ansible-deploy

A smallish container based on alpine providing ansible support to drive infrastructure from inside a container.

Why?

Deploying from CI/CD through gitlab you need lightweight tools to push code around or drive various processes, Using this container allows for easy orchestration of complex systems driven through code.

docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/deployment -w /deployment terzom/ansible-deploy sh

Inside gitlab-ci.yml

variables:
  keyfile: /tmp/ssh_private.key
  ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING: "False"

  - sanity
  - deploy
