docker_network_info – Retrieves facts about docker network
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis
- Retrieves facts about a docker network.
- Essentially returns the output of
docker network inspect <name>
, similar to what docker_network returns for a non-absent network.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Docker API >= 1.21
- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details).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 |
---|---|---|
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 | |
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 |
name string / required | The name of the network to inspect. When identifying an existing network name may be a name or a long or short network ID. | |
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. | |
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 | 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_HOSTNAME will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. |
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://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/machine/ 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 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.
Examples
- name: Get infos on network docker_network_info: name: mydata register: result - name: Does network exist? debug: msg: "The network {{ 'exists' if result.exists else 'does not exist' }}" - name: Print information about network debug: var: result.network when: result.exists
Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
exists boolean | always | Returns whether the network exists. Sample: True |
network dictionary | always | Facts representing the current state of the network. Matches the docker inspection output. Will be none if network does not exist.Sample: { "Attachable": false, "ConfigFrom": { "Network": "" }, "ConfigOnly": false, "Containers": {}, "Created": "2018-12-07T01:47:51.250835114-06:00", "Driver": "bridge", "EnableIPv6": false, "IPAM": { "Config": [ { "Gateway": "192.168.96.1", "Subnet": "192.168.96.0/20" } ], "Driver": "default", "Options": null }, "Id": "0856968545f22026c41c2c7c3d448319d3b4a6a03a40b148b3ac4031696d1c0a", "Ingress": false, "Internal": false, "Labels": {}, "Name": "ansible-test-f2700bba", "Options": {}, "Scope": "local" } |
