Docker Serialized Ansible image

This project contains a Docker image for serializing Ansible runs.

Usage

docker run
	-v $PWD:/ansible:ro \
	-e ANSIBLE_PROJECT=myproject \
	-e ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK=playbook.yml \
	-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE \
	-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY \
	goabout/ansible

Mount the directory containing your playbooks at /ansible. By default, the container will run the site.yml playbook. This can be changed using the ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK environment variable.

Using AWS DynamoDB, the container makes sure only one playbook is run concurrently for any project. If the same playbook is already waiting to be run, the container exits immediately. Use environment variables to set the AWS credentials.

Environment variables

• ANSIBLE_PROJECT: The Ansible project name (default: ansible). Playbooks from different projects are allowed to run concurrently.
• ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK: The playbook to run (default: site.yml).
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: The AWS accesss key used to access DynamoDB.
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: The AWS access key used to access DynamoDB.
• AWS_REGION: The DynamoDB table region (default: us-east-1).
