Ansible-container builds no docker image

Question

I am struggling with ansible-container. I have an issue similar to that found in here where it was suggested that docker is not configured correctly. Basically I have a bare bones example and no container is built. I have docker install on Ubuntu 16.04 as per instructions and the hello world and Ubuntu bash examples both work.

Could someone point me to some documentation/references that indicate the correct docker setup and/or the best way of debugging this. It occurred to me that my dns may not be configured correctly.

I simply tuse the following commands and get the resulting error:

ansible-container init
ansible-container build
ansible-container run
ERROR: for ansible-container  invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"exec: \\\"/bin/false\\\": stat /bin/false: no such file or directory\"\n"

can you share the playbook/ansible command which is failing? — Yaron Idan, Jan 14 '17 at 13:14

Your ansible/container.yml has a line with a command like

command: ['/bin/false']

but /bin/false seems not present in the image written above in the same ansible/container.yml. If you share your ansible/container.yml we can help you more.

You stated in your comment:

You also asked:

Could someone point me to some documentation/references that indicate the correct docker setup and/or the best way of debugging this.

Despite the fact that asking for external documentation is off-topic on StackOverflow, you don't even bother to read the documentation you have in front of your eyes, so how do you expect that another piece of documentation would help you?

Quoting the very same page you referenced:

Let’s look at a working example. [ ]

ansible-container init ansible.django-gulp-nginx
ansible-container build
ansible-container run

You tried to build and run an empty skeleton. Without specifying the containers (if you opened ansible/container.yml you would see only comments that you need to add the content) and without writing the actual playbook (ansible/main.yml).
