docker_config – Manage docker configs¶
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis¶
- Create and remove Docker configs in a Swarm environment. Similar to
docker config createanddocker config rm. - Adds to the metadata of new configs ‘ansible_key’, an encrypted hash representation of the data, which is then used in future runs to test if a config has changed. If ‘ansible_key’ is not present, then a config will not be updated unless the force option is set.
- Updates to configs are performed by removing the config and creating it again.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- Docker API >= 1.30
- Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). This module does not work with docker-py.
- Docker SDK for Python >= 2.6.0
- Python >= 2.7
Parameters¶
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_VERIFYandDOCKER_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 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
$HOME/.docker/config.jsonif theDOCKER_CONFIGenvironment variable is not specified, and use$DOCKER_CONFIG/config.jsonotherwise.
Examples¶
- name: Create config foo (from a file on the control machine)
docker_config:
name: foo
# If the file is JSON or binary, Ansible might modify it (because
# it is first decoded and later re-encoded). Base64-encoding the
# file directly after reading it prevents this to happen.
data: "{{ lookup('file', '/path/to/config/file') | b64encode }}"
data_is_b64: true
state: present
- name: Change the config data
docker_config:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: baz
one: '1'
state: present
- name: Add a new label
docker_config:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: baz
one: '1'
# Adding a new label will cause a remove/create of the config
two: '2'
state: present
- name: No change
docker_config:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: baz
one: '1'
# Even though 'two' is missing, there is no change to the existing config
state: present
- name: Update an existing label
docker_config:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
labels:
bar: monkey # Changing a label will cause a remove/create of the config
one: '1'
state: present
- name: Force the (re-)creation of the config
docker_config:
name: foo
data: Goodnight everyone!
force: yes
state: present
- name: Remove config foo
docker_config:
name: foo
state: absent
