Rye::Box commands failing on remote server

Question

Firstly, I can ssh into the remote server and execute the following commands

cd public_html
du -sh

each successful & exiting with code 0.

Automating the process with Rye::Box & with option safe: false

rbox.cd :public_html 

does change directory but also returns exit code -1

rbox.execute 'du -sh'

fails with error message "SocketError::getaddrinfo: Name or service not known"

Would appreciate an explanation if possible.

Answer 1

Check your hosts entry for 127.0.0.1

You might have to add a hostname in /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1.
