I'm thinking about no longer setting up a virtualenv, pip installing docker / docker compose and switching the docker_login module to a shell script about ansible-docker HOT 2 CLOSED

I slept on it and I think I arrived at a reasonable solution based on the first option proposed above but with a few differences.

• We can leave things as they are now and pip install both docker and docker-compose
• Introduce a new docker__compose_v2_version: "" role default to control installing Docker Compose v2 (with pin support)

At this point the role will install both v1 and v2 which is fine because they can both co-exist. However if you wanted to prevent v1 from being installed this role already makes that easy. You can set docker__pip_docker_compose_state: "absent" and you're good to go.

These sets of changes are all backwards compatible, you'll always get v2 (because v2 is the future and stable at this point) and can opt-out of v1 if you want. In the future I may change the role to default to docker__pip_docker_compose_state: "absent" once more folks are used to using v2 but this default switch won't be in the next release.

I've already done these changes locally and tested it fully, it works. I'll commit and push them once I do a bit more clean up on this role. There's a few unrelated internal refactors that I'd like to do.

This has been implemented in ecae9c9 and it's available in v2.2.0 of this role.
