ansible-role-kepler's Issues

Including init.sh in the execution of the role

The file docker-kepler/Dockerfile includes the following last line:
CMD /etc/init.d/vmcontext start; /home/ubuntu/init.sh
Therefore, the script init.sh, which starts up the VNC server, is only executed when a Docker container is started.

If this role is executed on a Virtual Machine, then the script is never executed and the VNC server is not started.

Is it possible to introduce the actions of the init.sh script inside the Ansible Role so that feature parity is matched between Docker containers and VMs?

Also, the execution of the init.sh inside a vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 Virtual Machine Image results in the following error
:...
