community.docker.docker_plugin – Manage Docker plugins

Note

This plugin is part of the community.docker collection (version 1.10.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.docker.docker_plugin.

New in version 1.3.0: of community.docker

Synopsis

  • This module allows to install, delete, enable and disable Docker plugins.
  • Performs largely the same function as the docker plugin CLI subcommand.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Docker API >= 1.25
  • Docker SDK for Python: Please note that the docker-py Python module has been superseded by docker (see here for details). This module does not work with docker-py.
  • Docker SDK for Python >= 2.6.0
  • Python >= 2.7
  • python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
alias
string
added in 1.8.0 of community.docker
Local name for plugin.
api_version
string
Default:
"auto"
The version of the Docker API running on the Docker Host.
Defaults to the latest version of the API supported by Docker SDK for Python and the docker daemon.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_API_VERSION will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

aliases: docker_api_version
ca_cert
path
Use a CA certificate when performing server verification by providing the path to a CA certificate file.
If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file ca.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.

aliases: tls_ca_cert, cacert_path
client_cert
path
Path to the client's TLS certificate file.
If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file cert.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.

aliases: tls_client_cert, cert_path
client_key
path
Path to the client's TLS key file.
If the value is not specified in the task and the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH is set, the file key.pem from the directory specified in the environment variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH will be used.

aliases: tls_client_key, key_path
debug
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Debug mode
docker_host
string
Default:
"unix://var/run/docker.sock"
The URL or Unix socket path used to connect to the Docker API. To connect to a remote host, provide the TCP connection string. For example, tcp://192.0.2.23:2376. If TLS is used to encrypt the connection, the module will automatically replace tcp in the connection URL with https.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_HOST will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

aliases: docker_url
enable_timeout
integer
Default:
0
Timeout in seconds.
force_remove
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Remove even if the plugin is enabled.
plugin_name
string / required
Name of the plugin to operate on.
plugin_options
dictionary
Dictionary of plugin settings.
ssl_version
string
Provide a valid SSL version number. Default value determined by ssl.py module.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_SSL_VERSION will be used instead.
state
string
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
  • enable
  • disable
absent remove the plugin.
present install the plugin, if it does not already exist.
enable enable the plugin.
disable disable the plugin.
timeout
integer
Default:
60
The maximum amount of time in seconds to wait on a response from the API.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TIMEOUT will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Secure the connection to the API by using TLS without verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server. Note that if validate_certs is set to yes as well, it will take precedence.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
tls_hostname
string
When verifying the authenticity of the Docker Host server, provide the expected name of the server.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.
The current default value is localhost. This default is deprecated and will change in community.docker 2.0.0 to be a value computed from docker_host. Explicitly specify localhost to make sure this value will still be used, and to disable the deprecation message which will be shown otherwise.
use_ssh_client
boolean
added in 1.5.0 of community.docker
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
For SSH transports, use the ssh CLI tool instead of paramiko.
Requires Docker SDK for Python 4.4.0 or newer.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Secure the connection to the API by using TLS and verifying the authenticity of the Docker host server.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY will be used instead. If the environment variable is not set, the default value will be used.

aliases: tls_verify

Notes

Note

  • Connect to the Docker daemon by providing parameters with each task or by defining environment variables. You can define DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_HOSTNAME, DOCKER_API_VERSION, DOCKER_CERT_PATH, DOCKER_SSL_VERSION, DOCKER_TLS, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY and DOCKER_TIMEOUT. If you are using docker machine, run the script shipped with the product that sets up the environment. It will set these variables for you. See https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/env/ for more details.
  • When connecting to Docker daemon with TLS, you might need to install additional Python packages. For the Docker SDK for Python, version 2.4 or newer, this can be done by installing docker[tls] with ansible.builtin.pip.
  • Note that the Docker SDK for Python only allows to specify the path to the Docker configuration for very few functions. In general, it will use $HOME/.docker/config.json if the DOCKER_CONFIG environment variable is not specified, and use $DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json otherwise.
  • This module uses the Docker SDK for Python to communicate with the Docker daemon.
