From b5ec8f83b1f922325a57de070f237b02e310308c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Slavi Pantaleev Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 11:54:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "become -> ansible_become" This reverts commit 9c01d875f31a7da5244c975e209aac26c8b16972. This is very confusing and messy.. but it's documented. `ansible_become_*` variables actually take priority and override all `become_*` variables set at the task level. As such, using `ansible_become=true ansible_become_user=root` in `inventory/hosts` causes issues because tasks that specify `become: OTHER_USER` will be forced to run as `root` due to `ansible_become_user`. --- examples/hosts | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/examples/hosts b/examples/hosts index 3455812f3..cb6459f97 100644 --- a/examples/hosts +++ b/examples/hosts @@ -2,8 +2,8 @@ # If you'd rather use a local IP here, make sure to set up `matrix_coturn_turn_external_ip_address`. # # To connect using a non-root user (and elevate to root with sudo later), -# replace `ansible_ssh_user=root` with something like this: `ansible_ssh_user=username ansible_become=true ansible_become_user=root`. -# If sudo requires a password, either add `ansible_become_password=PASSWORD_HERE` to the host line +# replace `ansible_ssh_user=root` with something like this: `ansible_ssh_user=username become=true become_user=root`. +# If sudo requires a password, either add `become_password=PASSWORD_HERE` to the host line # or tell Ansible to ask you for the password interactively by adding a `--ask-become-pass` (`-K`) flag to all `ansible-playbook` (or `just`) commands. # # For improved Ansible performance, SSH pipelining is enabled by default in `ansible.cfg`.
