Synopsis ¶

Manages the Docker nodes via Swarm Manager.
This module allows to change the node’s role, its availability, and to modify, add or remove node labels.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Docker API >= 1.25
Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). For Python 2.6, docker-py must be used. Otherwise, it is recommended to install the docker Python module. Note that both modules should not be installed at the same time. Also note that when both modules are installed and one of them is uninstalled, the other might no longer function and a reinstall of it is required.
Docker SDK for Python >= 2.4.0

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_version string	Default: "auto"	The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by Docker SDK for Python and the docker daemon. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_API_VERSION` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. aliases: docker_api_version
availability string	Choices: active pause drain	Node availability to assign. If not provided then node availability remains unchanged.
ca_cert path		Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` is set, the file `ca.pem` from the directory specified in the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` will be used. aliases: tls_ca_cert, cacert_path
client_cert path		Path to the client's TLS certificate file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` is set, the file `cert.pem` from the directory specified in the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` will be used. aliases: tls_client_cert, cert_path
client_key path		Path to the client's TLS key file. If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` is set, the file `key.pem` from the directory specified in the environment variable `DOCKER_CERT_PATH` will be used. aliases: tls_client_key, key_path
debug boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Debug mode
docker_host string	Default: "unix://var/run/docker.sock"	The URL or Unix socket path used to connect to the Docker API. To connect to a remote host, provide the TCP connection string. For example, `tcp://192.0.2.23:2376`. If TLS is used to encrypt the connection, the module will automatically replace `tcp` in the connection URL with `https`. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_HOST` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. aliases: docker_url
hostname string / required		The hostname or ID of node as registered in Swarm. If more than one node is registered using the same hostname the ID must be used, otherwise module will fail.
labels dictionary		User-defined key/value metadata that will be assigned as node attribute. Label operations in this module apply to the docker swarm node specified by hostname. Use community.general.docker_swarm module to add/modify/remove swarm cluster labels. The actual state of labels assigned to the node when module completes its work depends on labels_state and labels_to_remove parameters values. See description below.
labels_state string	Choices: merge ← replace	It defines the operation on the labels assigned to node and labels specified in labels option. Set to `merge` to combine labels provided in labels with those already assigned to the node. If no labels are assigned then it will add listed labels. For labels that are already assigned to the node, it will update their values. The labels not specified in labels will remain unchanged. If labels is empty then no changes will be made. Set to `replace` to replace all assigned labels with provided ones. If labels is empty then all labels assigned to the node will be removed.
labels_to_remove list / elements=string		List of labels that will be removed from the node configuration. The list has to contain only label names, not their values. If the label provided on the list is not assigned to the node, the entry is ignored. If the label is both on the labels_to_remove and labels, then value provided in labels remains assigned to the node. If labels_state is `replace` and labels is not provided or empty then all labels assigned to node are removed and labels_to_remove is ignored.
role string	Choices: manager worker	Node role to assign. If not provided then node role remains unchanged.
ssl_version string		Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by ssl.py module. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_SSL_VERSION` will be used instead.
timeout integer	Default: 60	The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TIMEOUT` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. Note that if validate_certs is set to `yes` as well, it will take precedence. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TLS` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls_hostname string	Default: "localhost"	When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY` will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used. aliases: tls_verify

Notes ¶

Note

Connect to the Docker daemon by providing parameters with each task or by defining environment variables. You can define DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME, DOCKER_API_VERSION, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, DOCKER_SSL_VERSION, DOCKER_TLS, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY and DOCKER_TIMEOUT. If you are using docker machine, run the script shipped with the product that sets up the environment. It will set these variables for you. See https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/env/ for more details.
When connecting to Docker daemon with TLS, you might need to install additional Python packages. For the Docker SDK for Python, version 2.4 or newer, this can be done by installing docker[tls] with ansible.builtin.pip.
Note that the Docker SDK for Python only allows to specify the path to the Docker configuration for very few functions. In general, it will use $HOME/.docker/config.json if the DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable is not specified, and use $DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json otherwise.
