Ansible Playbook

This installs Ansible in a basic Debian Bullseye Python 3.10 image.

Usage Examples

• Grab the image from DockerHub

docker pull isometimescode/ansible-playbook:latest

• Grab a specific version of Ansible from DockerHub

docker pull isometimescode/ansible-playbook:2.10.3

• Run a container and check the installed version of ansible

docker run -t --rm -v $(pwd)/my-local-playbook:/playbook isometimescode/ansible-playbook --version

• Run a container and mount a volume with your playbook contents to execute a play

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/my-local-playbook:/playbook isometimescode/ansible-playbook /playbook/main.yml

Building Your Own Image
