lxc connection plugin - sudo first?

Archives Ansible Project

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the lxc connection plugin, but it says that my
container isn't running. Presumably that's because ansible isn't running
as root. Is there a way to tell it to sudo before connecting?

I'm aware of course of how to sudo _afterwards_, ie on the target
system, to do anything useful, but I need to connect first.

I need to do this to set up the container for ssh, so I can continue
with that later.

Thanks,

Richard

I can't see how to use this at all without being root.

Is it considered acceptable to email the plugin author directly?

Thanks,

Add your user to the lxd group (your distro might use another group name for access)

I have no lxd group; I'm not using lxd. Lxc only. Perhaps this plugin
actually requires lxd? I suspect not, though; there's also an lxd plugin.

Ah I see, I'm preoccupied by lxd at the moment so they have come synonyms.
