Synopsis ¶

Manage docker services. Allows live altering of already defined services

Requirements ¶

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

docker-py >= 2.0
Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). Version 2.1.0 or newer is only available with the docker module.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_version -	Default: "auto"	The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host. Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by docker-py. 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
args -	Default: []	List comprised of the command and the arguments to be run inside the container
cacert_path -		Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file.

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
configs -	Default: []	List of dictionaries describing the service configs. Every item must be a dictionary exposing the keys config_id, config_name, filename, uid (defaults to 0), gid (defaults to 0), mode (defaults to 0444) Maps docker service --config option. Requires API version >= 1.30

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

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://docker-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/machine/ 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 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.

Return Values ¶

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
changes list	always	List of changed service attributes if a service has been altered, [] otherwhise Sample: ['container_labels', 'replicas']
rebuilt boolean	always	True if the service has been recreated (removed and created) Sample: True
swarm_service dictionary	always	Dictionary of variables representing the current state of the service. Matches the module parameters format. Note that facts are not part of registered vars but accessible directly. Note that before Ansible 2.7.9, the return variable was documented as `ansible_swarm_service`, while the module actually returned a variable called `ansible_docker_service`. The variable was renamed to `swarm_service` in both code and documentation for Ansible 2.7.9 and Ansible 2.8.0. In Ansible 2.7.x, the old name `ansible_docker_service` can still be used. Sample: { "args": [ "sleep", "3600" ], "constraints": [], "container_labels": {}, "endpoint_mode": "vip", "env": [ "ENVVAR1=envvar1" ], "force_update": False, "image": "alpine", "labels": {}, "limit_cpu": 0.0, "limit_memory": 0, "log_driver": "json-file", "log_driver_options": {}, "mode": "replicated", "mounts": [ { "source": "/tmp/", "target": "/remote_tmp/", "type": "bind" } ], "secrets": [], "configs": [], "networks": [], "publish": [], "replicas": 1, "reserve_cpu": 0.0, "reserve_memory": 0, "restart_policy": "any", "restart_policy_attempts": 5, "restart_policy_delay": 0, "restart_policy_window": 30, "update_delay": 10, "update_parallelism": 1, "update_failure_action": "continue", "update_monitor": 5000000000 "update_max_failure_ratio": 0, "update_order": "stop-first" }
