pedigreetechnologies/docker-oraclelinux8-base repository overview

⁠Oracle Linux 8 Image

Oracle Linux 8 Docker container for Ansible playbook and role testing.

⁠Tags

• latest: Latest stable version of Oracle Linux 8

The latest tag is a lightweight image for basic validation of Ansible playbooks.

⁠How to Build

This image is built on Docker Hub automatically any time the upstream OS container is rebuilt, and any time a commit is made or merged to the master branch. But if you need to build the image on your own locally, do the following:

1. Install Docker⁠.
2. cd into this directory.
3. Run docker build -t oraclelinux8-base .

⁠How to Use

1. Install Docker⁠.
2. Pull this image from Docker Hub: docker pull pedigreetechnologies/docker-oraclelinux8-base:latest (or use the image you built earlier, e.g. oraclelinux8-base:latest).
3. Run a container from the image: docker run --detach --privileged --volume=/sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:rw --cgroupns=host pedigreetechnologies/docker-oraclelinux8-base:latest

⁠Notes

I use Docker to test my Ansible roles and playbooks on multiple OSes using CI tools like Jenkins and Travis. This container allows me to test roles and playbooks using Ansible running locally inside the container.
