not able to pull ansible image-CodePudding

I am trying to pull the ansible image, I search on hub.docker.com, I found the one, which was updated 4 years ago https://hub.docker.com/r/ansible/ansible.

When I was trying to pull that, its not working.

$ docker pull ansible/ansible
Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: manifest for ansible/ansible:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown

I also check, if there is any networking issue, but I am able to download the alpine image.

$ docker image pull alpine
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/alpine
59bf1c3509f3: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:21a3deaa0d32a8057914f36584b5288d2e5ecc984380bc0118285c70fa8c9300
Status: Downloaded newer image for alpine:latest
docker.io/library/alpine:latest

means it works :D .

I am also looking for ansible official image, but there is no official image?

CodePudding user response：

It takes less than 5 minutes to build your own from a base python image leaving you absolute and full control over the version of python you want to use, the optional python packages to install, the exact version of ansible to use, the optional collections to install...

Below an example Dockerfile to install a base ansible in latest version in the latest available python version. Adapt to your own needs.

FROM python:latest

RUN pip install ansible

CMD bash

From the directory where your create that file run

docker build -t ansible:mytag .

Then enjoy

$ docker run -it --rm --name ansible_test_container ansible:mytag
