[gocd-server]
<server-ip-address>

Run the playbook

First create a playbook including the gocd-agent role, naming it gocd.yml

- name: gocd
  hosts: gocd-agent
  roles:
    - gocd-agent

Use ansible.host as inventory. Run the playbook only for the remote host gocd-agent. Use vagrant as the SSH user to connect to the remote host. -k enables the SSH password prompt.

$ ansible-playbook -k -i ansible.host gocd.yml -u vagrant
