Please help!
Answer:
It’s not ansible it’s your server’s configuration. Make sure that sudo is allowed for the user ansible is using without password.
- To do that login to the server
- Open the sudoers file with
sudo visudo - Make sure you have a line something like this:
centos ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL - Replace
centoswith the your user - Save the file
You can try from the server itself by running:
|

sudo -u [yourusername] sudo echo "success" |
If this works it should work from ansible too.
