Clone into a new folder name matching whatever Ansible role you'd like to create.
git clone git@github.com:sacreman/docker-centos7-ansible.git my-ansible-role
Use the make commands mentioned in the section below to build and interact with the container.
Don't edit the Makefile or Rockerfile, they should work out of the box. The only reason to change these files
are if you need to expose ports, add galaxy requirements or alter the container base image.
Add Ansible roles into roles/ and reference them in playbook.yaml so they run.
Pass in extra variables to the roles in extra_vars.yaml.
Add inspec test files into test/inspec.
You'll need the following dependencies:
If you're in a hurry you can run all of the below with a single command.
make
Otherwise it may be best to run the individual commands below to get a feel for the workflow.
Build the testing image. You should only need to do this the first time.
make build
Now you have an image you can start it in the background. Leave it running forever if you're lazy like me.
make run
You can now work on Ansible by changing the files and running.
make config
A typical workflow will usually involve running his over and over again while making incremental Ansible changes.
Or work on tests by running.
make test
Again, this can be done iteratively. You can add or change a test and run this over and over again until it passes.
The tests usually depend on the make config having run to completion so you may want to ensure that was run first.
To wipe the config just restart the container or run make clean and you're instantly back to a fresh image you can
apply make config to. It's generally a good idea to do this as a final test before raising a PR.
For when it all goes wrong.
make mrproper
This will stop and remove all container images related to this module. You'll then need to make to recreate
everything.
If you want to have a poke around inside the container to debug you can use make ssh. Then ctrl+d to exit when
