The Ansible configuration is mainly stored in the ansible.cfg configuration file, which is usually located in /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg in most system package managers and the Python PyPI installation. It may also be located in the home directory of the user who installed Ansible, or whichever location the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable is pointing to. In this section, we will be covering the most useful configuration that can be altered using Ansible to make your life easier.
Open your ansible.cfg file using your favorite text editor, either in CLI mode (using vi or nano) or with a GUI (using Gedit or Atom):
sudo nano /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
There is no need to worry about which text editor you are using—there will always be someone who disagrees with you. Use whichever one you are most comfortable with.
