Using lxc container module in ansible

0 votes

I am using ansible and trying to execute this playbook

---
- hosts: control
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Stop All Linux Containers
      lxc_container: name={{ item }} state=started
      with_items:
        - app01
        - app02
        - lb01
        - db01

the target is a localhost but it fails and this error comes up:

failed: [127.0.0.1] => (item=app01) => {"failed": true, "item": "app01",    "parsed": false}
BECOME-SUCCESS-rppgggxcewgndkgtnpptrgeglbfykput
failed=True msg='The lxc module is not importable. Check the requirements.'
The lxc module is not importable. Check the requirements

Then I tried this:

pip install lxc-python2 

But this also shows error:

lxc.c:27:30: fatal error: lxc/lxccontainer.h: No such file or directory

 #include <lxc/lxccontainer.h>

                              ^

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

This mostly happens when you've not installed lxc-dev package. In your situation it so happens that Debian Repository does not have it and you'll have to use it from third party like ubuntu.
