Users

User	Description
ansible	This is the default user, for use by ansible. This user enables SSH from inside of a container, when used with a SSH bind mount (see "Mounts", below).

Mounts

Mount	Description
/app	The expected mount path for an ansible project
/home/ansible/.ssh	The default ansible user's SSH Directory. Private keys can be mounted inside of this directory for use by ansible-playbook during runs.

Usage

This image can be used by any ansible project. If SSH is required, be sure to mount the ~/.ssh so the local user's keys are available.
