Run the playbook

First create a playbook including the jenkins role, naming it jenkins.yml

- name: Jenkins
  hosts: jenkins
  roles:
    - ansible-jenkins

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

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