evilfreelancer/docker-ansible repository overview

⁠Docker Ansible

Small universal image of Docker with Ansible tools for easy software deploy.

⁠About folders

• ansible : /opt/ansible - Required by Ansible files for work
• scripts : /opt/scripts - Collection of scripts for running via entrypoint of Docker

⁠How to build

git clone https://github.com/EvilFreelancer/docker-ansible.git
cd docker-ansible
docker build . --tag ansible

⁠Okay, what next?

You need put your Ansible playbook and any other files which required for normal work into the ansible folder. On build stage this folder will be added into the container's /opt folder.

Next you need write some script (eg run.sh), which contain some commands, for example:

#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/ansible/
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml

⁠How to run

That's easy, as any other Docker containers:

docker run ansible run.sh

Where:

• ansible - is tag's name of our image
• run.sh - script name which should be executed

If you need demonized container, try this:

docker run ansible

And container never stop, until you will not stop him (eg via docker kill).

⁠Small hack

In theory docker run ansible *.sh also must work, this command mean what container should execute all files from /opt/scripts folder with .sh suffix of filename.

Check the entrypoint.sh and you will get why.
