volker-raschek.sudo

With following role can be created sudoers files in /etc/sudoers.d. For example to grant a user special perimssions to execute a program as root.

Supported distributions

• Arch Linux
• Debian
• Fedora
• RHEL
• Ubuntu 20.04

Features

• Installing sudo
• Configuring drop-on files in /etc/sudoers.d

Tests

The role is tested with Molecule. The scenario starts one docker container per supported distribution family, applies the role, asserts that a second run reports no change and finally verifies the created drop-in files, their permissions and content, that a rule declared as absent is gone again and that visudo accepts the resulting configuration.

Molecule ships only its default driver, therefore docker is required beside molecule itself. The collections are declared in molecule/default/collections.yml and installed by molecule.

pip install molecule docker

The complete sequence creates the containers, tests them and removes them afterwards.

molecule test

While working on the role the containers are better kept alive.

# create the containers and apply the role
molecule converge

# run the assertions of molecule/default/verify.yml against the running containers
molecule verify

# open a shell in one of the containers
molecule login --host sudo-debian

# remove the containers
molecule destroy

Configuring

In the default directory are examples how to configure the network stack. Copy the defaults into your host_vars or group_vars and adapt the examples.
