⁠Fedora 37 Ansible Test Image

Fedora 37 Docker container for Ansible playbook and role testing.
This container is used to test Ansible roles and playbooks (e.g. with molecule) running locally inside the container.
A user ansible is created with password-less sudo configured.

⁠Tags

⁠How to Build

If you need to build the image on your own locally, do the following:

1. Install Docker⁠.
2. Clone the repository and cd into this directory.
3. Run docker build -t fedora37-ansible .

⁠How to Use Standalone

1. Install Docker⁠.
2. Pull this image from Docker Hub or use the image you built earlier, e.g. called fedora37-ansible:latest for the next step.

docker pull timgrt/fedora37-ansible:latest

1. Run a container from the image. To test my Ansible roles, I add in a volume mounted from the current working directory with --volume=`pwd`:/etc/ansible/roles/role_under_test:ro.

docker run --detach --privileged --volume=/sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro --name fedora37 timgrt/fedora37-ansible:latest

1. Use Ansible inside the container.

docker exec --tty fedora37 env TERM=xterm ansible --version

docker exec --tty fedora37 env TERM=xterm ansible-playbook /path/to/ansible/playbook.yml

⁠How to Use with Molecule

1. Install Docker⁠.
2. Install Molecule⁠.
3. Add Image in molecule.yml.
