Description

Set up the foundational architecture for Ansible-dev, beginning with the creation of a container for the Ansible server.

Technical details

In the Dockerfile for the Ansible server, we start with the Debian 12 Slim OS and install necessary packages referenced from the Docker Hub Ansible image. We also install Ansible and generate SSH keys for future connections with managed nodes.

Great work!!

copy content of directory rather than individual files

- COPY config/ansible.cfg /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
+ COPY ../config/ /etc/ansible/

[Shafiya-Heena]

Lets use venv and provide complete path for ansible-venv

- RUN python3 -m virtualenv /ansible-venv
+ RUN python3 -m venv /opt/ansible-venv --system-site-packages && \    
+ /opt/ansible-venv/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir ansible

container should be running so add thec command

+ command: sh -c 'trap "exit" TERM; while true; do sleep 1; done'

[Shafiya-Heena]

this is a basic setup file which we need to change/update later, especially remote_user

+ [defaults]
+ inventory = /etc/ansible/hosts
+ remote_user = root
+ host_key_checking = False
+ retry_files_enabled = False
