I don't see any playbook, or other content.

What did you try already?

What are you trying to automate?

On a side note, if you are new to ansible, what is the urgency about?

I meant what does DISTRIB_CODENAME evaluate to on the target system?

Works (but is verbose and is of course correctly indented in reality, just not here):

 - name: Install Kurento Media Server - Import the Kurento repository signing key

ansible.builtin.shell: |

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5AFA7A83

- name: Install Kurento Media Server - Get Ubuntu version definitions and add repository to apt

ansible.builtin.shell: |

source /etc/lsb-release

tee "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/kurento.list" >/dev/null <<EOF

# Kurento Media Server - Release packages

deb [arch=amd64] http://ubuntu.openvidu.io/6.16.0 $DISTRIB_CODENAME kms6

EOF

args:

executable: /bin/bash

- name: Install Kurento Media Server - Full install (takes time)

ansible.builtin.shell: |

apt-get update && apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes kurento-media-server

Does not work:

 - name: Install Kurento Media Server - Import the Kurento repository signing key

ansible.builtin.shell: |

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5AFA7A83

- name: Install Kurento Media Server

Hello,

First, are you using the same account with the playbook and when you test interactively ?

And are you sure you are using the same "become_user" ?

Second, when your playbook run a task/module, it is using a clean minimal environment ?

Are you able to issue the same command in non interactive mode ? (for example from a cron/at/...)

If you have to do "pbrun bash" then the command, it's not exactly the same as doing "pbrun thecommand" (what you are asking your playbook to do) You're first loading a specific interpreter (and I'm not sure your playbook is using the same exact shell) in interactive session (hence setting environment variables and doing stuffs via the ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile etc)

Just few hints.

Regards.
