Docker images for Ansible software, installed in a selected Linux distributions (Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS/Alpine).

Docker-Ansible base images

Summary

Repository name in Docker Hub: williamyeh/ansible

This repository contains Dockerized Ansible, published to the public Docker Hub via automated build mechanism.

Configuration

These are Docker images for Ansible software, installed in a selected Linux distributions.

Base OS

Debian (stretch, jessie), Ubuntu (bionic, xenial, trusty), CentOS (7), Alpine (3).

Supports for Wheezy, Precise, and CentOS6 have been ended since Sep 2017.

Ansible

Four versions are provided:

1. provides the most recent stable version of Ansible; suitable for most people.
2. same as stable version, but is designed for building (near-)minimal images out of playbooks; i.e., the Ansible body will be removed when mission completed. Refer to “Build Docker images with Ansible: A half-blood approach” for working examples and slides.
3. provides the old 1.9 version of Ansible (but will be retired someday).
4. provides the experimental version of Ansible; i.e., the master branch of official Ansible's git repo.

Each version is further divided into two variants:

• Normal variant: intended to be used as Ansible control machines, or in cases that is inadequate in the onbuild variants.
• Onbuild variant: intended to be used to build Docker images.

  • williamyeh/ansible:master-ubuntu16.04-onbuild
  • williamyeh/ansible:master-centos7-onbuild

For the impatient

Here comes a simplest working example for the impatient.

First, choose a base image you'd like to begin with. For example, williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu16.04-onbuild.

Second, put the following Dockerfile along with your playbook directory:

FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu16.04-onbuild

# ==> Specify requirements filename;  default = "requirements.yml"
#ENV REQUIREMENTS  requirements.yml

# ==> Specify playbook filename;      default = "playbook.yml"
#ENV PLAYBOOK      playbook.yml

# ==> Specify inventory filename;     default = "/etc/ansible/hosts"
#ENV INVENTORY     inventory.ini

# ==> Executing Ansible (with a simple wrapper)...
RUN ansible-playbook-wrapper

Third, docker build .

Done!

For more advanced usage, the role in Ansible Galaxy williamyeh/nginx demonstrates how to perform a simple smoke test (configuration needs test, too!) on a variety of (containerized) Linux distributions on CircleCI's Ubuntu 12.04 and Travis CI’s Ubuntu 14.04 worker instances.

Why yet another Ansible image for Docker?

There has been quite a few Ansible images for Docker (e.g., search in the Docker Hub), so why reinvent the wheel?

In the beginning I used the ansible/ansible-docker-base created by Ansible Inc. It worked well, but left some room for improvement:

• Base OS image - It provides only centos:centos7 and ubuntu:14.04. Insufficent for me.

• Unnecessary dependencies - It installed, at the very beginning of its Dockerfile, the software-properties-common package, which in turns installed some Python packages. I prefered to incorporate these stuff only when absolutely needed.

Therefore, I built these Docker images on my own.

NOTE: ansible/ansible-docker-base announced in September 2015: “Ansible no longer maintains images in Dockerhub directly.”

Comparison: image size

REPOSITORY                    TAG                   VIRTUAL SIZE

williamyeh/ansible            ubuntu14.04-onbuild   238.3 MB

Usage

Used mostly as a base image for configuring other software stack on some specified Linux distribution(s).

Take Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS for example. To test an Ansible playbook.yml against a variety of Linux distributions, we may use Vagrant as follows:

# Vagrantfile

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

    # ==> Choose a Vagrant box to emulate Linux distribution...
    config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"
    #config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
    #config.vm.box = "debian/stretch64"
    #config.vm.box = "debian/jessie64"
    #config.vm.box = "bento/centos-7.2"
    #config.vm.box = "maier/alpine-3.3.1-x86_64"


    # ==> Executing Ansible...
    config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|
        ansible.playbook = "playbook.yml"
    end

end

Virtual machines can emulate a variety of Linux distributions with good quality, at the cost of runtime overhead.

