I’m trying to achieve the following behavior via the Ansible-Docker module

1. Check if currently deployed container image is of desired version; if so, exit else proceed
2. Pull updated image
3. Stop/remove currently deployed container image
4. Start new container image

I know using ‘latest’ would give this type of behavior, but we really want to be able to specify the specific version to check for.

Yeah - that would be a nice feature 🙂

A pull only option in the docker module, that lets you know if you have to restart the service or not. And restarts AFTER the pull is complete.
