ansible_local_playbooks.md

• using Ansible command line:

ansible-playbook --connection=local 127.0.0.1 playbook.yml

• using inventory:

127.0.0.1 ansible_connection=local

• using Ansible configuration file:

[defaults]
transport = local

• using playbook header:

- hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local

Thanks a lot, this is so annoying to figure out!

cannot agree more~~
