Disable sudo password on Jenkins build machines

edit file sudoers

sudo nano /etc/sudoers

or

sudo visudo

and modify

%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL

to

%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

and add following line to the end of the file:

user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Be careful!

When editing sudoers, it’s necessary to be very careful. Any error cause that you will not be able to edit this file anymore and also not to use sudo ;-).

Here are links how to fix it (verified 😉 )
