# Ansible Base Testing Environment PRD
**Status:** Draft | **Author:** Artemis (AI Foreman) | **Date:** 2026-06-03
---
## 1. Purpose & Scope
A minimal, containerized Ansible environment for playbook development and ad-hoc fleet testing. This is the Iron Legion standard for validating inventories and playbooks before promoting to production.
---
## 2. Directory Structure
```
~/docker/ansible-push/
├── docker-compose.yml # Ansible runner container definition
├── dockerfile # Build: Python 3.14 Alpine + Ansible 14
├── run.sh # One-shot test runner
├── inventory.yml # Iron Legion fleet inventory (YAML format)
└── keys/
├── id_ed25519 # Private key (chmod 600)
├── id_ed25519.pub # Public key (chmod 644)
└── known_hosts # Auto-populated by successful connections
```
---
## 3. docker-compose.yml
```yaml
services:
ansible:
build: .
container_name: ansible
image: ansible
environment:
- ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=false
- ANSIBLE_PYTHON_INTERPRETER=/usr/bin/python3.12
volumes:
- .:/ansible
- ./keys:/root/.ssh
working_dir: /ansible
entrypoint: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
command: ["tail -f /dev/null"]
```
---
## 4. dockerfile
```dockerfile
FROM python:3.14.5-alpine3.23
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir ansible==14.0.0 && apk add --no-cache curl openssh-client
```
---
## 5. run.sh
```bash
docker compose up -d
docker exec -it ansible ansible all -m ping -i inventory.yml
docker compose down
```
---
## 6. Key Management
The `keys/` directory is bind-mounted to `/root/.ssh` inside the container. SSH auto-discovers the standard `id_ed25519` key — no explicit `ansible_ssh_private_key_file` needed for passwordless hosts.
- **File:** `id_ed25519` → Container: `/root/.ssh/id_ed25519` → Perms: `600`
- **File:** `id_ed25519.pub` → Container: `/root/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub` → Perms: `644`
- **File:** `known_hosts` → Container: `/root/.ssh/known_hosts` → Auto-populated

## 7. Working inventory.yml (Validated: 10/10 green)
```yaml
# Iron Legion Fleet Inventory
# Generated: 2026-06-03
# Source: fleet documentation + live SSH config
#
# Usage with Ansible:
# ansible all -m ping -i inventory.yml
# ansible pve_workers -m setup -i inventory.yml
# ansible swarm_manager -a "docker service ls" -i inventory.yml
#
# FIX: Group-specific variables (e.g. pve_workers:) were previously
# placed outside `all:` scope, breaking inventory parsing.
# All group vars are now merged into the group definitions below.

## 8. Notes on Inventory Design
- **YAML format:** `all: children:` nesting required. Orphaned top-level keys like `pve_workers:` outside `all:` scope cause "invalid characters in hostnames" errors.
- **Group-level auth:** PVE workers use `vars:` under their group for `ansible_user`, `ansible_ssh_pass`, `ansible_become`, and `ansible_python_interpreter` — keeps host entries DRY.
- **SSH key auto-discovery:** No explicit `ansible_ssh_private_key_file` needed when the key is named `id_ed25519` and mounted to `/root/.ssh` inside the container.
- **Host key checking:** `ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING=false` in compose handles first-contact acceptance automatically.

## 9. Testing Playbooks
```bash
cd ~/docker/ansible-push
docker compose up -d
docker exec -it ansible ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbook.yml
docker compose down
```
