Docker Community Collection

This repo contains the community.docker Ansible Collection. The collection includes many modules and plugins to work with Docker.

Please note that this collection does not support Windows targets. The connection plugins included in this collection support Windows targets on a best-effort basis, but we are not testing this in CI.

Communication

• Join the Ansible forum:

  • Get Help: get help or help others. Please add appropriate tags if you start new discussions, for example the docker, docker-compose, or docker-swarm tags.
  • Posts tagged with 'docker': subscribe to participate in Docker related conversations.
  • Posts tagged with 'docker-compose': subscribe to participate in Docker Compose related conversations.
  • Posts tagged with 'docker-swarm': subscribe to participate in Docker Swarm related conversations.
  • Social Spaces: gather and interact with fellow enthusiasts.
  • News & Announcements: track project-wide announcements including social events.

• The Ansible Bullhorn newsletter: used to announce releases and important changes.

For more information about communication, see the Ansible communication guide.

Tested with Ansible

Tested with the current Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12, ansible-core 2.13, and ansible-core 2.14 releases. Ansible versions before 2.9.10 are not supported.

Please note that support for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 has been deprecated and will be dropped from community.docker 3.0.0 on.

External requirements

Most modules and plugins require the Docker SDK for Python. For Python 2.6 support, use the deprecated docker-py library instead.

Please note that Python 2.6 support has been deprecated and will be dropped from community.docker 3.0.0 on.

Both libraries cannot be installed at the same time. If you accidentally did install them simultaneously, you have to uninstall both before re-installing one of them.

Using this collection

Before using the Docker community collection, you need to install the collection with the ansible-galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml using the format:

collections:
- name: community.docker

See Ansible Using collections for more details.

Contributing to this collection

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured COLLECTIONS_PATH, and work on it there.

You can find more information in the developer guide for collections, and in the Ansible Community Guide.
