Driver for linux?

[shorton3]

Is there a scrapli driver for just plain linux? (Actually, I'm looking for a scrapli driver for F5 network devices, but they are basically just linux vm's, so I'm thinking a linux driver would work...?) Thank you

For just linux-y things there are probably better options than scrapli (ansible for example), but if you want to you would use the GenericDriver. The generic one has no concept of privilege levels and other network-y things. Docs here.

I'm working on driver for linux (NetworkDriver based) and i'm stuck in privelege management (on sudo escalate prompt). My model contains only "exec" and "root" levels.

Scenario example for self.acquire_priv("root"):
write: 'sudo -s'
read : b'\n\x1b[?2004l\x1b[?2004hcisco@device5:~$ sudo -s'
write: '\n'
read : b'\n\x1b[?2004l[sudo] password for cisco: ' (cisco is username)
operation timed out, closing connection

I've tried many regexpressions and tested validation through online services like regex101.
even escalate_prompt=r"^.*?:\s?$" can't help

Sorry, my fault. I forgot about escalate_auth again. Now it works!

Ansible is "heavy" and slow. Netmiko is slow. Paramiko is hard for create new driver. Your lib is the best choice at the moment.
