I find docker\_image module, but this module is deprecated.

Yeah so we find it odd that a Dockerfile, that usually contains ansible-playbooks, would be executed by Ansible.

We think in most cases it would be executed by a build system (like Jenkins), or even a Makefile… and that like most packaging tools it would be done before the ansible-playbook was run.

So the command module is we think the nice way to go, if you really want to do that, and I think that’s fine.

Hope this helps!
