Ansible cannot reach localhost

I created keys with command

ssh-keygen -t rsa

chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys

Then i used command ssh-copy-id [email protected]

Now command ssh 127.0.0.1 doesn't require password. Then i created hosts file for ansible

[staging_servers]

linux_local ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_user=timur ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/home/timur/.ssh/authorized_keys

When i run ansible all -m ping i'm getting error:

If you want just to change something on localhost, there is a better option: use connection: local in the playbook, or use this inventory:

[staging_servers]
linux_local ansible_connection=local

It will completely skip whole ssh thing and run modules directly on the local machine.

Moreover, from my experience, it's the fastest way to run Ansible. If you can afford to mess with local machine, do it, it's a bliss to work with.
