Add Ansible-Server where Ansible is hosted to hosts

Is there a possibility to add the server, where Ansible is running to the hostfile and maintain it also through Ansible playbooks?

Thanks in advance.

The implicit localhost using the local connection plugin is available by default. Meanwhile it does not match the all group (nor any other actually).

So you can either:

  • target it explicitly in your play, e.g. hosts: host_a:group_b:localhost
  • define it explicitly in your inventory so it matches the all group if you use it, e.g. (ini format) localhost ansible_connection=local

Note that the second option can work with any symbolic name you decide to use e.g. my.host.local ansible_connection=local
