[Ansible FAQs] The following modules failed to execute: ansible.legacy.setup
The following modules failed to execute: ansible.legacy.setup
Ansible is a powerful tool for automation, but sometimes running it on older systems can present challenges. Recently, while working with servers running Ubuntu 18.04, I encountered issues with the ansible.legacy.setup
module failing to execute. This was primarily due to the outdated Python versions on these servers, which are not supported by the latest versions of Ansible.
Ubuntu 18.04, being an older distribution, does not appear in the Ubuntu Python 3 packages page. The core of the problem lies in the compatibility between the Python versions on these older servers and the Ansible versions being deployed.
