Ansible-Docker

Ansible, Terraform and OpenStack CLI in Docker Fully compatible with Docker for Windows

Before we begin please note the <> just indicate values you need to replace with your own. Do not use < or > in your commands.

Included packages:

emacs vim nano git python2 python3 python-pip wget curl net-tools iputils sshpass ansible pywinrm

To pre load SSH keys, inventory files, and OpenStack:

You can load your SSH private keys files by placing them in the SSH directory. NOTE: Vagrant's insecure_private_key is included for provisioning vagrant boxes. You can load your Ansible hosts inventory file by placing it in the HOSTS directory. You can load your group_vars inventory files by placing them in the GROUP_VARS directory. You can load your host_vars inventory files by placing them in the HOST_VARS directory. You can load your OpenStack account clouds.yaml and OpenStack account secrets file secure.yaml by placing them in the OPENSTACK directory. Instructions to configure the OpenStack CLI

NOTE: You can use Ansible Vault to encrypt and decrypt files containing secrets.

• Ansible Vault is included with Ansible. To install the latest version of Ansible on Ubuntu 16.04 / Linux Subsystem for Windows:

sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt -y install software-properties-common && sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible && sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y install ansible && ansible --version

• In the Dockerfile, the password file is: .password.txt

• To encrypt a file

ansible-vault encrypt <path to file> --vault-password-file <path to password file>

• To decrypt a file

ansible-vault decrypt <path to file> --vault-password-file <path to password file>

To build the container:

docker build -t <image tag>:<image version number> .

The image tag and version number can be anything you want. For example, if you want to use: ansible:latest, your build command would be: docker build -t ansible:latest .

To run the container:

docker run -i -t --name <container name> -h <container hostname> -v <host directory>:<container directory> <image tag>:<image version number> /bin/bash

NOTE: If you are using Docker on Windows, you will have to use UNIX style / instead of \ to specify the host directory. For example: c:/Users/hauptj/Docker/ansible/volumes

NOTE: You can mount your current working directory using the cross platform ${PWD} variable. For example:

docker run -i -t --name ansible -h ansible -v ${PWD}:/data ansible:latest /bin/bash

SEE: Mount current directory as volume in Docker on Windows 10

Pre-built container:

You can download a pre-built version of this container from the public Docker repository by running:

docker pull hauptj/ansible-terraform
