community.docker.docker_image – Manage docker images
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_image
.
Synopsis
- Build, load or pull an image, making the image available for creating containers. Also supports tagging an image, pushing an image, and archiving an image to a
.tar
file.
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- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details).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)
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | ||

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_absent boolean |
| Use with state absent to un-tag and remove all images matching the specified name. | ||
force_source boolean |
| Use with state present to build, load or pull an image (depending on the value of the source option) when the image already exists. | ||
force_tag boolean |
| Use with state present to force tagging an image. | ||
load_path path | Use with state present to load an image from a .tar file.Set source to load if you want to load the image. | |||
name string / required | Image name. Name format will be one of: name , repository/name , registry_server:port/name . When pushing or pulling an image the name can optionally include the tag by appending :tag_name .Note that image IDs (hashes) are only supported for state=absent, for state=present with source=load, and for state=present with source=local. | |||
pull dictionary added in 1.3.0 of community.docker | Specifies options used for pulling images. | |||
platform string | When pulling an image, ask for this specific platform. Note that this value is not used to determine whether the image needs to be pulled. This might change in the future in a minor release, though. | |||
push boolean |
| Push the image to the registry. Specify the registry as part of the name or repository parameter. | ||
repository string | Use with state present to tag the image.Expects format repository:tag . If no tag is provided, will use the value of the tag parameter or latest .If push=true, repository must either include a registry, or will be assumed to belong to the default registry (Docker Hub). | |||
source string |
| Determines where the module will try to retrieve the image from. Use build to build the image from a Dockerfile . build.path must be specified when this value is used.Use load to load the image from a .tar file. load_path must be specified when this value is used.Use pull to pull the image from a registry.Use local to make sure that the image is already available on the local docker daemon, i.e. do not try to build, pull or load the image. | ||
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 |

Use the force option to un-tag and remove all images matching the provided name.When present check if an image exists using the provided name and tag. If the image is not found or the force option is used, the image will either be pulled, built or loaded, depending on the source option. | ||
tag string | Default: "latest" | Used to select an image when pulling. Will be added to the image when pushing, tagging or building. Defaults to latest. If name parameter format is name:tag, then tag value from name will take precedence. | ||
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.
