Hi,

Does your playbook have become: true set? Check the example playbook in the README for details.

Also, have you tried running it against Ubuntu 18.04? 19.04 isn't officially supported.

Yes, it does.

I havent tried on 18:04. But, as its a permissions error, I'd be surprised if the issue is any different.

It's worth testing just to eliminate variables because I haven't ever heard of anyone else hitting this issue and I just used this role yesterday to install Docker on both an Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian Buster server and didn't run into this (or any) issues.

I personally don't use the include_role pattern but try replacing:

  - include_role:
      name: nickjj.docker
    become: true
    vars:
      docker__version: "18.09"
      docker__daemon_json: "{ \"insecure-registries\": [\"172.30.0.0/16\"] }"

With this:

  - include_role:
      name: nickjj.docker
    vars:
      ansible_become: true
      docker__version: "18.09"
      docker__daemon_json: "{ \"insecure-registries\": [\"172.30.0.0/16\"] }"

That's based on: ansible/ansible#29159 (comment)

In other words, become: true isn't being set for the role with your above set up, which is why you're getting those permission errors.

You could also follow the README in this repo and make a new playbook called docker.yml like this:

---

# docker.yml

- name: Example
  hosts: "all"
  become: true

  roles:
    - role: "nickjj.docker"
      tags: ["docker"]

Thanks

This solves the permissions issue:

  - include_role:
      name: nickjj.docker
    vars:
      ansible_become: true
      docker__version: "18.09"
      docker__daemon_json: "{ \"insecure-registries\": [\"172.30.0.0/16\"] }"
