Could not make dir /$HOME/.ansible/cp: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/$HOME

Question

I've got a python script that uses the ansible package to ping some remote servers. When executed manually ( python devmanager.py ) it works ok, but when the script is managed with supervisor it raises the following error:

Could not make dir /$HOME/.ansible/cp: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/$HOME

The ansible command is quite simple:

    runner = ansible.runner.Runner(
            module_name='ping',
            module_args='',
            forks=10,
            inventory=inventory
    )

Same user in source and target systems. I've check permissions for the $HOME folder and didn't find anything weird.

Any idea what's is going on? Doesn't it know to translate the $HOME variable?

Answer 1

You may give a try by altering the parameter "remote_tmp" in ansible.cfg.

Default:- $HOME/.ansible/tmp

Update:- /tmp/.ansible/tmp

On this case who ever the user try to run the playbook will have enough permission to create necessary temporary files in /tmp directory.

Answer 2

是的，它似乎没有转义$HOME变量并尝试在/$HOME下写入。
