  Of course, this playbook is more complex than a simple Dockerfile that
  installs the Bash package, but it shows that it is possible to create
  container images with Ansible. Many thanks to [Jeff
  Geerling](https://www.jeffgeerling.com/) for his introduction to Ansible
  with Docker in his book [Ansible for
  DevOps](https://www.jeffgeerling.com/ project/ansible-devops).
