## Using Ansible via Docker

Alternatively, you can run Ansible on your computer from inside a Docker container (powered by the [devture/ansible](https://hub.docker.com/r/devture/ansible/) Docker image).

Alternatively, you can run Ansible inside a Docker container (powered by the [devture/ansible](https://hub.docker.com/r/devture/ansible/) Docker image).
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a sample command to get you started (run this from the playbook's directory):
|
||||
This ensures that you're using a very recent Ansible version, which is less likely to be incompatible with the playbook.
|
||||
|
||||
There are 2 ways to go about it:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Running Ansible in a container on the Matrix server itself](#running-ansible-in-a-container-on-the-matrix-server-itself)
|
||||
- [Running Ansible in a container on another computer (not the Matrix server)](#running-ansible-in-a-container-on-another-computer-not-the-matrix-server)

### Running Ansible in a container on the Matrix server itself
|
||||
|
||||
To run Ansible in a (Docker) container on the Matrix server itself, you need to have a working Docker installation.
|
||||
Docker is normally installed by the playbook, so this may be a bit of a chicken and egg problem. To solve it:
|
||||
|
||||
- you **either** need to install Docker manually first. Follow [the upstream instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) for your distribution and consider setting `matrix_docker_installation_enabled: false` in your `vars.yml` file, to prevent the playbook from installing Docker
|
||||
- **or** you need to run the playbook in another way (e.g. [Running Ansible in a container on another computer (not the Matrix server)](#running-ansible-in-a-container-on-another-computer-not-the-matrix-server)) at least the first time around
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a working Docker installation on the server, **clone the playbook** somewhere on the server and configure it as per usual (`inventory/hosts`, `inventory/host_vars/..`, etc.), as described in [configuring the playbook](configuring-playbook.md).
|
||||
|
||||
You would then need to add `ansible_connection=community.docker.nsenter` to the host line in `inventory/hosts`. This tells Ansible to connect to the "remote" machine by switching Linux namespaces with [nsenter](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/nsenter.1.html), instead of using SSH.
|
||||
Alternatively, you can leave your `inventory/hosts` as is and specify the connection type in **each** `ansible-playbook` call you do later, like this: `ansible-playbook --connection=community.docker.nsenter ...`
|
||||
|
||||
Run this from the playbook's directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker run -it --rm \
|
||||
--privileged \
|
||||
--pid=host \
|
||||
-w /work \
|
||||
-v `pwd`:/work \
|
||||
--entrypoint=/bin/sh \
|
||||
docker.io/devture/ansible:2.13.0-r0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once you execute the above command, you'll be dropped into a `/work` directory inside a Docker container.
|
||||
The `/work` directory contains the playbook's code.
|
||||
|
||||
You can execute `ansible-playbook ...` (or `ansible-playbook --connection=community.docker.nsenter ...`) commands as per normal now.

If you don't use SSH keys for authentication, simply remove that whole line (`-v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/root/.ssh/id_rsa:ro`).

To authenticate at your server using a password, you need to add a package. So, when you are in the shell of the ansible docker container (the previously used `docker run -it ...` command), run:
