I'm working on a script to sync a folder from Windows to a Linux server with Rsync and I manage to get it work with git bash and the rsync executable.

In Centso I added the syncinguser to the sudoer -> syncinguser ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync to allow the execution of Rsync, how can I allow the same user to run a .sh file to complete the sync process or a php command?

I want to sync a Laravel application so I need to run the command php artisan cache:clear and php artisan config:cache after the sync has finished.

I would also like to change owner:group like chown -R user:psacln * but I'm quite happy with the fact that doesn't change the rights on the folders E.g: 0777 permission on the public folder.

This is my script in windows so far:

rsync -rt --chown=user:group (being ignored I think because user's permissions) 
--exclude ".env" --exclude "storage" --exclude "public/storage" --progress 
--rsync-path="sudo rsync" -e "ssh -p <port>" 
'/c/path/to/local/folder/' syncinguser@<ip address>:/remote/path/

how can I add something like this after the sync:

ssh yncinguser@<ip address> php artisan cache:clear
ssh syncinguser@<ip address> php artisan config:cache
// OR
ssh syncinguser@<ip address>:/remote/path/to/completesync.sh

where completesync.sh will run the 2 php artisan command and apply recursively the owner:group of all files/folders as when they come from windows they are all root:root

I cannot connect as a root because we blocked it, you need to connect as a normal user and then switch to root.

 ssh -p <ssh port> syncinguser@<IP ADDRESSED> '/path/to/script.sh'

permissions denied, same if I connect as a normal user

OK, so you need two scripts: one on the source machine, and another one on the destination machine. The script on the source machine should be something like:

rsync ... ... ... syncuser@destination:/dest/path
ssh syncuser@destination "sudo /some/path/to/completesync.sh"

And on the destination machine, the script /some/path/to/completesync.sh which contains something like this:

#!/bin/sh

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

# whatever else you need to run as root

Be careful to have restricted rights on this script:

chown root:root /path/to/completesync.sh && chmod 700 /path/to/completesync.sh

Last, modify /etc/sudoers on the destination machine so that "syncuser" can run both rsync and your script as root:

syncuser ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync, /path/to/completesync.sh

Now running the script on the source machine should complete the whole process in one operation.
