The ansible installation get's stuck at 'Starting receiver'

I have tried with Ubuntu v18 and Ubuntu v20 but same issue with both of them. Any suggestion on how to fix it ?

We haven't been using Hermes Ansible script for a deployment for a while, so I am not able to follow with debugging.

However, starting the honeypots is the last step. So in case the previous steps went without problem, you should be able to verify the honeypot is running, manually.

Kill the script, connect to the honeypot, and verify you can see both receiver and relay running:

$ ps -aux | grep salmon

If you see some of the 2 processes missing, you can start them using following commands:

$ salmon-receiver start
$ salmon-relay start

The deployment is then finished and honeypot running.

Hope that helps.

@Larrax

Trying to run salmon-receiver start or salmon-relay start

takes me into python terminal and nothing more happens then -

root@Honeypot2:~# salmon-receiver start
Python 3.6.9 (default, Dec  8 2021, 21:08:43) 
[GCC 8.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I guess this is probably the issue why ansible get's stuck on starting receiver, any way to solve this issue ?
