Github gists like this unfortunately don't have comment notifications, so if you want me to send me a comment, use my email matt@nanobeep.com and not the comments.)

Problem: Can't use sudo command-limiting in Ansible

The ability to limit sudo users to only be able to execute certain commands doesn't work with Ansible (without a workaround).

This isn't a problem if you're running Ansible as a super-user like root, but if you are allowing others to run Ansible on your systems in order to do things like application deploys, then you need a way to limit their access to the system for basic security.

For example, a line in /etc/sudoers like this:

def setup_env(env, environments)
  Rails.stub(:env).and_return(env)
  Rails.env.stub("#{env}?".to_sym).and_return(true)
  environments.map { |e| Rails.env.stub("#{e}?".to_sym).and_return(false) }
end

def stub_env(new_environment, environments = ["test", "development", "staging", "production"], &block)
  original_environment = Rails.env
  environments.delete(new_environment)

:ruby
  puts catalog_items.map { |catalog_item|
    { 'carpet_detail'                         => catalog_item.carpet_detail,
      'carpet_style_colors_manufacturer_name' => catalog_item.carpet_style_colors_manufacturer_name,
      'carpet_style_name'                     => catalog_item.carpet_style_name,
      'scene7_source'                         => scene7_source(catalog_item.carpet_style_colors_scene7_image_id),
      'scene7_source_product_large'           => scene7_source(catalog_item.carpet_style_colors_scene7_image_id, 'product-large'),
      'scene7_source_product_small'           => scene7_source(catalog_item.carpet_style_colors_scene7_image_id, 'product-small'),
      'scene7_source_room_scene'              => scene7_source(catalog_item.carpet_scene7_room_scene_image_id) }
  }.to_json

# This Rack middleware helps solving the issue with some Rails versions which do not accept
# a '*/*;q=0.6' and their variants 'Accept' request header. This header is particularly used
# by Google Bot, and if Rails doesn't like it, it will return a 500 or 406 error to Google Bot,
# which is not the best way to get your pages indexed.
