I am looking for a way to configure passwords for "sudoing" in the various hosts targeted by a fabfile.py. I accept "clear" passwords" in a ~/.fabric.py|yaml|json but not in the fabfile.py.

Unless I didn't read correctly, the fabric documentation shows how to provide a common sudo password in a configuration file, but I have different users (managed through ~/.ssh/config) and different passwords for those hosts. And the system admin do not accept to let sudoing without password.

Thanks for any hint.

current workaround would be. managing as per this. where you can provide ssh_password as a argument.

I think you are accepting and storing clear text password. 

fabric_connection.sudo("ls -al /root", password=sudo_password)

manage your passwords differently to achieve this.

  • Thanks, I knew this one, but I need the glue to have these passwords passed in through a configuration file. This does not answer I expected, sorry. – glenfant Jul 15 '19 at 13:33
