Ansible inside Docker for consistent running of ansible inside your local machine or CI/CD system.
This is my preferred install variant mainly due to the performance improvements that Mitogen awards you. You can read more about it inside the Mitogen for Ansible documentation.

DEPRECATED - End of life for Ansible 2.5
To leverage Mitogen to accelerate your playbook runs, add this to your ansible.cfg
:
strategy_plugins = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible_mitogen/plugins/strategy
strategy = mitogen_linear
**You will likely need to mount required directories into your container to make it run (or build on top of what is here).
$ docker run --rm -it willhallonline/ansible /bin/sh
$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/ansible -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/id_rsa willhallonline/ansible:2.7 /bin/sh
$ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/ansible -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/id_rsa willhallonline/ansible:2.7 ansible-playbook playbook.yml
You can put these inside your dotfiles (~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc to make handy aliases).
alias docker-ansible-cli='docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/ansible -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa --workdir=/ansible willhallonline/ansible:2.7-alpine /bin/sh'
alias docker-ansible-cmd='docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/ansible -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa --workdir=/ansible willhallonline/ansible:2.7-alpine '
use with:
$ docker-ansible-cli ansible-playbook -u playbook.yml
