community.docker.docker_compose – Manage multi-container Docker applications with Docker Compose.
Note
This plugin is part of the community.docker collection (version 1.10.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible
package. It is not included in ansible-core
. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list
.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker
.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.docker.docker_compose
.
Synopsis
- Uses Docker Compose to start, shutdown and scale services. This module requires docker-compose < 2.0.0.
- Configuration can be read from a
docker-compose.yml
ordocker-compose.yaml
file or inline using the definition option. - See the examples for more details.
- Supports check mode.
- This module was called
docker_service
before Ansible 2.8. The usage did not change.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Docker API >= 1.20
- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). For Python 2.6,
docker-py
must be used. Otherwise, it is recommended to install thedocker
Python module. Note that both modules should not be installed at the same time. Also note that when both modules are installed and one of them is uninstalled, the other might no longer function and a reinstall of it is required. - Docker SDK for Python >= 1.8.0 (use docker-py for Python 2.6)
- PyYAML >= 3.11
- docker-compose >= 1.7.0, < 2.0.0
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
api_version string | Default: "auto" | The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by Docker SDK for Python and the docker daemon. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_API_VERSION will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: docker_api_version |
build boolean |
| Use with state present to always build images prior to starting the application.Same as running docker-compose build with the pull option.Images will only be rebuilt if Docker detects a change in the Dockerfile or build directory contents. Use the nocache option to ignore the image cache when performing the build. If an existing image is replaced, services using the image will be recreated unless recreate is never . |
ca_cert path | Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file ca.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.aliases: tls_ca_cert, cacert_path | |
client_cert path | Path to the client's TLS certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file cert.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.aliases: tls_client_cert, cert_path | |
client_key path | Path to the client's TLS key file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file key.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.aliases: tls_client_key, key_path | |
debug boolean |
| Debug mode |
definition dictionary | Compose file describing one or more services, networks and volumes. Mutually exclusive with project_src and files. | |
dependencies boolean |
| When state is present specify whether or not to include linked services. |
docker_host string | Default: "unix://var/run/docker.sock" | The URL or Unix socket path used to connect to the Docker API. To connect to a remote host, provide the TCP connection string. For example, tcp://192.0.2.23:2376 . If TLS is used to encrypt the connection, the module will automatically replace tcp in the connection URL with https .If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_HOST will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: docker_url |
env_file path added in 1.9.0 of community.docker | By default environment files are loaded from a .env file located directly under the project_src directory.
env_file can be used to specify the path of a custom environment file instead. The path is relative to the project_src directory. Requires docker-compose version 1.25.0 or greater.Note: docker-compose versions <=1.28 load the env file from the current working directory of the docker-compose command rather than project_src. | |
files list / elements=path | List of Compose file names relative to project_src. Overrides docker-compose.yml or docker-compose.yaml .Files are loaded and merged in the order given. | |
hostname_check boolean |
| Whether or not to check the Docker daemon's hostname against the name provided in the client certificate. |
nocache boolean |
| Use with the build option to ignore the cache during the image build process. |
profiles list / elements=string added in 1.8.0 of community.docker | List of profiles to enable when starting services. Equivalent to docker-compose --profile .Requires docker-compose version 1.28.0 or greater. | |
project_name string | Provide a project name. If not provided, the project name is taken from the basename of project_src. Required when definition is provided. | |
project_src path | Path to a directory containing a docker-compose.yml or docker-compose.yaml file.Mutually exclusive with definition. Required when no definition is provided. | |
pull boolean |
| Use with state present to always pull images prior to starting the application.Same as running docker-compose pull .When a new image is pulled, services using the image will be recreated unless recreate is never . |
recreate string |
| By default containers will be recreated when their configuration differs from the service definition. Setting to never ignores configuration differences and leaves existing containers unchanged.Setting to always forces recreation of all existing containers. |
remove_images string |
| Use with state absent to remove all images or only local images. |
remove_orphans boolean |
| Remove containers for services not defined in the Compose file. |
remove_volumes boolean |
| Use with state absent to remove data volumes. |
restarted boolean |
| Use with state present to restart all containers defined in the Compose file.If services is defined, only the containers listed there will be restarted. |
scale dictionary | When state is present scale services. Provide a dictionary of key/value pairs where the key is the name of the service and the value is an integer count for the number of containers. | |
services list / elements=string | When state is present run docker-compose up resp. docker-compose stop (with stopped) resp. docker-compose restart (with restarted) on a subset of services.If empty, which is the default, the operation will be performed on all services defined in the Compose file (or inline definition). | |
ssl_version string | Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by ssl.py module. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_SSL_VERSION will be used instead. | |
state string |
| Desired state of the project. Specifying present is the same as running docker-compose up resp. docker-compose stop (with stopped) resp. docker-compose restart (with restarted).Specifying absent is the same as running docker-compose down . |
stopped boolean |
| Use with state present to stop all containers defined in the Compose file.If services is defined, only the containers listed there will be stopped. Requires docker-compose version 1.17.0 or greater for full support. For older versions, the services will first be started and then stopped when the service is supposed to be created as stopped. |
timeout integer | Default: 10 | Timeout in seconds for container shutdown when attached or when containers are already running. |
tls boolean |
| Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. Note that if validate_certs is set to yes as well, it will take precedence.If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. |
tls_hostname string | When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.The current default value is localhost . This default is deprecated and will change in community.docker 2.0.0 to be a value computed from docker_host. Explicitly specify localhost to make sure this value will still be used, and to disable the deprecation message which will be shown otherwise. | |
use_ssh_client boolean added in 1.5.0 of community.docker |
| Currently ignored for this module, but might suddenly be supported later on. |
validate_certs boolean |
| Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: tls_verify |
Notes
Note
- Connect to the Docker daemon by providing parameters with each task or by defining environment variables. You can define
DOCKER_HOST
,DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME
,DOCKER_API_VERSION
,DOCKER_CERT_PATH
,DOCKER_SSL_VERSION
,DOCKER_TLS
,DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY
andDOCKER_TIMEOUT
. If you are using docker machine, run the script shipped with the product that sets up the environment. It will set these variables for you. See https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/env/ for more details. - When connecting to Docker daemon with TLS, you might need to install additional Python packages. For the Docker SDK for Python, version 2.4 or newer, this can be done by installing
docker[tls]
with ansible.builtin.pip. - Note that the Docker SDK for Python only allows to specify the path to the Docker configuration for very few functions. In general, it will use
$HOME/.docker/config.json
if theDOCKER_CONFIG
environment variable is not specified, and use$DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json
otherwise. - This module uses the Docker SDK for Python to communicate with the Docker daemon.
