sudo: /usr/bin/tee command not found about terraform-provider-proxmox HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi @Empty2k12 👋🏼

ssh [email protected] sudo /usr/bin/tee works.

I see you've configured username 'user' for SSH access, but the username argument is not specified in the provider's ssh config. So the provider is using the default username instead, i.e. the one that is configured in the provider block via var.PROXMOX_VE_USERNAME
As I see from the the debug log, that user is different, and most likely is not configured for sudo.

You'd need to add username = "user" to the ssh block in the provider config, and everything should work:

  ssh {
    agent    = true
    username = "user"
  }

Please let me know if it solves the issue.

Hello @bpg, thanks for your quick response. I have just renamed the user in this issue. The user is called gero. Adding username = "gero" (should not be necessary) does not solve the issue.

Actually, the permissions for the user gero are broader than required:

gero ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
gero ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/pvesm
gero ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/qm
gero ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tee /var/lib/vz/*

Interesting... 🤔 Do you have the same user set up in the same way on all nodes in your PVE cluster?

from terraform-provider-proxmox.

Yes, I have.

That really puzzles me. Could you check the syslog on your node, perhaps we can find some clues in there. For example, on my test node I have these logs from the snippet upload:

Also, what type of shell is configured for root on your node?

from terraform-provider-proxmox.

I just came across this same problem, and changing my shell back to bash from zsh seems to have solved the problem.

I have some pretty custom zsh configs, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if my issue was there, but I am now curious if the OP was using a shell that isn't bash. 🙂

Thank you @mattburchett for your comment!
I faced same issue and yeah..this module is not fully compatible with ZSH.

The requirement for the default root shell has been documented in #1329
