Step-by-step introduction on using the docker deployment of the get-started app from docker

Install ansible on your Ubuntu environment - you might need to install pip first

python3 -m pip install ansible

Add this line to your .bashrc or .zshrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

Install the Docker Galaxy Extension for Ansible

ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker

Configure the Ansible Environment

Change the remote_user and the private_key_file in the ansible.cfg

[defaults]

inventory = inventory

host_key_checking = False  # optional: removes the SSH prompt 

deprecation_warnings = False  # optional: removes deprecation warning in playbooks

remote_user = <remote-user>
private_key_file = <remote-user-private-key-file>

Set the desired Port in the Playbook

You can set the desired Port in the deploy_docker.yaml Playbook by changing the variable for port_number.

Install the App with the deploy_docker.yaml Playbook

Use this command:

python3 /home/<user>/.local/bin/ansible-playbook deploy_docker.yaml -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3'

Check out the App in the Browser

Open this adress in your browser:

<Remoteip>:<Port>

For me it was the 192.168.178.43:3000. It is a local adress.

Stop AND remove the docker with the stop_docker.yaml

Use this command:

python3 /home/<user>/.local/bin/ansible-playbook stop_docker.yaml -e 'ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3'