Docker to be a rescue. Now, with these williamyeh/ansible series, we may test an Ansible playbook.yml against a variety of Linux distributions as follows:

# Dockerfile

# ==> Choose a base image to emulate Linux distribution...
FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu16.04
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu14.04
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:debian9
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:debian8
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:centos7
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:alpine3


# ==> Copying Ansible playbook...
WORKDIR /tmp
COPY  .  /tmp

# ==> Creating inventory file...
RUN echo localhost > inventory

# ==> Executing Ansible...
RUN ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml \
      --connection=local --sudo

You may also work with onbuild variants, which take care of many routine steps for you:

# Dockerfile

# ==> Choose a base image to emulate Linux distribution...
FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu16.04-onbuild
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu14.04-onbuild
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:debian9-onbuild
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:debian8-onbuild
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:centos7-onbuild
#FROM williamyeh/ansible:alpine3-onbuild


# ==> Specify requirements filename;  default = "requirements.yml"
#ENV REQUIREMENTS  requirements.yml

# ==> Specify playbook filename;      default = "playbook.yml"
#ENV PLAYBOOK      playbook.yml

# ==> Specify inventory filename;     default = "/etc/ansible/hosts"
#ENV INVENTORY     inventory.ini

# ==> Executing Ansible (with a simple wrapper)...
RUN ansible-playbook-wrapper

With Docker, we can test any Ansible playbook against any version of any Linux distribution without the help of Vagrant. More lightweight, and more portable across IaaS, PaaS, and even CaaS (Container as a Service) providers!

If better OS emulation (virtualization) isn't required, the Docker approach (containerization) should give you a more efficient Ansible experience.

docker-ansible's Issues

Add git to installed package

Hi,
git is needed to run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/galaxy.html#advanced-control-over-role-requirements-files
Can you add it in all docker images?
Thanks

It is possible to run a container without building a new Dockerfile?

Hi,

thanks for this project. I was thinking whether was possible to run a container without having to build a new Dockerfile.

Are all those images here to be used as base images?

Best regards,
David

Ansible pip modules for additional features

Hello,
can you intergrate following python modules?

PIP module	Ansible module
pyexpect	expect
boto	ec2, etc.
apache-libcloud	gce, etc.
azure + msrestazure or ansible[azure]	azure_*

Thank you.

Best,
Claudio

Add cryptography library for ansible-vault

Hi,

I really need to be able to run ansible-vault command from the container but I get an error because it's missing the cryptography dependency.

Would be great to add it

Thanks a lot !

experimental version using alpine3 as base

It would be great if you could add a tag (williamyeh/ansible:master-alpine3) for the experimental version

Specifying ansible version

I've found that using these images massively speeds up my build times, thanks for your work :)

The only trouble is I need to test against specific versions of ansible.. but the way you build ansible (clone, build, move relevant files and remove cruft) wont allow me to change the ansible version..

Had you thought about install from pip so that the version can be changed? or leaving the git repo intact so users can checkout the relevant tag?

Thanks again!

Missing rsync in CentOS 7 - Probably in more then one

Add OpenSSH to installed package

This would allow reusable connections (-c ssh).

Might also need the sshpass package until this pull request is accepted.

error updating /etc/hosts file on cenotos7

Hi there,

I've been trying to run an ansible script on centos7. Any idea why that would be?
Or is the use of ansible limited in some way?

This is my setup:

Ansible for Alpine Linux

William,
I like this docker images! Would it be possible to create Ansible image on top of Alpine Linux?
Alpine Linux is only 5MB and is becoming very popular for cloud deployment, would be awesome to have a reliable docker image ...

Installing git via ansible-playbook-wrapper does not work

When using the ansible-playbook-wrapper script to install requirements and run a playbook, requirements that are downloaded via git will fail because the apt-get install -y git command (https://github.com/William-Yeh/docker-ansible/blob/master/debian9-onbuild/ansible-playbook-wrapper#L26) fails:

build	21-Nov-2017 09:12:16	Reading package lists...
build	21-Nov-2017 09:12:16	Building dependency tree...
build	21-Nov-2017 09:12:16	Reading state information...
error	21-Nov-2017 09:12:16	E: Unable to locate package git

This, in turn, is because the Dockerfile removes the APT packages information: https://github.com/William-Yeh/docker-ansible/blob/master/debian9-onbuild/Dockerfile#L33

A possible fix would be to run apt-get update before the apt-get install.

