Rocky Linux 8.6 Ansible Test Image

License: Unlicense Release

Rocky Linux 8.6 container for Ansible playbook and role testing.

Image Tags

  • latest: Latest stable version of Ansible (lightweight image for basic validation of Ansible playbooks).

How to Build

This image is built on GitHub automatically any time a commit is made or merged to the main branch and tagged. But if you need to build the image on your own locally, do the following:

  1. Install Podman or Docker.

    • In the commands below, podman may be interchanged with docker depending on your choice.
  2. cd into the directory containing this repository.

  3. Build the image:

    podman build --file Containerfile --tag rockylinux8.6-ansible .   

How to Use

  1. Install Podman or Docker.

    • In the commands below, podman may be interchanged with docker depending on your choice.
  2. Pull this image from GitHub (or use the image you built above rockylinux8.6-ansible:latest):

    podman pull ghcr.io/chpc-uofu/container-rockylinux8.6-ansible:latest
  3. Run a container from the image:

    podman run --detach --privileged --volume=/sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro ghcr.io/chpc-uofu/container-rockylinux8.6-ansible:latest

    To test Ansible roles it is helpful to add in a volume from the current working directory with the following option:

    --volume=${PWD}:/etc/ansible/roles/role_under_test:ro
  4. Use Ansible inside the container. Here are a few examples.

    Check Ansible's version:

    podman exec --tty [container_id] env TERM=xterm ansible --version

    Check the syntax of an Ansible playbook:

    podman exec --tty [container_id] env TERM=xterm ansible-playbook /path/to/ansible/playbook.yml --syntax-check

How to Contribute

  1. Submit a pull request against main.
  2. Once the automated status checks pass, complete the pull request by squash-merging with main.
  3. Apply a semantic version tag to the resulting commit (e.g. v1.0.1).
  4. At this point the automatic image build on GitHub will trigger, tagging the new image with the semantic version and latest.
