Using a docker connection with ansible

This contains an example of an ansible playbook that starts up a docker container using docker-machine and uses an ansible docker connection to do the machine setup.

# initialize docker-machine
docker-machine start local
eval "$(docker-machine env local)"

# run the playbook using the dynamic inventory
ansible-playbook -i docker-machine.py playbook.yml

# check docker running containers
docker ps

# connect to running instance
docker exec -it XXXXXXX bash
