Hi,
su and sudo are two ways to become another user. So both method are
available in ansible. Very often indeed in public cloud, this is the
sudo way which is used during the provisionning of the server and
assigning ssh key
"man su" and "man sudo" should help you to understand differences.
Regards,
JYL

Resolved by changing /su/ to /sudo/ in /become_method/, i.e. changing
become_method:su to become_method: su*do**. *The docs mention *su*
however. Is this a bug in Ansible itself where it say in the error
message that /su/ is not acceptable or are /su/ and /sudo/ meant to do
different things?

Hi.
I am trying to install a package on an AWS Ubuntu machine using
ansible and getting error
FAILED! => {"msg": "Timeout (42s) waiting for privilege escalation
prompt: "}
I have tried with high timeouts as suggested online. The package I
am trying to install is docker and so it should take much time.
Moreover, I am watching the file /var/log/auth.log while I run the
playbook but cannot see any activity.
/I am able to do non-sudo actions however./
My ansible playbook is as follows
- hosts: '{{ host }}'
tasks:
- name: run lsb_releaset to check SSH works
shell: lsb_release -a
- name: Install docker if not already
become: yes
become_method: su
package:
name: "docker-ce"
state: present
And my hosts file is as
[node]
<IP of the machine>
[node:vars]
ansible_ssh_user=ubuntu
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=<my pem file location>
I am running ansible as
ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml --extra-vars "host=node" -T
40 -v
