Why is ansible-playbook failed? "Failed to find executable k3s: No such file or directory"

[MilenkoMarkovic]

I cloned the repo. I created VMs on my laptop using this Vagrantfile

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.ssh.insert_key = false
  config.ssh.private_key_path = ['~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key', '~/.ssh/id_rsa']
  config.vm.provision "file", source: "~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub", destination: "~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
  (1..3).each do |i|
    config.vm.define "master-#{i}" do |master|
      master.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
    end
  end
  (1..2).each do |i|
    config.vm.define "node-#{i}" do |node|
      node.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
    end
  end

  config.vm.boot_timeout = 600
  config.vm.network "public_network", :bridge => "wlo1"
  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.memory = "3072"
    vb.cpus = "3"

  end
end

I can ssh to all machines.

k3s is installed

VERSION:
   v1.22.5+k3s2

why?

Possible Solution

• I've checked the General Troubleshooting Guide

[MilenkoMarkovic]

How to check if the role k3s/master is installed?

[timothystewart6]

Can you please post everything in the issue template?

[MilenkoMarkovic]

I will try to reproduce it here.

This is similar to #178. Have you tried running the reset task from reset.yml? This is important if something fails initially.

[CountOlaf87]

I'm having the same issue, updated ansible, also cloned the git again, but keep getting the same error...

[fbarrento]

I was abble to fix the issue by changing the destination of the k3s binary download to "/usr/bin/k3s".
