devopsworks/ansible-cloud repository overview

⁠ansible-cloud

Docker images containing multiple ansible version & cloud tools (google cloud sdk).

Useful in CI role testing to deploy on preemptible instances when using Docker for testing role is not an option (systemd clumsyness or fidling with privileged stuff like sysctl).

Python3 is used unless ansible version is below 2.5 (python 2.7 in this case).

Virtualenv is present so you can switch versions using workon VERSION where VERSION is only 'major.minor'. The build process uses the latest patch version for each selected 'major.minor'.

Pseudo-versions named latest & current will point respectively to the latest available ansible version and the version maked as current. These depend on version set selected in the ansible.sh file in the repository.

See Docker Hub⁠ for final images.

⁠Usage

Set GCLOUD_SERVICE_KEY, GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID and GOOGLE_COMPUTE_ZONE in your CI environment (as secrets !).

gitlab-ci example:

ansible-deploy:
  image: devopsworks/ansible-cloud:latest
  stage: test
  before_script:
    - echo $GCLOUD_SERVICE_KEY | gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=-
    - gcloud --quiet config set project ${GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID}
    - gcloud --quiet config set compute/zone ${GOOGLE_COMPUTE_ZONE}
  script:
    - workon selected_version
    - do some stuff
