Running on Raspian about ansible-docker HOT 7 CLOSED

• I've managed to achieve the "Install Python packages" task on arm64 architecture after "libssl-dev" and "libffi-dev" packages installation

from ansible-docker.

I can't say that I have any experience with Raspian. Were you able to get everything working in the end?

from ansible-docker.

I don't known for raspian but i've managed to make it work on Debian Buster for arm64/aarch64 architecture with the following changes on the "defaults/main.yml" file :

docker__package_dependencies: >
  [
  {% if ansible_architecture == "aarch64" %}
  "libffi-dev",
  "libssl-dev",
  {% endif %}
  "apt-transport-https",
  "ca-certificates",
  "cron",
  "gnupg2",
  "software-properties-common"
  ]

docker__apt_repository: >
  {% if ansible_architecture == "aarch64" %}
  deb [arch=arm64]
  {% else %}
  deb [arch=amd64]
  {% endif %}
  https://download.docker.com/linux/{{ ansible_distribution | lower }}
  {{ ansible_distribution_release }} {{ docker__channel | join (' ') }}

That looks good. I'm glad you found a solution that didn't involve forking the role.

@FauthD, can you confirm if this works for you with Raspian?

I'm not 100% sold on supporting this officially with the role by adding new variables to make this easier to configure only because I never used Raspian and I'm trying to keep things focused on distros and architectures you would typically find on popular cloud hosting providers.

But with that said, I'm not opposed to including an example of this in the documentation and who knows, maybe down the line extracting out a variable for the architecture might be worth it if enough people are really using this role for that use case.

Hi,
the hint from chris968 did lead to a solution.
Additionally what I wrote at first, this must also be added to the host_vars file:

docker__package_dependencies:
  - "apt-transport-https"
  - "ca-certificates"
  - "cron"
  - "gnupg2"
  - "software-properties-common"
  - "libssl-dev"
  - "libffi-dev"

Now it did build everything successfully.
Testing how it works will have to wait, need to switch gears...

Thanks for all the help!

Thanks. So it sounds like in both cases it came down adding the 2 extra lib*-dev packages and also making sure the architecture matches for the apt sources list.

Closing this for now as a solution does exist.
