Users/Groups

Container will run as user ansible-10000 by default. However, when you build your own image based on this root will be set and you need to set it back yourself to ansible-10000 if you want.

• ansible-1000
  • uid=1000
  • gid=1000
• ansible-1001
  • uid=1001
  • gid=1001
• ansible-10000
  • uid=10000
  • gid=10000

Note! All ansible users will have sudo rights. This is for convenience since some roles etc are not that well implemented.

Packages/Tools

• docker-cli
• git
• openssh
• sudo
• gosu

How to use this container

Below assume a playbook.yml file is located in current directory:

# docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/mnt haxorof/ansible-core

To override the default command set you can just add your own arguments after the images name:

# docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/mnt haxorof/ansible-core ansible -m setup -c local localhost

How to use Docker CLI with Ansible to target Python container

Start a Python container in a terminal:

# docker run -it --rm --name=target python sh

In a second terminal run the following which will do an Ansible ping to that Python container:

# docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock haxorof/ansible-core sh -c "echo 'target ansible_connection=docker' > hosts && ansible -m ping -i hosts all"
