SSHKit::Sudo

SSHKit extension, for sudo operation with password input.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sshkit-sudo'

And then execute:

$ bundle

If you're using Capistrano, add the following to your Capfile:

require 'sshkit/sudo'

Usage

This gem adds sudo and execute! command to SSHKit backends.

To execute a command with sudo, call sudo instead of execute.

sudo :cp, '~/something', '/something'

# Or as follows:
execute! :sudo, :cp, '~/something', '/something'

Examples in Capistrano tasks

# Executing a command with sudo in Capistrano task
namespace :nginx do
  desc 'Reload nginx'
  task :reload do
    on roles(:web), in: :sequence do
      sudo :service, :nginx, :reload
    end
  end

  desc 'Restart nginx'
  task :restart do
    on roles(:web), in: :sequence do
      execute! :sudo, :service, :nginx, :restart
    end
  end
end

namespace :prov do
  desc 'Install nginx'
  task :nginx do
    on roles(:web), in: :sequence do

      within '/etc/apt' do
        unless test :grep, '-Fxq', '"deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ wheezy nginx"', 'sources.list'
          execute! :echo, '"deb http://nginx.org/packages/debian/ wheezy nginx"', '|', 'sudo tee -a sources.list'
