Hi,

I am trying to install ansible on docker on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04LTS

You haven't stated what you are trying to achieve, so I'll assume you  
want to run an ansible control machine from a container.  
If this is the case, then [https://hub.docker.com/r/ansible/ansible/](https://hub.docker.com/r/ansible/ansible/)  
lists your issue:

"Images for automated testing of Ansible. They do not include Ansible  
and are not for end users."

Check out [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation\_guide/intro\_installation.html#installing-the-control-machine](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html#installing-the-control-machine)  
as well.
