How to execute a shell script on a remote server using Ansible?
local_action
runs the command on the local server, not on the servers you specify in hosts
parameter.
Change your "Execute the script" task to
- name: Execute the script
command: sh /home/test_user/test.sh
and it should do it.
You don't need to repeat sudo in the command line because you have defined it already in the playbook.
According to Ansible Intro to Playbooks user
parameter was renamed to remote_user
in Ansible 1.4 so you should change it, too
remote_user: test_user
So, the playbook will become:
---
- name: Transfer and execute a script.
hosts: server
remote_user: test_user
sudo: yes
tasks:
- name: Transfer the script
copy: src=test.sh dest=/home/test_user mode=0777
- name: Execute the script
command: sh /home/test_user/test.sh
you can use script module
Example
- name: Transfer and execute a script.
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Copy and Execute the script
script: /home/user/userScript.sh
It's better to use script
module for that:
