DEPRECATED

Synopsis

• This is the original Ansible module for managing the Docker container life cycle.
• NOTE - Additional and newer modules are available. For the latest on orchestrating containers with Ansible visit our Getting Started with Docker Guide.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• python >= 2.6
• docker-py >= 0.3.0
• The docker server >= 0.10.0

Parameters

Examples

# Containers are matched either by name (if provided) or by an exact match of
# the image they were launched with and the command they're running. The module
# can accept either a name to target a container uniquely, or a count to operate
# on multiple containers at once when it makes sense to do so.

# Ensure that a data container with the name "mydata" exists. If no container
# by this name exists, it will be created, but not started.

- name: data container
  docker:
    name: mydata
    image: busybox
    state: present
    volumes:
    - /data

# Ensure that a Redis server is running, using the volume from the data
# container. Expose the default Redis port.

- name: redis container
  docker:
    name: myredis
    image: redis
    command: redis-server --appendonly yes
    state: started
    expose:
    - 6379
    volumes_from:
    - mydata

# Ensure that a container of your application server is running. This will:
# - pull the latest version of your application image from DockerHub.
# - ensure that a container is running with the specified name and exact image.
#   If any configuration options have changed, the existing container will be
#   stopped and removed, and a new one will be launched in its place.
# - link this container to the existing redis container launched above with
#   an alias.
# - grant the container read write permissions for the host's /dev/sda device
#   through a node named /dev/xvda
# - bind TCP port 9000 within the container to port 8080 on all interfaces
#   on the host.
# - bind UDP port 9001 within the container to port 8081 on the host, only
#   listening on localhost.
# - specify 2 ip resolutions.
# - set the environment variable SECRET_KEY to "ssssh".

- name: application container
  docker:
    name: myapplication
    image: someuser/appimage
    state: reloaded
    pull: always
    links:
    - "myredis:aliasedredis"
    devices:
    - "/dev/sda:/dev/xvda:rwm"
    ports:
    - "8080:9000"
    - "127.0.0.1:8081:9001/udp"
    extra_hosts:
      host1: "192.168.0.1"
      host2: "192.168.0.2"
    env:
      SECRET_KEY: ssssh

# Ensure that exactly five containers of another server are running with this
# exact image and command. If fewer than five are running, more will be launched;
# if more are running, the excess will be stopped.

- name: load-balanced containers
  docker:
    state: reloaded
    count: 5
    image: someuser/anotherappimage
    command: sleep 1d

# Unconditionally restart a service container. This may be useful within a
# handler, for example.

- name: application service
  docker:
    name: myservice
    image: someuser/serviceimage
    state: restarted

# Stop all containers running the specified image.

- name: obsolete container
  docker:
    image: someuser/oldandbusted
    state: stopped

# Stop and remove a container with the specified name.

- name: obsolete container
  docker:
    name: ohno
    image: someuser/oldandbusted
    state: absent

# Example Syslogging Output

- name: myservice container
  docker:
    name: myservice
    image: someservice/someimage
    state: reloaded
    log_driver: syslog
    log_opt:
      syslog-address: tcp://my-syslog-server:514
      syslog-facility: daemon
      syslog-tag: myservice
