  • hosts: windows
    tasks:
  • name: Enable Windows Container Feature
    win_feature:
    name: Containers
    state: present
  • name: Install Nuget Package Provider
    win_shell: Install-PackageProvider -Name “NuGet” -MinimumVersion “2.8.5.201” -Force
  • name: Install Docker Msft Module
    win_shell: Install-Module -Name “DockerMsftProvider” -Repository “PSGallery” -Force

Hi,

I am curious if you got any further with this.

I looked at the link above but couldn’t see any powershell command like you show to install docker. It looks like there is a .msi installer now, which I would hope could be installed using the win_package module.

The .msi installer is described on this page

https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/#install-docker-for-windows

Hi,

I experienced the same issue.
Install-Package works from both local powershell session or remote with “Enter-PSSession”, but not from Ansible.

Apparently it has something to do with how Ansible does winrm and BITS.
Try switching to DockerMsftProviderInsider. It worked for me.

Similar issue with packer: https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows/pull/33

It's interesting that is worked over a PSSession but still failed with Ansible. PSSession is run over WinRM which is the same protocol Ansible uses so if it didn't fail there there must be something else going on.

5

Strange indeed.

At least one difference would be that PSSession sends encrypted winrm payload over http, while ansible runs unencrypted winrm over https port, afaik.

Can you paste the Ansible-tasks you got working? Seeing the same issues here…

Not sure if this will help you or not but you might be able to get some ideas from my Ansible role for Windows Docker installation.

I got it working from the powershell-module with the following tasks:

  • name: Enable Windows Container Feature
    win_feature:
    name: Containers
    state: present
    register: dockerwindowsfeature

  • name: Reboot server if Windows Container Feature requires it
    win_reboot:
    when: dockerwindowsfeature.reboot_required

  • name: Add DockerMsftProviderInsider powershell module repository
    win_psmodule:
    name: DockerMsftProviderInsider
    state: present

  • name: Install Docker package
    win_shell: Install-Package –ProviderName “DockerMsftProviderInsider” -Name “Docker” -Force
    args:
    creates: “C:\Program Files\Docker\metadata.json”
    register: dockerinstall

  • name: Reboot server if Docker package requires it
    win_reboot:
    when: dockerinstall.changed

Might help somebody out.

Awesome. Glad you got it sorted out.
