Setup Docker

Quicly install and configure docker on a linux host:

• Install containerd
• Install Docker Engine (CE)
• Install Docker Client
• Configure docker daemon through daemon.json file

Requirements

You only need to have an SSH access to the remote host in order to play this role.

Role Variables

You can configure docker with the following variables:

Variable	Default	Description
docker_repo	"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu {{ansible_distribution_release}} stable"	The apt repository where to install docker packages from. Note that {{ ansible_distribution_release}} will be substituted with the ubuntu release or remote host (e.g, trusty, xenial, bionic, ...)
docker_packages	["docker-ce", "docker-ce-cli", "containerd.io"]	Packages to install. You can choose to install only docker engine (e.g, docker-ce) or install only the docker client (docker-ce-cli)
docker_service_state	"started"	Desired state for docker service
docker_service_enabled	true	Register docker service to start at boot.
docker_restart_handler_state	"restarted"	Desired state of docker service after performing modification of docker service configuration.

Example Playbook

Most of the time, you only need to configure users:

- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - setup_docker
