@dani_z It is possible to see the error `sudo: a password is required` if you

- set [`sshd_permit_root_login: false`](https://github.com/roots/trellis/blob/31707b8a1ad540731dd3bf4918420117b141f8c5/group_vars/all/security.yml#L16)
- run `server.yml`
- run `server.yml` again

The first run of `server.yml` will disable `root` from connecting in the future. The second run will need to connect as `admin_user` and will need this user’s sudo password passed in. From the [docs](https://roots.io/trellis/docs/security/#admin-user):

> With root login disabled, the admin\_user will need to run commands using sudo with a password, so you will need to add the option `--ask-become-pass` when running server.yml.

```
ansible-playbook server.yml -e env=production --ask-become-pass
```

> This prompts you to enter the sudoer password described in the “Admin User Sudoer Password” section below.

The default sudoer password to enter is `example_password`.

I haven’t tried http staging and https production on same server. Your approach appears to mirror the first option discussed [here](https://discourse.roots.io/t/staging-and-production-on-same-vps/2440/23). I believe the second option discussed at that link could be modified for the updated Trellis file setup, if you want. What you’ve described looks good to me, assuming the `group_vars/staging/` in the **Production** paths you listed is really `'group_vars/production/`.

As for the Nginx conf files, I can’t think of any needed alterations off the top of my head. Trellis will automatically create separate conf files in …

```
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
    leathergadgets.com.conf
    staging.leathergadgets.com.conf
```
