ansible on Ubuntu

[Jason Li]

Hi Support,

I'm new for ansible and Linux, may I know, as Ubuntu disabled 'root' account, but when we install system, the permission was grant to 'root' as well, like '/etc/'..

I'm facing the problem when create /etc/nginx/nginx.conf', I'm continue getting 'permission denied' error.

I've copied the ssh key to 'ubuntu' account, and below is the playbook, I used -K to input the password as well.

- name: test playbook

  hosts: webservers

  tasks:

    - name: debug

      debug: msg="{{ group_names }}, {{ ansible_processor_cores }}"

    - name: create nginx config directory

      file: path=/etc/nginx state=directory mode=0755

      become: sudo

"msg": "There was an issue creating /etc/nginx as requested: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/nginx'"

Can someone help for that.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Jason

Hmm, looks like the 'become:sudo' is something that makes permission denied.
It must be something like:

...
become: true
...
