Ansible 2.1
Ansible host: Ubuntu 16.04
Remote host: CentOS 6.5
I'm quite new to Ansible. I have a simple ansible project:
├── hosts
├── roles
│ └── setup
│ ├── defaults
│ │ └── main.yml
│ ├── tasks
│ │ └── main.yml
│ └── templates
│ └── automation-agent.config.j2
└── site.yml
Command I used to run playbook:
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --user admin --ask-pass
On the remote host, I have set up user admin
with root priviledge:
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
However, one of the playbook tasks ran into issue:
- name: Back up Automation Agent config file if exists
command: mv /etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config /etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config.bak
Ansible reports:
TASK [setup : Back up Automation Agent config file if exists] ******************
fatal: [192.168.241.135]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["mv", "/etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config", "/etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config.bak"], "delta": "0:00:00.002588", "end": "2016-06-01 22:57:55.577158", "failed": true, "rc": 1, "start": "2016-06-01 22:57:55.574570", "stderr": "mv: cannot move `/etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config' to `/etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config.bak': Permission denied", "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": [], "warnings": []}
Noted that permission setting on /etc/mongodb-mms/automation-agent.config
is 0600

Apparently one would need sudo
priviledge to make changes to this file. I have tried Ansible's --become
and --become-user
, but not having success.
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml --user admin --ask-pass --become --become-user admin
What should I do in Ansible to gain sudo
and make changes to that file?
