Dockerized Ansible

Prerequisites

1. Generate ed25519 SSH key pair

   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f {YOUR_PATH} -C "svcanisble"

2. Copy the private key to .secret folder

   cp {YOUR_PATH} .secret/id_ed25519

Providing Ansible access to remote hosts

1. Create svcanisble user on remote host.
2. Add svcanisble user to sudoers group.

Helpers

Script	Description
run.build.sh	Build image
run.sh	SSH into the container

Examples

Echo test

ansible-playbook playbook/echotest.yml -i inventory/test.ini -K

Other

1. In case the private hey has a passphrase

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

You will be prompted to enter the passphrase.

2. The example uses ed25519 SSH Key, if you want to use RSA key, you need to change the following files:

   • .secret/id_ed25519 -> .secret/id_rsa
   • Dockerfile:
     ARG privateKey=id_ed25519
ARG privateKey=id_rsa

3. The image supports hot reloading of playbooks, allowing you to just rerun the command after any changes, and it will execute with the updated playbook.
