Hello,

Our website was built with [roots.io](http://roots.io) by an external company and we have been trained to make some updates and deploy them.

Today I want to update the nginx config of my development copy, so I updated wordpress\_sites.yml and I am wondering how to deploy them in the vagrant machine.

I ran “ansible-playbook server.yml -e env=development” but it complains about connecting as root, and my knowledge of ansible is so limited that after some hours I still could not figure how to fix this problem.

Here is the output (johndoe is my login in the host machine running MacOS) :

```

```

Is ansible server.yml playbook the good way to update the local development server ?

Any tips how to get to the next steps are really appreciated !

Thanks

For local development server changes, you’ll want to run `vagrant provision`.

Related docs:

> Trellis uses Vagrant for local development environments. Our Vagrantfile uses Ansible to provision a virtual machine running your WordPress site.
