server.script/shell as a specific user?

[hemna]

I'm trying to run a script/shell comand as a particular user, but pyinfra is failing. Is there anyway to run a server.shell or server.script as a specific user?

server.script(
        name="Run the dotfiles install script",
        src=f"{home}/.dotfiles/setup.sh",
        user=host.data.get("ssh_user"),
    )

or even server.shell()

Hi @hemna you can use the global arguments _su_user (or sudo/sudo_user) to achieve this. See: https://docs.pyinfra.com/en/2.x/arguments.html
