I have a playbook that runs a PowerShell script to configure an Octopus Deploy Tentacle.
If I run this PowerShell script on the server it works perfectly. If I run playbook with the PowerShell script it fails on the server.
What could possibly be causing this? Permissions? Timing out?
Playbook:
---
- name: Configure Octopus Deploy Tentecle
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Configure Octopus Deploy Tentecle
script: files/octo_autoconfig.ps1
PowerShell script:
& "C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Tentacle\Tentacle.exe" create-instance --instance "Tentacle" --config "C:\Octopus\Tentacle.config" --console;
& "C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Tentacle\Tentacle.exe" new-certificate --instance "Tentacle" --if-blank --console;
& "C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Tentacle\Tentacle.exe" configure --instance "Tentacle" --reset-trust --console;
& "C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Tentacle\Tentacle.exe" configure --instance "Tentacle" --home "C:\Octopus" --app "C:\Octopus\Applications" --port "10933" --noListen "False" --console;
& "C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Tentacle\Tentacle.exe" configure --instance "Tentacle" --trust "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --console;
& "C:\Program Files\Octopus Deploy\Tentacle\Tentacle.exe" service --instance "Tentacle" --install --start --console;
Error I get when I try open Octopus Tentacle after running the playbook to config Octopus:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Octopus.Tools.TentacleConfiguration.TentacleManager.TentacleManagerModel.Reload(ApplicationInstanceRecord applicationInstance) in y:\work\refs\heads\master\source\Octopus.Tools\TentacleConfiguration\TentacleManager\TentacleManagerModel.cs:line 131
at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs)
at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate callback, Object args, Int32 numArgs, Delegate catchHandler)
Note that if I run the PowerShell script directly on the server it works perfectly and configures the tentacle. If I then remove the tentacle and then run the playbook it works. So its as if the tentacle needs to be configured first directly on the server before an Ansible playbook can work. Which kind of defeats the point.
I had a look at the event viewer of the server and there were a few Access Denied errors, like the one below.
Is there a way of running this script with a specific admin user so that there is no access denied errors?
