Ansible 2.9.6 in the Ansible deployment fails in Ubuntu 20.04
Indication is it might self resolve with a newer version.

DataDog/ansible-datadog#274

$ ansible -m service_facts localhost

Sorry but I don't understand how this is related to this project as we are not asking for 2.9.6 specificly and the README page mentions al tests are done with 2.9.18+.
Is it a mistake or maybe can you clarify?

[fgjohnson]

Thanks, and sorry...
Figuring out how everything fits together.

I installed/updated a brand new Ubuntu 20.04
Installed Ansible with "apt-get install ansible"... and the version I got was 2.9.6... typical newbie mistake!
Downloaded and extracted alfresco-ansible-deployment-master.zip
Ran the playbook for a local install.
This error was thrown and the install didn't complete.
fatal: [activemq_1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Malformed output discovered from systemd list-unit-files: accounts-daemon.service enabled enabled "}

Is Ansible 2.9.18 the recommended version

Installed Ansible by pip3: 2.10.2 the playbook completed successfully.
Although there are some issues with the Community install that I am experiencing... will try and confirm they aren't already known or something that I can fix.

thank you @fgjohnson. Yes as we ran tests using 2.9.18 we're sure it works so I would recommand it. Actually, latest tests now occurs with 2.9.21. I would say that's even better and will update doc accordingly.
Please let me close this issue. Feel free to open a new one in case you need help with your community deployment
