ccoley/ansible repository overview

This image contains Ansible and common dependencies for use as an isolated execution environment.

⁠Tags

Images are tagged with the version of ansible-core included in the image. There are also python<version> tags if you need to support managed nodes running specific versions of Python.

• 2.20, python3.9, latest
• 2.18, python3.8
• 2.16, python2.7, python3.6 EOL, but kept around for use with managed nodes that only support Python 2.7
• 2.10 EOL, but kept around for playbooks that only work with classic Ansible
• 2.9 EOL, but kept around for playbooks that only work with classic Ansible

⁠Usage

The working directory is /ansible, so mount your ansible playbooks and inventory files into that directory.

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/ansible ccoley/ansible:latest ansible -m ping all

If you want to use any files/directories in your home directory from within the container, then you can mount them to /tmp/home in the container and they'll be copied to the container user's home directory. This is useful for SSH keys and known_hosts, auth configurations, etc.

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/ansible -v ~/.ssh:/tmp/home/.ssh:ro ccoley/ansible:latest ansible -m ping all
