The path to this log file can be changed by editing `ansible.cfg` in the project root directory and specifying a different path. ## Troubleshooting Ansible has a built in debug output. Simple run Ansible with a `-v`. There are 5 levels of debug output and they are denoted by the number of v's listed. Each level up provide more debug output than the level before it. Level 1: `-v` Level 2: `-vv` Level 3: `-vvv` Level 4: `-vvvv` Level 5: `-vvvvv` Example execution with level 3 debug output: `ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml site.yml -vvv` # MySQL To use MariaDB Galera cluster, run on one SQL cluster node: ``` CREATE DATABASE gitea CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; CREATE USER 'gitea'@'10.42.1.163' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON gitea.* TO 'gitea'@'10.42.1.163'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; ``` # XXX FIX XXX Disable IPv6 in nginx.
