Using Containers

Pre-requisite - Base Ansible runner

If you haven't done dso already, make sure to have the "sagdevops-ansible-runner" built and ready. See instructions README-base-ansible.md for details.

Building the container

First set some environment variables to specify the build arguments:

export REG=
export TAG=0.0.1

Then, build the common utils image:

docker build --rm -f Dockerfile -t ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:latest -t ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:${TAG} --build-arg BASE_ANSIBLE_IMAGE=${REG}sagdevops-ansible-runner  .

This will create 1 container image with 2 tags (1 tagged with the build version, 1 tagged as "latest"):

• ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:latest
• ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:${TAG}

Test to make sure it's there:

docker images ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:${TAG}
docker images ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:latest

Testing validity of the containers

We'll be running the simplest ping.yml playbook added to this project for testing:

docker run -v $PWD/playbooks:/ansible/playbooks ${REG}sagdevops-ansible-common:${TAG} -v ping.yml

You should see the following output if all is well (notice the Task "ping" which should execute succesfully)

PLAY [all] *********************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
ok: [localhost]

TASK [ping] ********************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {"changed": false, "ping": "pong"}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0   

At this point, the image should be ready to be used.
