ansible-navigator VS community

If you need out-of-core modules in an air-gapped environment, you can use a machine with external network access to prepare your execution environment (EE) which is basically a docker image using ansible-builder, add all modules/collections you need, export the resulting image, and import it into your air-gapped server. You can then use ansible-navigator to run Ansible playbooks using that EE.

Please do check out the release notes for all the updates.

Projects to make it easier to write and test Ansible Content. Includes VScode extension, language server, ansible-lint, molecule, ansible-navigator and potentially other development goodies. To see what's planned, and how you can help checkout the foundation-devtools project board

But this does not mean there is no way of using EEs from the command line. For example, Ansible Runner can run playbooks and ad hoc commands using EEs since version 2, but the preferred tool for using EEs locally is Ansible Navigator.

... As a base before mapping in ssh keys. Also, have a look at navigator which works with execution environments: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-navigator
