# Deprecated



The ansible-container project is now officially deprecated. We will no longer be maintaining this repo or accepting any issues or pull requests.



The ansible-container project did two things, broadly speaking: it built containers, and it deployed containers to Kubernetes. Now there are new successor projects that perform these tasks.



For people who have been using ansible-container to build containers, we recommend using the ansible-bender project: https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-bender



For people who have been using ansible-container to deploy containers to Kubernetes, we recommend using Ansible Operators:

Thanks to all those who have used and contributed to ansible-container.



# Original README below



# Ansible Container



Ansible Container is a tool for building Docker images and orchestrating containers using Ansible playbooks.



## How it works



Use Ansible Container to manage the container lifecycle from development, through testing, to production:



* `ansible-container init`



  Creates files in the *current directory* to get you started. Read the comments, and edit to suit your needs.



* `ansible-container install`



  Downloads Ansible-Container-ready roles from [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com), and installs them in your project.



* `ansible-container build`



  Creates images from your Ansible playbooks.



* `ansible-container run`



  Launches the containers specified in the orchestration document, *container.yml*, for testing the built images. The 

  format of *container.yml* is nearly identical to Docker Compose.



* `ansible-container deploy`



  Pushes the project's container images to a registry of your choice, and generates a playbook capable of deploying the project on a supported cloud provider.



## Installing



Install using *pip*, the Python package manager:



    $ sudo pip install "ansible-container[docker,openshift]"

    

Or, to install without root privileges, use [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/) to first create a 

Python sandbox:

    

    $ virtualenv ansible-container

    $ source ansible-container/bin/activate

    $ pip install "ansible-container[docker,openshift]"



For more details, prerequisite, and instructions on installing the latest development release, please view our 

[Installation Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-container/installation.html).
