Provisioning Docker Containers Using Ansible: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
summary
Practical recipes for provisioning Docker containers with Ansible: installing Docker, using the docker‑py library to control containers, and building images and containers with reproducible playbooks. Shows verification via idempotence checks and runtime tests, using Molecule for test‑driven role development and CI‑style converge/destroy cycles, plus dynamic inventory to connect to running containers and strategies for hybrid hosts and docker‑compose fallback.
