Ah, this is not a problem for me on my remote hosts. I'm guessing this comes down to a sudoers policy on certain distros (redhat-like ones perhaps).

I'm about to make a new release and I'll set `get_pty=True` for the paramiko calls that use sudo. I'm not 100% sure if it will fix it for all use cases, but hopefully it will.

It's just plain Ubuntu actually! I would provide a fix, since getting a PTY is not enough. I can't open a PR because it's not possible with the way you hosted it.

Dang! Seems strange.. I guess you are not using password-less sudo? (I'm interested to understand how Ansible itself works for you then too in such a setup, you have it prompting for a password when it invokes sudo?)

Yeah, I haven't been confident enough with Forgejo's federation capabilities yet to open up PRs/login etc. Maybe soon. Trying to avoid using Github and the other big providers if I can help it :) but I recognise it's a hindrance..

I'll happily take a patch and credit you, if you can be bothered, but I understand if not. Feel free to email mig@mig5.net

*EDIT* reading up on it, sounds like I need to use sudo -S and accept stdin..
