Ansible (automated docker build)

Automated simple and small Ansible build on latest Alpine Linux base image.

Docker Hub: 4nxio/ansible

Usage

You should changed your directory to your Ansible files (e.g. ~/ansible) and then run:

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/etc/ansible --rm=true 4nxio/ansible-docker ansible --help

It is recommended to use ansible specific SSH keys. So create and add them ssh-agent to be able to use encrypted private keys:

mkdir -p /home/foo/ansible/keys
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/foo/.ssh/id_ed25519): /home/foo/ansible/keys/ansible_key
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:Bhh1IfDWIin4PNLiEcWHtcvrSb05EXdY1MVn4yMokcE foo@bar
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ED25519 256]--+
|  ..=+o +o+.. o. |
| ..o *.+ E . . oo|
|... =.= . + . ..o|
| +...o.+ + o . o |
|o.=  o  S o   . .|
|.o..  oo         |
| .   o ..        |
|    o ..o        |
|     o o.        |
+----[SHA256]-----+

To be able to use the encrypted key you need to use ssh-agent:

ssh-add /home/foo/ansible/keys/ansible_key
Enter passphrase for /home/foo/ansible/keys/ansible_key: 
Identity added: /home/foo/ansible/keys/ansible_key (foo@bar)

Use the ssh-agent auth socket file and forward it to the docker image start:

docker run -it -v $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/tmp/ssh.sck -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh.sck -v /home/foo/ansible:/etc/ansible --rm=true 4nxio/ansible-docker ansible localhost -m ping
