Docker image for running ansible playbooks

To use this docker image, first build with

docker build -t ansible .

Then, to run with AWS access info in the environment so aws-related ansible modules can be used, run with

docker run -it -e "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" -e "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" ansible

Or for example to run it with a playbook on the host system (assuming "playbook.yml" is in the current working directory)

docker run --rm -v "`pwd`:/data" -e "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" -e "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" ansible ansible-playbook /data/playbook.yml`

It's helpful to create a bash alias, e.g.

alias run-ansible-playbook="docker run --rm -v \"`pwd`:/data\" -e \"AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\" -e \"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\" ansible ansible-playbook"
run-ansible-playbook /data/playbook.yml
