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

问题

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="Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS"
VERSION_ID="16.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
VERSION_CODENAME=xenial
UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial

I use ansible and when I run it I get the following error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to import the required Python library (Docker SDK for Python: docker (Python >= 2.7) or docker-py (Python 2.6)) on dd63315fad06's Python /usr/bin/python. Please read module documentation and install in the appropriate location, for example via `pip install docker` or `pip install docker-py` (Python 2.6). The error was: No module named docker"}

when I run

python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

I see:

['', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-19.2.2-py2.7.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fasteners-0.15-py2.7.egg', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/monotonic-1.5-py2.7.egg', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages']

and python versions are as follows:

+ python --version
Python 2.7.12
+ python3 --version
Python 3.5.2

Then as I see everything is fine and I am not sure why I get

"Failed to import the required Python library (Docker SDK for Python: docker (Python >= 2.7) or docker-py (Python 2.6)) on dd63315fad06's Python /usr/bin/python. Please read module documentation and install in the appropriate location, for example via `pip install docker` or `pip install docker-py` (Python 2.6). The error was: No module named docker"

in ansible?

回答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.
