Hi

What is the status for updating the support for newer Docker versions for the ansible-docker module?

The currently shipped version seems to be outdated and won’t run with the latest docker-py library.

I did a few quick modifications locally just to get it running again, but the new docker API contained a whole lot more than before. So I’d like to know if there is any ongoing effort in this area?

Especially the [port redirection](https://docs.docker.io/en/latest/use/port_redirection/)needs some love to reflect the capabilities the original docker API, this is also [reflected in docker-py](https://github.com/dotcloud/docker-py#port-bindings). On top of that there is functionality not supported today like working directories, linking, cpu throttling etc.

I’ve already merged in a pull request today, check it out!

There’s updates to the docker module and also a docker\_image module.

Hi

Cool, that looks like what I was hoping for.

Hi

Looking at the latest source for docker ‘priviledged’ is still included on line 390:  
[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/library/cloud/docker#L390](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/library/cloud/docker#L390)

This gives me an error with the latest docker.py from git. It has moved from create\_container to start. See:
