Remove the -i

scp /home/admin/alfresco-ansible-deployment-1.0.zip admin@192.168.241.138:/home/admin/

Once you have Ansible installed on your target machine you can review my notes

I solver this problem.I forgot to run this command under root.

Now there is another problem when i try to install alfresco and use this command

ansible-playbook playbooks/acs.yml -i inventory_local.yml -e "@community-extra-vars.yml"

Your postgresql is not working properly. Check this thread, you have some options to see exactly the error (and possible solutions!).

In general: try to start up only that process, check the PostgreSQL's log files and see what is happening (the real error).

Thanks and there is another problem appeared .The libre office had been installed.But installator can't verify it.

I install it under root.Maybe i should install it under user with superuser rights?

I installed it sucessfully.But i can't open alfresco site http://192.168.241.138/share from another computer .

But i cant open this site from localhost(where i installed alfresco).

i have windows 10 installed with vmware .I installed centos and alfresco .And i can open alfrescro from centos but i can't open it from windows 10.

What file i must edit to open the access to other computers?

And could you tell me commands to install ssh on alfresco or give me a link to install it ?

Re: installation alfresco using ansible

http://192.168.241.138/share

With that IP address your alfresco will be accessible to all other machine within LAN.

To expose it over the internet you need to have server with public ip then you will be able to access it over internet using that public ip.

Do this quick test: check from centros this website to know what is your public ip. Try to access using that one.

But, there is a problem here: as soon as you'll restart your router your public ip provably will change. I'll recommend you to configure a SSL + mod_jk. But in this topic @afaust can help better.

No i can't enter my server from another computer.I saw my ip address.I can enter alfresco from centos using ip address

but i can't enter alfresco from windows 10(other computer)

Maybe i should choose single machine installation instead of local installation?Or local installation should work too?

Hi @marat

Great that you have it working. Would you like to accept this as a solution?

Also, feel free to create a thread explaining the steps you took to get it to work - that would be really helpful to other users.

Cheers,
