community.docker.docker_config – Manage docker configs.
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_config
.
Synopsis
- Create and remove Docker configs in a Swarm environment. Similar to
docker config create
anddocker config rm
. - Adds to the metadata of new configs ‘ansible_key’, an encrypted hash representation of the data, which is then used in future runs to test if a config has changed. If ‘ansible_key’ is not present, then a config will not be updated unless the force option is set.
- Updates to configs are performed by removing the config and creating it again.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Docker API >= 1.30
- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). This module does not work with docker-py.
- Docker SDK for Python >= 2.6.0
- Python >= 2.7
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 |
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 | |
data string | The value of the config. Mutually exclusive with data_src. One of data and data_src is required if state=present. | |
data_is_b64 boolean |
| If set to true , the data is assumed to be Base64 encoded and will be decoded before being used.To use binary data, it is better to keep it Base64 encoded and let it be decoded by this option. |
data_src path added in 1.10.0 of community.docker | The file on the target from which to read the config. Mutually exclusive with data. One of data and data_src is required if state=present. | |
debug boolean |
| Debug mode |
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 |
force boolean |
| Use with state present to always remove and recreate an existing config.If true , an existing config will be replaced, even if it has not been changed. |
labels dictionary | A map of key:value meta data, where both the key and value are expected to be a string. If new meta data is provided, or existing meta data is modified, the config will be updated by removing it and creating it again. | |
name string / required | The name of the config. | |
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 |
| Set to present , if the config should exist, and absent , if it should not. |
timeout integer | Default: 60 | The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TIMEOUT will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. |
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 |
| For SSH transports, use the ssh CLI tool instead of paramiko.Requires Docker SDK for Python 4.4.0 or newer. |
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.
Examples
- name: Create config foo (from a file on the control machine) community.docker.docker_config: name: foo # If the file is JSON or binary, Ansible might modify it (because # it is first decoded and later re-encoded). Base64-encoding the # file directly after reading it prevents this to happen. data: "{{ lookup('file', '/path/to/config/file') | b64encode }}" data_is_b64: true state: present - name: Create config foo (from a file on the target machine) community.docker.docker_config: name: foo data_src: /path/to/config/file state: present - name: Change the config data community.docker.docker_config: name: foo data: Goodnight everyone! labels: bar: baz one: '1' state: present - name: Add a new label community.docker.docker_config: name: foo data: Goodnight everyone! labels: bar: baz one: '1' # Adding a new label will cause a remove/create of the config two: '2' state: present - name: No change community.docker.docker_config: name: foo data: Goodnight everyone! labels: bar: baz one: '1' # Even though 'two' is missing, there is no change to the existing config state: present - name: Update an existing label community.docker.docker_config: name: foo data: Goodnight everyone! labels: bar: monkey # Changing a label will cause a remove/create of the config one: '1' state: present - name: Force the (re-)creation of the config community.docker.docker_config: name: foo data: Goodnight everyone! force: yes state: present - name: Remove config foo community.docker.docker_config: name: foo state: absent
