When you install Ansible it comes with a core module for managing Docker images and containers.
The Vagrantfile provided here will start a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with the latest Docker stable release installed and docker-py.
You can then use an ansible recipe like:
- hosts: nginx
tasks:
- name: Run nginx container
docker: image=nginx:latest detach=true ports=80:80
And start an nginx container by running this play.
Start the VM:
$ vagrant up
run the play:
$ ansible-playbook -u vagrant dock.yml
Open your browser at http://192.168.33.10 and you will get the welcome screen of nginx
Note the defaults used for ansible in the ansible.cfg file:
[defaults]
hostfile = ./inventory
host_key_checking = False
private_key_file=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
If you want to use the Ansible provisioner in Vagrant you can do so:
$ cd solo $ vagrant up
This will run the play automatically
