Is there no official Docker image for Ansible?

Hey all,

I just thought of a very edge case use for Ansible that would work well if I could run it via Docker. When I looked for an image, I found that ansible/ansible hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

Before I commit to just installing it inside an Ubuntu image, I thought I’d confirm that there is no official image. Is that true?

Thanks!

I would love to know this answer as well. I’ve had good success using Jeff Geerling’s container images: https://ansible.jeffgeerling.com/#container-images-testing but would ideally use an official image.

Thanks,
Dakota

We do not maintain an independent docker image for ansible itself.

You should look into the ansible-runner image, as that is the base used by ansible-builder, and will become more common with the introduction of execution environments.
