Gathering Facts issue for localhost

The issue can occur on Ansible Semaphore installed via Snap or Docker.

4:10:16 PM
TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
4:10:17 PM
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => changed=false

For more information about localhost use in Ansible, read this article Implicit 'localhost'.

Ansible tries to gather facts locally, but Ansible is located in a limited isolated container which doesn't allow this.

There are two ways:

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: False
  roles:
    - ...

[localhost]
127.0.0.1 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_user=your_localhost_user

This means that your Postgres doesn't work by SSL.

Add option sslmode=disable to the configuration file:

	"postgres": {
		"host": "localhost",
		"user": "pastgres",
		"pass": "pwd",
		"name": "semaphore",
		"options": {
			"sslmode": "disable"
		}
	},

This means that you are trying to access a repository over HTTPS that requires authentication.

Go to Key Store screen.
Create a new key Login with password type.
Specify your login for GitHub/BitBucket/etc.
Specify the password. You can't use your account password for GitHub/BitBucket, you should use a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead of it. Read more here.
After creating the key, go to the Repositories screen, find your repository and specify the key.

Most likely, you are trying to connect to the LDAP server using an insecure method, although it expects a secure connection (via TLS).

Enable TLS in your config.json file:

...
"ldap_needtls": true
...

You have the wrong password or binddn.

Use ldapwhoami tool and check if your binddn works:

ldapwhoami\
  -H ldap://ldap.com:389\
  -D "CN=/your/ldap_binddn/value/in/config/file"\
  -x\
  -W

It will ask interactively for the password and should return code 0 and echo out the DN as specified.
