This question is about best practices. I’m running a deployment script with Fabric. My deployment user ‘deploy’ needs sudo to restart services. So I am using the sudo function from fabric to run these commands in my script. This works fine but prompts for password during script execution. I DON’T want to type a password during deployments. What’s the best practice here. The only solution I can think of is changing the sudo permissions to not require password for the commands my deployment user runs. This doesn’t seem right to me.

    As Bartek also suggests, enable password-less sudo for the deployment ‘user’ in the sudoers file.

    Something like:

    run('echo "{0} ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers'.format(env.user))
