community.general.docker_swarm_info – Retrieves facts about Docker Swarm cluster.
Note
This plugin is part of the community.general collection (version 1.3.2).
To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.docker_swarm_info.
Synopsis
- Retrieves facts about a Docker Swarm.
- Returns lists of swarm objects names for the services - nodes, services, tasks.
- The output differs depending on API version available on docker host.
- Must be run on Swarm Manager node; otherwise module fails with error message. It does return boolean flags in on both error and success which indicate whether the docker daemon can be communicated with, whether it is in Swarm mode, and whether it is a Swarm Manager node.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Docker API >= 1.24
- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details).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-pymust be used. Otherwise, it is recommended to install thedockerPython 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 >= 1.10.0 (use docker-py for Python 2.6)
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_VERSIONwill 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_PATHis set, the fileca.pemfrom the directory specified in the environment variableDOCKER_CERT_PATHwill 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_PATHis set, the filecert.pemfrom the directory specified in the environment variableDOCKER_CERT_PATHwill 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_PATHis set, the filekey.pemfrom the directory specified in the environment variableDOCKER_CERT_PATHwill be used.aliases: tls_client_key, key_path | |
| 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 replacetcpin the connection URL withhttps.If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable  DOCKER_HOSTwill be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: docker_url | 
| nodes  boolean  | 
 | Whether to list swarm nodes. | 
| nodes_filters  dictionary  | A dictionary of filter values used for selecting nodes to list. For example,  name: mynode.See the docker documentation for more information on possible filters. | |
| services  boolean  | 
 | Whether to list swarm services. | 
| services_filters  dictionary  | A dictionary of filter values used for selecting services to list. For example,  name: myservice.See the docker documentation for more information on possible filters. | |
| 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_VERSIONwill be used instead. | |
| tasks  boolean  | 
 | Whether to list containers. | 
| tasks_filters  dictionary  | A dictionary of filter values used for selecting tasks to list. For example,  node: mynode-1.See the docker documentation for more information on possible filters. | |
| 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_TIMEOUTwill 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  yesas well, it will take precedence.If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable  DOCKER_TLSwill be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. | 
| tls_hostname  string  | Default: "localhost" | 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_HOSTNAMEwill be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. | 
| unlock_key  boolean  | 
 | Whether to retrieve the swarm unlock key. | 
| 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_VERIFYwill be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.aliases: tls_verify | 
| verbose_output  boolean  | 
 | When set to  yesand nodes, services or tasks is set toyes, then the module output will contain verbose information about objects matching the full output of API method.For details see the documentation of your version of Docker API at https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/. The verbose output in this module contains only subset of information returned by _info module for each type of the objects. | 
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_VERIFYandDOCKER_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 $HOME/.docker/config.jsonif theDOCKER_CONFIGenvironment variable is not specified, and use$DOCKER_CONFIG/config.jsonotherwise.
