⁠container-ansible: Container images with Ansible build by ansible-bender

Linux Images with Ansible⁠ for testing Ansible roles with Ansible Molecule⁠ and a continuous integration platform like GitHub⁠. All images contain Python, Ansible, SSH, Sudo and an init system (sysvinit or systemd), so that these images can be used for almost all tests as a replacement for a full-fledged virtual machine, such as for testing service management functionality.

The images were built with the help of ansible-bender⁠ and the Ansible role coglinev3.ansible_container⁠. Ansible-bender is a tool which bends containers using Ansible playbooks and turns them into container images.

⁠Example

Here is an example playbook to create a Debian 12 image with Ansible and Systemd

---
- name: Containerized version of Debian 12 with ansible
  hosts: all
  vars:
    # configuration specific for ansible-bender
    ansible_bender:
      base_image: docker.io/library/debian:12
      target_image:
        # command to run by default when invoking the container
        cmd: /bin/systemd
        name: "localhost/{{ lookup('env','USER') }}/ansible:debian-12"
        labels:
          build-by: "{{ lookup('env','USER') }}"
        volumes:
          - /sys/fs/cgroup
  tasks:
  - name: include role ansible_container
    include_role:
      name: ansible_container
    vars:
      ansible_container_become: false
      ansible_container_force_config: "yes"
      ansible_container_force_inventory: "yes"
    tags:
      - stop-layering
