docker_service - Manage docker services and containers.
New in version 2.1.
Synopsis
- Consumes docker compose to start, shutdown and scale services.
- Works with compose versions 1 and 2.
- Compose can be read from a docker-compose.yml (or .yaml) file or inline using the
definition
option. - See the examples for more details.
- Supports check mode.
Requirements (on host that executes module)
- python >= 2.6
- docker-compose >= 1.7.0
- Docker API >= 1.20
- PyYAML >= 3.11
Options
parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
api_version | no | default provided by docker-py | The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by docker-py. aliases: docker_api_version | |
build | no |
| 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. | |
cacert_path | no | Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file. aliases: tls_ca_cert | ||
cert_path | no | Path to the client's TLS certificate file. aliases: tls_client_cert | ||
debug | no |
| Include actions in the return values. | |
definition | no | Provide docker-compose yaml describing one or more services, networks and volumes. Mutually exclusive with project_src and files . | ||
dependencies | no | True |
| When state is present specify whether or not to include linked services. |
docker_host | no | 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'. aliases: docker_url | |
files | no | List of 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 | no |
| Whether or not to check the Docker daemon's hostname against the name provided in the client certificate. | |
key_path | no | Path to the client's TLS key file. aliases: tls_client_key | ||
nocache (added in 2.2)
| no |
| Use with the build option to ignore the cache during the image build process. | |
project_name | no | Provide a project name. If not provided, the project name is taken from the basename of project_src .Required when no definition is provided. | ||
project_src | no | 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 (added in 2.2)
| no |
| 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 | no | smart |
| 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 | no | Use with state absent to remove the all images or only local images. | ||
remove_volumes | no |
| Use with state absent to remove data volumes. | |
restarted | no |
| Use with state present to restart all containers. | |
scale | no | 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 | no | When state is present run docker-compose up on a subset of services. | ||
ssl_version | no | 1.0 | Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by docker-py, currently 1.0. | |
state | no | present |
| Desired state of the project. Specifying present is the same as running docker-compose up. Specifying absent is the same as running docker-compose down. |
stopped | no |
| Use with state present to leave the containers in an exited or non-running state. | |
timeout | no | 60 | The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API. | |
tls | no | Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. | ||
tls_hostname | no | localhost | When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server. | |
tls_verify | no | Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. |

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 and DOCKER_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://docker-py.readthedocs.org/en/stable/machine/ for more details.
