local staging , production environment. playbook is:

- hosts:   sudo: true   pre_tasks:   roles:     - common     - webserver     - database     - php   post_tasks: 

and vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*- # vi: set ft=ruby :  vagrantfile_api_version = "2"  vagrant.configure(vagrantfile_api_version) |config|   config.vm.box = "ubuntu/precise64"   config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.10.10.101"   config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "nfs"    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" |vb|     vb.gui = true     vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "512"]     vb.name = "testing"   end    config.vm.provision :ansible |ansible|     ansible.playbook = "playbook.yml"     ansible.limit    = "local"         ansible.inventory_path = "./inventory"   end end 

so happens? if run

$ vagrant 

everything works fine if run

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml --limit production 

(where production group in inventory remote ip on ovh)

it fails because playbook need

user:root 

parameter, if put parameter on playbook, fails when run

$ vagrant provision 

i know making yml local , remote finish issue, prefer more elegant solution.

any ideas?

thanks

you can customize ssh user per host in inventory using group vars:

in group_vars/local:

ansible_ssh_user: vagrant 

in group_vars/production:

ansible_ssh_user: root 

also consider using separate inventory files vagrant , production. doesn't allow run things on both envs @ once, that's hardly common use case, , it's safer.
