# Docker Community Collection

This repo contains the `community.docker` Ansible Collection. The collection includes many modules and plugins to work with Docker.

Please note that this collection does **not** support Windows targets. The connection plugins included in this collection support Windows targets on a best-effort basis, but we are not testing this in CI.

## Tested with Ansible

Tested with the current Ansible 2.9, ansible-base 2.10, ansible-core 2.11, ansible-core 2.12 and ansible-core 2.13 releases and the current development version of ansible-core. Ansible versions before 2.9.10 are not supported.

Please note that support for Ansible 2.9 and ansible-base 2.10 has been deprecated and will be dropped from community.docker 3.0.0 on.

## External requirements

Most modules and plugins require the [Docker SDK for Python](https://pypi.org/project/docker/). For Python 2.6 support, use [the deprecated docker-py library](https://pypi.org/project/docker-py/) instead.

Please note that Python 2.6 support has been deprecated and will be dropped from community.docker 3.0.0 on.

Both libraries cannot be installed at the same time. If you accidentally did install them simultaneously, you have to uninstall *both* before re-installing one of them.

## Using this collection

Before using the General community collection, you need to install the collection with the `ansible-galaxy` CLI:

    ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker

You can also include it in a `requirements.yml` file and install it via `ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml` using the format:

```yaml
collections:
- name: community.docker
```

See [Ansible Using collections](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/collections_using.html) for more details.

## Contributing to this collection

If you want to develop new content for this collection or improve what is already here, the easiest way to work on the collection is to clone it into one of the configured [`COLLECTIONS_PATH`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#collections-paths), and work on it there.

You can find more information in the [developer guide for collections](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/dev_guide/developing_collections.html#contributing-to-collections), and in the [Ansible Community Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/index.html).

## Release notes

See the [changelog](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.docker/tree/stable-2/CHANGELOG.rst).
