ansible returns with "Failed to import the required Python library (Docker SDK for Python: docker (Python >= 2.7) or docker-py (Python 2.6))

Question

I am running myserver in ubuntu:

+ sudo cat /etc/os-release
NAME=\"Ubuntu\"
VERSION=\"16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus)\"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME=\"Ubu         


        

Answer 1

It appears that you don't have the docker module installed.

You will need to install it via your system package manager (apt install python-docker, for example), or using pip.

If you have multiple Python versions, make sure that you've installed the docker module into the version that Ansible is using.

Answer 2

In my case (Ubuntu 20 with installed docker) these commands was required

apt update
apt install python3 python3-pip
pip3 install docker docker-compose
