ansible-compose 1.0.8.post5
The obscene docker-compose deploy with ansible cli

ansible-compose: deploy docker-compose over ssh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deploying a docker-compose.yml
==============================

First, configure the dsn variable to have the user/host and path to store the
compose files in. If not set, localhost in current working directory will be
used::

   export dsn=user@host:22/absolute/target/path

Then, run ansible-compose apply -f as you would with k8s::

   ansible-compose apply -f ./docker-compose-example.yml -f ./examples/nginx.yml

Or, deploy from a url, just like kubectl apply would let you::

   ansible-compose apply -f https://raw.git.../docker-compose.yml

Running commands on the compose of a target
===========================================

Provide ssh configuration and target dir as first argument, then the
docker-compose command::

   export dsn=user@host:22/absolute/target/path
   ansible-compose stop
   ansible-compose start
   ansible-compose logs
   ansible-compose help

Transforms for docker-compose.yml on the CLI
============================================

Transforms apply on the docker-compose.yml as if it was a template we are going
to render using environment variables.

Suppose that you start with such a docker-compose.yml:

.. code-block:: yaml

   version: '3.4'
   services:
     web:
       build: .
       environment:
         base: here
         wrong: todrop

First, all build lines will be dropped. You will have to
specify images with env vars ie.::

   web_image=abc  # sets services[web][image]=abc

If you wanted to drop the environment line use the drop
prefix::

   drop_web_environment=  # dels services[web][environment]

You can also override deeper in the YAML tree::

   web_environment_SECRET_TOKEN=yoursecret

Even for drop::

   drop_web_environment_VERSION=

Or even drop a whole service::

   drop_web=

You can however require all variables to have a particular prefix, ie::

   dev_drop_mail=              # to prevent the mail service on dev branches
   ansible_compose_prefix=dev  # to enable only variables starting with dev_

Don't forget ansible-compose will also forward extraneous arguments to the
ansible-playbook call beneath.

Automatic creation of volume dirs
=================================

It will try to automatically create the volume bind dirs for you. To set the
uid and/or guid, set them as env vars, either in the compose.yml::

   environment:
     uid: 1001
     gid: 100

Or with an env var::

   web_environment_uid=1001

Installation
============

Local::

   pip install --user ansible-compose
   export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
   echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

The current configuration in CI for image yourlabs/ansible-compose is:

- ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=false
- SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=our passwordless private key generated with ssh-keygen -t ed25519 and default options
- SSH_INSECURE=true not checking any host key today !

Example gitlab ci job
=====================

.. code-block:: yaml

   deploy:
      stage: deploy
      image: yourlabs/ansible-compose
      variables:
      - dsn=deploy@example.com/home/staging
      script:
      - ansible-compose apply -f ./docker-compose.yml
