Hi@akhtar,

The docker_network module (Ansible 2.2 or higher) can create a network in docker. You can use this module to create the network and after that use the docker_container module to lunch the container within that network.

vars:
  docker_network: ansible_net

- name: "Create a network"
  docker_network:
    name: "{{ docker_network }}"
