- Containers must have a unique name. If you attempt to create a container
with a name that already existed in the users namespace the module will
simply return as "unchanged".
- There are two ways to can run commands in containers.
- Use the command module, for example:
- name: Install python in the created container
command: lxc exec my-ubuntu -- apt install -y python
- Use the ansible lxd connection plugin bundled in Ansible 2.1 or later.
- In order to use this method, first you need to install python in the container
with the above method. See the first example below.
- You can copy a file in the localhost to the created container
running `command: lxc file push filename container_name/dir/filename`
on localhost. See the first example below.
- You can copy a file in the creatd container to the localhost
running `command: lxc file pull container_name/dir/filename filename`.
See the first example below.
