The foreman-docker container provisioning is not as richly featured as host provisioning and it has me thinking what I would do differently.
For my case I needed to "docker run" the container and then "docker exec" several commands, and finally curl against it to configure. What I ended up doing, which worked beautifully, was to make an ansible role that accomplished all this plus additional steps of modifying the atomic host the container was running on. Magic! I did run into some issues and limitations with foreman-ansible plugin (I had to run ansible manually outside foreman) but overall ansible is the tool for the job. Looking at the ansible modules around docker it's clear that even if I had a nice wizard, if that wizard ended up generating me a playbook that I could further modify it would be awesome. I have very little knowledge of puppet and provisioning but I feel that wiring ansible into the container provisioning might be a very powerful introduction to ansible for foreman users. Is this a realistic idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
