Ansible is installed and is running in a virtual environment:
(env) ansible-playbook -vvvv -i localhost playbook.yml
I'm trying to install a Python package globally, but it either installs in venv with this playbook:
---
- name: Install Docker SDK
hosts: localhost
vars:
ansible_python_interpreter : '/usr/bin/python3'
tasks:
- name: install docker sdk
pip:
name: docker
become: True
or with executable specified, copies files in global site-packages:
---
- name: Install Docker SDK
hosts: localhost
vars:
ansible_python_interpreter : '/usr/bin/python3'
tasks:
- name: install docker sdk
pip:
name: docker
executable: /usr/bin/pip3
become: True
But pip doesn't "fully" installs as confirmed by a check in a non-venv terminal:
root@ansible-test:~# pip list|grep docker
root@ansible-test:~# python3
Python 3.8.10 (default, Sep 28 2021, 16:10:42)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import docker
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'docker'
>>>
Unfortunately it's a project requirement to be able to also support running Ansible from a venv and also with target localhost.
Here's the output of the latter playbook:
