This looks quite ok, but there’s something really strange, because there is no official 1.4.0(-dev) version on PyPi or even github.

usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/docker/_init_.py This can also be verified via pip and python’s help() or pydoc: # pip list | grep docker

Summary : An API client for docker written in PythonĪn API client for docker written in PythonĪs you can see the version 1.4.0 is installed. When you install the docker-py module via yum, you’ll end up with something like this: # rpm -qi docker-python This is where the problem starts on RHEL or CentOS 7, because docker-py is available via PyPi, therefor pip and finally via yum / RHN channels as well. To use Ansible’s docker module, you’ve to make sure the docker-py library is installed. We do that by creating a new Ansible role named docker and then add the installation of the required packages ( docker, docker-py) as a task. Now every role which uses Ansible’s docker module adds our docker role as dependency, therefor the docker and docker-py packages are installed automatically. Here’s a simple playbook to run the hello-world Docker container on one of your systems: -Īnsible is written in Python, so is the docker module. Therefor it makes use of the docker-py Python library to manage containers. This works pretty well if your system is configured properly. We use Ansible to deploy Docker containers on our systems and the infrastructures of our customers.
