Hello, Does anyone have by any chance an ansible playbook to setup docker on a debian trixie?
This is my first experience with Ansible, i thought this would be easy and straightforward. I used existing ones for debian 12 as template and yes, with ai, and taking things from other templates, i am trying to make this work. but for the life of me, i cannot crack this.
i began with the most simple steps:
- name: install Docker hosts: all become: true tasks: - name: Install apt-transport-https ansible.builtin.apt: name: - apt-transport-https - ca-certificates - lsb-release - gnupg state: latest update_cache: true - name: Create keyrings directory ansible.builtin.file: path: /etc/apt/keyrings state: directory mode: '0755' - name: Add Docker GPG key ansible.builtin.shell: | curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg args: creates: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg - name: Add Docker repository ansible.builtin.apt_repository: repo: "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian trixie stable" state: present filename: docker - name: Install Docker ansible.builtin.apt: name: - docker-ce - docker-ce-cli - containerd.io - docker-buildx-plugin - docker-compose-plugin state: latest update_cache: true
and added some debug stuff that really didnt help that much:
- name: Install Docker Engine and Docker Compose on Debian (Ansible WebUI compatible) hosts: all become: true become_user: root vars: docker_packages: - docker-ce - docker-ce-cli - containerd.io - docker-buildx-plugin - docker-compose-plugin tasks: - name: Ensure required packages are installed apt: name: - ca-certificates - curl - gnupg update_cache: yes state: present delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: Ensure /etc/apt/keyrings exists file: path: /etc/apt/keyrings state: directory mode: '0755' delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: Get system architecture for Docker repo ansible.builtin.command: dpkg --print-architecture register: dpkg_architecture changed_when: false delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: Download Docker GPG key ansible.builtin.get_url: url: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg dest: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc mode: '0644' delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: DEBUG - Check if GPG key exists ansible.builtin.stat: path: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc register: gpg_key_stat delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: DEBUG - Show GPG key status ansible.builtin.debug: msg: "GPG key exists: {{ gpg_key_stat.stat.exists }}, Size: {{ gpg_key_stat.stat.size | default('N/A') }}" - name: DEBUG - List keyrings directory ansible.builtin.command: ls -lah /etc/apt/keyrings/ register: keyrings_list delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: DEBUG - Show keyrings directory contents ansible.builtin.debug: var: keyrings_list.stdout_lines - name: Add Docker APT repository (correct for Debian 13) ansible.builtin.apt_repository: repo: "deb [arch={{ dpkg_architecture.stdout }} signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian {{ ansible_distribution_release }} stable" filename: docker state: present delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: DEBUG - Check if repo file exists ansible.builtin.stat: path: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list register: repo_file_stat delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: DEBUG - Show repo file status ansible.builtin.debug: msg: "Repo file exists: {{ repo_file_stat.stat.exists }}" - name: DEBUG - Show repo file contents if exists ansible.builtin.command: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list register: repo_contents when: repo_file_stat.stat.exists failed_when: false delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: DEBUG - Display repo contents ansible.builtin.debug: var: repo_contents.stdout_lines when: repo_file_stat.stat.exists - name: Update apt cache after adding repo apt: update_cache: yes delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: Install Docker packages apt: name: "{{ docker_packages }}" state: present delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" - name: Enable & start Docker service: name: docker state: started enabled: yes delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
but everytime it fails at adding the package because its not found. because the repo was not added, my keyrings folder is miserably empty.
the target server has only root. so no user confusion there. yes, i know. bad practice. but its a learning exercise and its a lxc within my home network not internet exposed.

I am using ansible-webui.oxl.app although i doubt it has any effect whatsoever. but then again, i know next to nothing of ansible as of yet. so, for sure: what i am missing is incredibly dumb.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

You are adding a new repo, but you should know that the debian repos already contain docker (via
docker.io) anddocker-compose.MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
It does but will be really out of date.
audricd@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
oh! I wasnt aware of that? i see its slightly outdated, it has version 26 as opposed to 29 from its official source. at least in trixie stableImageImage

I don’t really understand why this is a concern with docker. Are there any particular features you want from version 29 that version 26 doesn’t offer?
The entire point of docker is that it doesn’t really matter what version of docker you have, the containers can still run.
Debian’s version of docker receives security updates in a timely manner, which should be enough.
