state is present but all of the following are missing: source-CodePudding

I have Ansible script to build docker image:

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: build docker image
    docker_image:
      name: bionic
      path: /
      force: yes
    tags: deb

and Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:bionic
RUN export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive; \
  apt-get -qq update && \
  apt-get -qq install \
  software-properties-common git curl wget openjdk-8-jre-headless debhelper devscripts
WORKDIR /workspace

when I run next command: ansible-playbook build.yml -vvv I received next exception.

Could you please give me a hint how to debug and understand what this error mean? Thanks for your time and consideration.

CodePudding user response：

The error says a source: key must be present in the docker_image: block.

More specifically, most things in Ansible default to state: present. When you request a docker_image to be present, there are a couple of ways to get it (pulling it from a registry, building it from source, unpacking it from a tar file). Which way to do this is specified by the source: control, but Ansible does not have a default value for this.

If you're building an image, you need to specify source: build. Having done that, there are also a set of controls under build:. In particular, the path to the Docker image context (probably not /) goes there and not directly under docker_image:.

This leaves you with something like:

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: build docker image
    docker_image:
      name: bionic
      source: build  # <-- add
      build:         # <-- add
        path: /home/user/src/something  # <-- move under build:
      force: yes
    tags: deb
