Hi,

I’m looking for a Docker image to run some playbook and roles with the latest Ansible version?

I tried build my own but I’m not a python user.

> FROM python:3.6.4-alpine3.7
> 
> RUN apk --update add git
> 
> WORKDIR /opt
> 
> RUN git clone [https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git](https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git) --recursive
> 
> WORKDIR /opt/ansible
> 
> RUN sh -c ‘source ./hacking/env-setup’
> 
> RUN pip install -r ./requirements.txt
> 
> WORKDIR /
> 
> # RUN ansible --version

> CMD [“sh”]

Getting the following with pip install -r ./requirements.txt

We do not package ansible in docker containers. There may be unofficial containers, but nothing official.

Doing so is easy enough though, and I do it for a personal project, you can see a Dockerfile at [https://github.com/sivel/ansible-template-ui/blob/master/docker/devel/Dockerfile](https://github.com/sivel/ansible-template-ui/blob/master/docker/devel/Dockerfile) for building it.

My linked Dockerfile is also built to work with alpine.

Hi,

If you are running on Linux or macOS, you can also setup a pyenv [1] to create an isolated Python/pip environment to run Ansible.

Thanks,