Cannot locate file using ubuntu images

I have four docker files to test an ansible role, two for ubuntu and two more for debian. The dockerfiles for debian work as expected, but the ubuntu images cannot find my test.sh script.

Here's one of the Dockerfile that fail:

FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu12.04

RUN apt-get update
CMD ["sh", "tests/test.sh"]

EXPOSE 6379

Using this Dockerfile I get a not found error:

I have exactly the same files for debian:

FROM williamyeh/ansible:debian7-onbuild

RUN apt-get update
CMD ["sh", "tests/test.sh"]

EXPOSE 6379

And debian builds work as expected.

Amb I doing something wrong? Or it could be something with the ubuntu images?

If you want you can check both the role and its travis build.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Add support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

centos6-onbuild from Docker Hub is missing ansible

We began getting these errors when using the williamyeh/ansible:centos6-onbuild image from Docker Hub today:

Set .ssh/config and .ssh/known_hosts

TL;DR

• Would be nice to have a user other than root to perform commands in the container (bonus point if this user has a the same pid than the host user).
• Document ssh custom configuration.

---

I first wanted to authenticate on my server with my ssh key. Found that mounting the ssh agent socket as volume would be a reasonable solution.

To go further, for security purposes (forcing secure algorithms, servers signatures, etc.), I would like to be able to pass my host config and known_hosts files to the container.

This is what my docker run command look so far:

docker run \
  --name ansible-playbook \
  -it --rm \
  --volume $(pwd):/home/ansible/project \
  -w /home/ansible/project \
  --volume $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/ssh-agent --env SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh-agent \
  --volume ${HOME}/.ssh/config:/root/.ssh/config:ro \
  --volume ${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts:/root/.ssh/known_hosts:ro \
  williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu14.04 \
  ansible-playbook"

When doing so with the current image, I hit a Bad owner or permissions on /root/.ssh/config.

# ls -alh /root/.ssh
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 29 05:11 .
drwx------ 3 root root 4.0K Apr 29 05:11 ..
-rw------- 1 1000 1000 1.6K Apr 29 05:11 config
-rw------- 1 1000 1000 8.3K Apr 25 05:17 known_hosts

Yep: files are mounted with the owner id from the host, which is not present in the container.

Therefore, I created a "custom image" to extend the behaviour as such:

FROM williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu14.04

RUN adduser -u 1000 --disabled-password ansible
USER ansible

... and now, I am able to use the following command successfully (note the slight changes in the volumes destinations):

docker run \
  --name ansible-playbook \
  -it --rm \
  --volume $(pwd):/home/ansible/project \
  -w /home/ansible/project \
  --volume $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/ssh-agent --env SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh-agent \
  --volume ${HOME}/.ssh/config:/home/ansible/.ssh/config:ro \
  --volume ${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts:/home/ansible/.ssh/known_hosts:ro
  ${ansible_image} \
  ansible-playbook"

Thanks for reading, happy to hear your thoughts on that.

No rsync in ansible:alpine3

Hello,
I have a playbook with a basic synchronize command.
Executing this playbook on a docker ansible:alpine3 container gives me this error:

fatal: [hbsded001]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Failed to find required executable rsync"}

Is this per-design or rsync is really missing? Can you add it to the image?

Thank you

Offer distinct Ansible versions

This is a nice repository, but I miss the ability to choose between different Ansible versions, so test playbooks against different Ansible versions would be really easy.
I'd keep at least a different image for every minor version, like 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, and so on.

Dockerfile modif request

Upon installing python related modules you do a cleanup during which you also remove python-pip. It would helpful to not remove this in order to use ansible pip module. Particularly when developing and testing python stacks this is nice to have. It would also be nice to have virtualenv module installed

node connection failed

Typo in centos Dockerfile results in broken inventory file

e.g. line 43 of centos7-onbuild/Dockerfile:

echo '[local]\nlocalhost\n' > /etc/ansible/hosts

Echo should have the option -e set, or the escape sequences \n will not be interpreted.

echo -e '[local]\nlocalhost\n' > /etc/ansible/hosts

Ansible vault support

ERROR! ansible-vault requires either the cryptography library (preferred) or pycrypto in order to function.
Need python-crypto/pycrypto package for correct work ansible-vault.

