Install prometheus using docker about ansible-prometheus HOT 5 CLOSED

I've already worked a bit on it today (didn't commit anything yet, as I'm having some trouble with the validation of the Dockerfile 😄 )

I'm familiar with the whole dind thing (I've worked with this concept before) the only thing I don't know yet is how molecule handle mountpoints with containers and if I need to setup privileges somewhere..

Regarding the structure of the tasks, I've tried to stick as close as possible to the already existing variables so for exemple : the configuration is exposed to the container in read only from the related variable (it's a bit different for the data directory but I do set a volume in the right db folder 👍 ).

ATM everything is in the same install.yml. I started with a dedicated install file but chosed to set stuff in blocks for now.. I'm still not sure about the better way to do this for now but having install.yml with common tasks, and includes in that file to either binary or docker might work as well. I'll stick with blocks for now an see how it goes, and makes changes as requested later on !

Personally I don't see any use in this, but maybe someone else has such need 😃

To do this properly it would need to have:

• parallel install_docker.yml tasks file with tasks relevant to containerized installation
• install.yml split into two sections. So it can choose installation method and delegate it to proper file (install_docker.yml or install_binary.yml) while still allowing to have common parts
• new variable to choose installation method.
• and the hardest part: molecule tests. Since we are already using containers to run each OS test instance it would need to use some sort of docker-in-docker trick.

As you can see this is quite a lot of things to do, but I will be happy to accept a PR and assist when you need some help.

That is great to hear! 🎉 You can create a PR and work on it there, this way I could do reviews as you progress :)

I will be a bit busy till Monday so my responses can be slower than usual.
