Tiny Alpine-based multistage-build dockerized version of Ansible[1] in many different flavours. It comes with Mitogen[2] to speed up your runs by up to 600%[3][4] (see Examples). The image is built nightly against multiple stable versions and pushed to Dockerhub.

🐳 Available Docker image versions

This repository provides many different Ansible flavours (each flavour also divided into different Ansible versions).

The following tree shows how the different flavours derive from each other (each child has all the tools and features of its parent plus its own additions).

<version> refers to the latest[1], patch-level version of Ansible. E.g.: 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, ...
[1]: latest as docker images are (re)built every night via CI against the latest available patch level version of Ansible

The following table shows a quick overview of provided libraries and tools for each flavour. For more details see further down below.

πŸ†• Point in time releases

The following Docker image tags are built once and can be used for reproducible builds. Its version never changes so you will have to update tags in your pipelines from time to time in order to stay up-to-date.

build

Docker Tag Git Ref Available Architectures
<docker-tag>-<tag> git: <tag> amd64, arm64
  • Where <docker-tag> refers to any of the tags listed in Rolling releases above.
  • Where <tag> refers to the chosen git tag from this repository.

πŸ”  Docker environment variables

Environment variables are available for all flavours except for Ansible base.

Variable Default Allowed values Description
USER `` ansible Set this to ansible to have everything run inside the container by the user ansible instead of root
UID 1000 integer If your local uid is not 1000 set it to your uid to syncronize file/dir permissions during mounting
GID 1000 integer If your local gid is not 1000 set it to your gid to syncronize file/dir permissions during mounting
INIT_GPG_KEY `` string If your gpg key requires a password you can initialize it during startup and cache the password (requires INIT_GPG_PASS as well)
INIT_GPG_PASS `` string If your gpg key requires a password you can initialize it during startup and cache the password (requires INIT_GPG_KEY as well)
INIT_GPG_CMD `` string A custom command which will initialize the GPG key password. This allows for interactive mode to enter your password manually during startup. (Mutually exclusive to INIT_GPG_KEY and INIT_GPG_PASS)

πŸ“‚ Docker mounts

The working directory inside the Docker container is /data/ and should be mounted locally to the root of your project where your Ansible playbooks are.

ℹ️ Examples

Run Ansible playbook

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data cytopia/ansible ansible-playbook playbook.yml

Run Ansible playbook with Mitogen

Mitogen updates Ansible’s slow and wasteful shell-centric implementation with pure-Python equivalents, invoked via highly efficient remote procedure calls to persistent interpreters tunnelled over SSH.

No changes are required to target hosts. The extension is considered stable and real-world use is encouraged.

Configuration (option 1)

ansible.cfg

[defaults]
strategy_plugins = /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible_mitogen/plugins/strategy
strategy         = mitogen_linear

Configuratoin (option 2)

# Instead of hardcoding it via ansible.cfg,  you could also add the
# option on-the-fly via environment variables.
export ANSIBLE_STRATEGY_PLUGINS=/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible_mitogen/plugins/strategy
export ANSIBLE_STRATEGY=mitogen_linear

Invocation

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data cytopia/ansible:latest-tools ansible-playbook playbook.yml

Run Ansible playbook with local gpg keys mounted and automatically initialized

This is required in case your GPG key itself is encrypted with a password. Note that the password needs to be in single quotes.

# Ensure to set same uid/gid as on your local system for Docker user
# to prevent permission issues during docker mounts
docker run --rm \
  -e USER=ansible \
  -e MY_UID=1000 \
  -e MY_GID=1000 \
  -e [email protected] \
  -e INIT_GPG_PASS='my gpg password' \
  -v ${HOME}/.gnupg/:/home/ansible/.gnupg/ \
  -v $(pwd):/data \
  cytopia/ansible:latest-tools ansible-playbook playbook.yml

Alternatively you can also export your GPG key and password to the shell's environment:

# Ensure to write the password in single quotes
export MY_GPG_KEY='[email protected]'
export MY_GPG_PASS='my gpg password'
# Ensure to set same uid/gid as on your local system for Docker user
# to prevent permission issues during docker mounts
docker run --rm \
  -e USER=ansible \
  -e MY_UID=1000 \
  -e MY_GID=1000 \
  -e INIT_GPG_KEY=${MY_GPG_KEY} \
  -e INIT_GPG_PASS=${MY_GPG_PASS} \
  -v ${HOME}/.gnupg/:/home/ansible/.gnupg/ \
  -v $(pwd):/data \
  cytopia/ansible:latest-tools ansible-playbook playbook.yml

Run Ansible playbook with local gpg keys mounted and interactively interactively

The following will work with password-less and password-set GPG keys. In case it requires a password, it will ask for the password and you need to enter it.

# Ensure to set same uid/gid as on your local system for Docker user
# to prevent permission issues during docker mounts
docker run --rm \
  -e USER=ansible \
  -e MY_UID=1000 \
  -e MY_GID=1000 \
  -e INIT_GPG_CMD='echo test | gpg --encrypt -r [email protected] | gpg --decrypt --pinentry-mode loopback' \
  -v ${HOME}/.gnupg/:/home/ansible/.gnupg/ \
  -v $(pwd):/data \
  cytopia/ansible:latest-tools ansible-playbook playbook.yml

Run Ansible Galaxy

# Ensure to set same uid/gid as on your local system for Docker user

Important:

THE GPG_KEY and GPG_PASS will not be echo'ed out by the Make command and you are advised to export those values via your shell's export command to the env in order to hide it.

If you still want to specify them on the command line via make dry GPG_KEY='pass' and your pass or key contains one or more $ characters then they must all be escaped with an additional $ in front. This is not necessary if you export them.

Example: If your password is test$5, then you must use make dry GPG_PASS='test$$5'.

Then you can call it easily:

# With GPG password from the env
export GPG_KEY='[email protected]'
export GPG_PASS='THE_GPG_PASSWORD_HERE'
make dry
make run

# With GPG password on the cli
make dry GPG_KEY='[email protected]' GPG_PASS='THE_GPG_PASSWORD_HERE'
make run GPG_KEY='[email protected]' GPG_PASS='THE_GPG_PASSWORD_HERE'

# Without GPG password
make dry
make run

# With different Ansible version
make dry ANSIBLE=2.6
make run ANSIBLE=2.6

# With different uid/gid
make dry UID=1001 GID=1001
make run UID=1001 GID=1001
