Optional tasks cannot have sudo_user in a specific Vagrant box (bento)

- name: ensure database is created postgresql_db: name={{dbname}} sudo_user: postgres 

Fd

Do I need to create my own box?

Answer 1

It's probably late here, but today I came across the same error and resolved it with

 username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL 

your sudo group skipped this ALL in parentheses

Answer 2

Pretty accurately, you should also add sudo: yes below / above the sudo_user parameter.
