Hi@akhtar,

You can use docker_container module in your Ansible playbook to launch MySQL container. I have attached one playbook below for your reference.

vars:
  docker_volume: db_data
  docker_network: ansible_net
  db_name: db

- name: "Launch database container"
  docker_container:
    name: "{{ db_name }}"
    image: mysql:5.7
  volumes:
    - "{{ docker_volume }}:/var/lib/mysql:rw"
  restart: true
  networks:
  - name: "{{ docker_network }}"
  alias:
  - "{{ db_name }}"
  env:
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: wordpress
    MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress
    MYSQL_USER: wordpress
    MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpress
