The documentation says:
Repository path and tag used to create the container. If an image is not found or pull is true, the image will be pulled from the registry.
But a simple usage of docker_container:
- name: start docker container
docker_container:
name: container1
image: image:1.0
state: started
Yields the error:
fatal: [docker1]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “Error creating container: 404 Client Error: Not Found ("No such image: image:1.0.0")”}
The docker login is done on the remote docker host to pull from my private docker repo and the playbook works fine after i manually executed the docker pull command. I thought the module will try to pull image if not found locally.
