docker_container: How to add multiple Volumes - docker

Question

I am trying to execute with Ansible the following Docker command:
docker run --name soadb_test1 --network=soa_net --ip 172.16.1.10 -d -v $TEST1/SOADB-Volume/u01:/u01/ -v $TEST1/SOADB-Volume/u02:/u02/ -v $TEST1/SOADB-Volume/u03:/u03/ -v $TEST1/SOADB-Volume/u04:/u04/ -v $TEST1/SOADB-Volume/ORCL:/ORCL/ --env-file $ENV_HOME/db.env.list database/enterprise:12.2.0.1
This is my Ansible Script:
---
- name: Create DB container
docker_container:
name: "{{ name }}"
image: "{{ image }}"
env_file: "{{ env_file }}"
detach: yes
volumes:
- "{{ src_vol }}:{{ dest_vol }}"
- "{{ src_vol_2 }}:{{ dest_vol_2 }}"
- "{{ src_vol_3 }}:{{ dest_vol_3 }}"
- "{{ src_vol_4 }}:{{ dest_vol_4 }}"
- "{{ src_vol_5 }}:{{ dest_vol_5 }}"
networks:
- name: soa_net
ipv4_address: "{{ ip }}"
vars_files:
- vars.yml
When I run it I get the following error:
TASK [install_docker_DB : Create DB container] *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [soa_poc]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (docker_container) module: vars_files Supported parameters include: api_version, auto_remove, blkio_weight, cacert_path, cap_drop, capabilities, cert_path, cleanup, command, cpu_period, cpu_quota, cpu_shares, cpuset_cpus, cpuset_mems, debug, detach, devices, dns_opts, dns_search_domains, dns_servers, docker_host, domainname, entrypoint, env, env_file, etc_hosts, exposed_ports, force_kill, groups, hostname, ignore_image, image, init, interactive, ipc_mode, keep_volumes, kernel_memory, key_path, kill_signal, labels, links, log_driver, log_options, mac_address, memory, memory_reservation, memory_swap, memory_swappiness, name, network_mode, networks, oom_killer, oom_score_adj, output_logs, paused, pid_mode, privileged, published_ports, pull, purge_networks, read_only, recreate, restart, restart_policy, restart_retries, security_opts, shm_size, ssl_version, state, stop_signal, stop_timeout, sysctls, timeout, tls, tls_hostname, tls_verify, tmpfs, trust_image_content, tty, ulimits, user, userns_mode, uts, volume_driver, volumes, volumes_from, working_dir"}
Am i declaring the volumes the wrong way?

Answer 1

It looks like your indentation level for the vars_files entry is wrong - please move it to somewhere else:
---
- name: Create DB container
docker_container:
name: "{{ name }}"
image: "{{ image }}"
env_file: "{{ env_file }}"
detach: yes
volumes:
- "{{ src_vol }}:{{ dest_vol }}"
- "{{ src_vol_2 }}:{{ dest_vol_2 }}"
- "{{ src_vol_3 }}:{{ dest_vol_3 }}"
- "{{ src_vol_4 }}:{{ dest_vol_4 }}"
- "{{ src_vol_5 }}:{{ dest_vol_5 }}"
networks:
- name: soa_net
ipv4_address: "{{ ip }}"
The indentation for the first network entry was also wrong.
Depending on whether the above is from a playbook file, or from a role, the location of vars_files might differ. If this is a playbook, then vars_files should be at the same indentation level as tasks:
---
- hosts: all
vars_files:
- vars.yml
tasks:
- name: Create DB container
docker_container: ...
This has nothing to do with the volumes...