Host file not found: inventory/local

Hi,
I feel I must be missing something obvious, but I'm not able to make ansible see the inventory I have in a local file.
I'm using the image like this:

docker run --rm -it williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu16.04 ansible -m ping -i inventory/local all

The response I get is:

 [WARNING]: Host file not found: inventory/local

 [WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available

 [WARNING]: No hosts matched, nothing to do

The inventory I'm referencing is:

cat ./inventory/local
[mysql]
localhost ansible_port=2222

[jira]
localhost ansible_port=2222

[confluence]
localhost ansible_port=2222

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Tag Docker images including the Ansible version

Today I hit an issue with a script for Ansible 2.3.0 that failed with Ansible 2.4.0. The image I used is williamyeh/ansible:debian8. This image has been recently updated to 2.4.0 reusing the same tag.

Thankfully I found on my docker-machine an older tag. I've pushed it in https://hub.docker.com/r/ddragosd/ansible/ but it would be nice to delete this clone.

The tags are prefixed with the Ansible version. i.e.

• 2.4.0.0-debian8
• 2.3.1.0-debian8

Missing py-netaddr for alpine image

Hi,

From a ansible template i am using the ipaddr filter like this sample

{{ '10.10.0.1/24' | ipaddr('address') }}

Running this template with docker image williamyeh/ansible:alpine3 will throw this ansible error

The ipaddr filter requires python-netaddr be installed on the ansible controller

Installing it on hosts does not help. Is it possible to add this statement inside the Dockerfile ?

apk add py-netaddr

Maybe you prefere a pull request than an issue ?

Source:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters_ipaddr.html

Regards,

alpine: py-pip has been renamed to py2-pip

FYI

Here:
https://github.com/William-Yeh/docker-ansible/blob/master/alpine3/Dockerfile#L20
, the py-pip package is installed using apk on the alpine flavour:

 apk --update add python py-pip openssl ca-certificates && \

However AFAIK, the py-pip package was at some point in the past renamed to simply py2-pip. Therefore I would suspect this action to fail on your alpine builds.

It looks like this happened as of alpine version 3.4

'ansible: command not found' at centos6-onbuild image

I can't found the ansible command at docker image of williamyeh/ansible:centos6-onbuild.

$ docker images | grep williamyeh/ansible | grep centos
williamyeh/ansible          centos6-onbuild       51f492c73235        7 weeks ago         332.9 MB

$ docker run -it williamyeh/ansible:centos6-onbuild bash
[root@776fd5b42974 /]# ansible --version
bash: ansible: command not found

Please rebuild it, again. Thank you.

release frequencies?

William,
What is the release frequency for this image?
It seems like it is currently at Ansible 1.9.2, while Ansible official release is 1.9.3.1 as of today.

Exception: The 'ansible' distribution was not found and is required by the application

I'm getting this error with master-centos7 when running ansible-playbook and ansible-vault. The ansible by itself works fine.

ansible -version = 2.4.0

Latest image 4b2f46c13c6d of williamyeh/ansible:ubuntu14.04-onbuild causes regression in our playbook

Step 3 : RUN ansible-playbook-wrapper
---> Running in e39c3d9048c3

PLAY [127.0.0.1] ***************************************************************
skipping: no hosts matched

Previous image 35bc5a1b25d6 works for us.

Currently using master-ubuntu14.04-onbuild as workaround.

No git in ubuntu/debian images

It's currently not possible to use ansible-galaxy with roles from git, like this:

- src: ssh://[email protected]/rvdh/some-ansible-role.git
  scm: git

Right now I fixed this by adding git to the packages in the dockerfile, but maybe this can be fixed here?

Add Debian Stretch support

Hi @William-Yeh,

Can you add new Dockerfile for Debian Stretch please?

Thank-you!
