• share your ssh agent with the ansible docker

Just add these aliases to your ~/.bash_aliases in order to use ansible as it where installed on your computer.

export DOCKER_ANSIBLE_VERSION=2.0
base_ansible() {
	docker run -it --rm --env ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER=${USER} --volume $SSH_AUTH_SOCK:/ssh-agent --env SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/ssh-agent -v ${PWD}:${PWD} -v ${HOME}/.ssh/known_hosts:/root/.ssh/known_hosts -w ${PWD} kitpages/docker-ansible:${DOCKER_ANSIBLE_VERSION} $@
}
alias ansible='base_ansible ansible'
alias ansible-playbook='base_ansible ansible-playbook'
alias ansible-vault='base_ansible ansible-vault'
alias ansible-galaxy='base_ansible ansible-galaxy'
