Ansible Container

Ansible Container is a tool to build Docker images and orchestrate containers using only Ansible playbooks.

To install Ansible Container

Ansible Container is undergoing rapid development. For now, Ansible Container can only be installed from source. See INSTALL.md for details.

How it works

The ansible-container init command creates a directory ansible with files to get you started. Read the comments and edit to suit your needs.

The ansible-container build command creates images from the Ansible playbooks in the ansible directory.

The ansible-container run command launches the containers specified in container.yml. The format is nearly identical to docker-compose.

The ansible-container push command pushes the project's images to a container registry of your choice.

The ansible-container shipit command will export the necessary playbooks and roles to deploy your containers to a supported cloud provider.
