This project uses ansible to build containers and images - through buildah - that are ultimately a development environment.
This was started because on the Fedora Silverblue OS one is supposed to use containers for everything and install very little on the actual OS.
So, borrowing a lot from Tomas Tomecek's excellent blog I set out to build my own development environment in a highly reproduce-able way.
From the top level directory run this command
ansible-playbook main.yml --extra-vars=@config.yml
to build the image.
Be sure to take a look at config.yml and reconfigure to what you want. There are a lot of configurations that are specific to me like image_name because that defaults to jeffo-dev-env which is perhaps not the image name that you want.
I could never get handler sharing across plays to work right, so I had to divide everything out into roles even though there's not much to any of them.
container -- this role configures the container
container-ctrl -- this role actually pulls and tags images. The other roles rely on it's handlers.
image -- this role installs rpms and makes users and does all the OS level stuff on the container
If the playbook fails, the next run of the playbook will correctly handle the error of using a container that's already in use.
or the hard way directly removing the containers.
buildah rm tmp/dev-wrk if you've replace the variable working_container then the command will be
build rm <container_name> replacing container_name here with what you've provided.
