Developers

This image uses the latest Ubuntu LTS release as base image and installs the latest ansible package that the official Ansible Ubuntu PPA provides. ansible-lint is installed in its own virtual environment to avoid distro package compatibility issues with the PPA Ansible packages.

Build the image with:

docker build -f Dockerfile -t ansible:test .

The build runs a smoke test for ansible, ansible-galaxy, and ansible-lint. If one of them is missing, not executable or fails during execution, docker build fails immediately.

You can also re-run the same check against a built image:

docker run --rm ansible:test /usr/local/bin/verify-tools

Know Problems

The build fails with an error complaining about not finding a particular python version.

This can happen, if Ubuntu decides to ship a new minor version of python. In this case you can check which versions are actually ship and update them in the Dockerfile.
