In such situations, If you are able to login to Docker Hub then you can play your playbooks for testing different modules which don't need to connect remotely to your managed nodes. That means you want to execute the module on the Ansible Controller node itself. Ansible container running on PWD (Play with Docker) Pre-requisites You must have a Docker Hub user account  You must have basic knowledge on Docker images, containers usage Good internet speed :) Steps to run Play with Docker  Step 1: Log in to your Docker Hub and launch the " Play with Docker " also known as PWD in short. Step 2: Create the Docker installed Nodes using "ADD NEW INSTANCE". Step 3: Search for the Ansible images either you can check at the command line with or search on the Docker H...
