Git clone hangs in Ansible

What I've tried:

1) Copy private key from local machine to server and clone with it:

- name: clone repo
  sudo: yes
  git: repo={{ app_repo }} dest={{ app_repo_dir }} accept_hostkey=true key_file={{ssh_key}} version=master force=yes

But it hangs. As I understand this issue occurs 'cause key has passphrase.

2) Use ForwardAgent in ansible.cfg:

[ssh_connection]
ssh_args = -o ForwardAgent=yes

But for connection to server I use not standard ssh 22 port.

How can I setup passphrase for key for git clone task in Ansible? Or any other ways to clone remote repository using Ansible?

P.S. Yes, I can try to remove passphrase from key. But security aspects...

  1. ~/.ssh/config :

    Host canada.host.xxxx

    HostName canada.host.xxxx

    Port 2233

    User guest

    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa.special

    2. 2.

Copy private key from local machine to server and clone with it:

  • name: clone repo sudo: yes git: repo={{ app_repo }} dest={{ app_repo_dir }} accept_hostkey=true key_file={{ssh_key}}

This is Copy private key from local machine to server and clone with it:

- name: Put artifact to target
  sudo: yes
  copy: src="{{ app_repo_dir }}" dest="{{ app_repo_dir }}"

- name: clone repo
  sudo: yes
  git: repo={{ app_repo }} dest={{ app_repo_dir }} accept_hostkey=true key_file={{ssh_key}} version=master force=yes

PS: Maybe you should use local_action?

ansible-playbook -vvv will show you the problem
