Can I use sudo in Ansible with a "local" connection?

I give up, I just can't figure out how to use Ansible with "connection: local" + "sudo: yes". I have something like:

ansible-playbook ansible/desktop.yml

- hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  ...
  tasks:
    - apt_repository: repo='ppa:alexey-smirnov/deadbeef'
      sudo: yes

I have also tried sudo_user: ...

param, sudo

before the command ansible-playbook --sudo

and--ask-sudo-pass

Currently

failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}
msg: [Errno 13] Permission denied

How should this be done?

ansible --version
ansible 1.7.2

Try

ansible-playbook -i <inventory> ansible/desktop.yml -u <local user who can sudo with password> --ask-sudo-pass


This will make it possible to use the remote user specified in -u

. And when he uses that user for sudo, he will ask you for the sudo password.

Here's another method (also works with parsing syntax become:

):



sudo su -c "ansible-playbook <your playbook name and options>"
