Errors in my Playbook

[Michael Cooper]

Hello Everyone,

       First time poster here. By the way I am just now learning this. I am having issues with a playbook I am trying to run and I get this after the

This is what I ran -> ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/pi_hosts pi_update.yml

This was the result:

TASK [Update apt repo and cache on all Debian/Ubuntu boxes] *************************
fatal: [ohsrv01.cfs.loc]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation: Failed to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/: E:Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)"}
fatal: [octopi.cfs.loc]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to lock apt for exclusive operation: Failed to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/: E:Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)"}

Not sure what's going on because I am using a legal user but do I need to put a provision for sudo and run the commands with sudo?

Thanks guys I appreciate your help,

Are you running the playbook as root? If not,  add:

  become:yes

to the task or add "--become" to the command line.
