How to create a docker container using Ansible playbook

Question

Hi Guys,

I have configured the docker in my remote systems. I want to launch one container in remote systems using the Ansible playbook. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the docker_container module in Ansible. This module is used to create a docker container. I have attached one playbook below for your reference. 

  - name: Create a docker container
    docker_container:
      name: myos
      image: vimal13/apache-webserver-php
      ports:
        - "82:80"

You can also go through the Ansible document for more information.
