### Create a subnet for our test and build the image (debian stable-slim with openssh server and python3 -> ansible dependencies) `docker network create --subnet=172.172.0.0/16 silicone` `docker build -t silicone:base .` ### Create a container with static ip for each service to test (e.g. __etherpad__ here) `docker run --name etherpad -d --net silicone --ip 172.172.0.2 -it silicone:base` ### Copy your ssh key `docker cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub etherpad:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys` `docker exec -it etherpad chown root.root /root/.ssh/authorized_keys` ### Then you can go with ansible using 172.172.0.2 as your host inside inventory.
