It allows developers to provision and manage test containers as the target infrastructure for running Ansible playbooks and roles during development and validation cycles.\n\nThe plugin depends on the community.docker Ansible collection and the docker Python module to manage container lifecycle.

While it remains installable and may work with compatible versions of its dependencies, users should be aware that bug fixes and compatibility updates are no longer being released.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (archived repository, no commits since 2023-01-02) and receives no maintenance. While it may still function with compatible versions of molecule, docker, and community.docker, there is no support pathway for bugs or compatibility issues. For new projects, use an actively maintained Molecule driver or container testing framework instead."},"id":"molecule-docker","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/molecule-docker","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/molecule-docker.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/molecule-docker/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-09-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"molecule-docker","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Molecule aids in the development and testing of Ansible roles"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":605728,"position":5796,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
