ansible

Docker images for running and testing ansible playbooks with various operating systems.

I don't like obfuscated Dockerfiles with external scripts and hundreds of bells and whistles, so I created these simple ones.

Available operating systems:

• alpine-3
• centos-7
• debian-8
• fedora-24
• ubuntu-16.04

use the ansible image for playbooks

docker run -it --rm \
    -w /site \
    -v /path/to/site/:/site \
    -v /path/to/ansible-user-ssh/:/root/.ssh:ro \
    --tmpfs /root/.ansible \
    chmuul/ansible:alpine-3 \
    ansible-playbook site.yml

Note: /root/.ansible must not be an overlayfs, otherwise ssh accelerate won't work.

use the ansible image in drone builds

build:
  image: chmuul/ansible:$$OS
  commands:
    - ansible-playbook -i tests/inventory tests/main.yml --syntax-check
    - ansible-playbook -i tests/inventory tests/main.yml

matrix:
  OS:
    - centos-7
    - debian-8
    - fedora-24
    - ubuntu-16.04
