Rolling out containers w/ Ansible
22nd August 2019
I’m not huge on containers, but I can see and appreciate their value in rolling things out fast for testing purposes. I have my own server(s) running here and there and I use Ansible for handling pretty much everything on them. Until not long ago, Docker containers were among notable exceptions from that rule. But then I finally discovered1 docker_container
module. The only thing I was still missing was better handling of defining multiple containers.2
