🐳 Container wrangler · ⚙️ Automation enthusiast · 📦 Maintainer of far too many Docker images

I spend my days making machines do the boring stuff so humans don't have to — mostly with Docker, Ansible, Terraform and a healthy dose of CI/CD pipelines.

My flagship project: docker-ansible — Ansible inside Docker containers, so you can run your playbooks anywhere Docker runs. ⭐ 470+ stars and counting!

• 🐧 Multiple base images: Alpine, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux & Debian
• 📌 Loads of Ansible versions: 2.21, 2.20, 2.19, 2.18 and more (older versions still supported)
• 🔄 Regularly rebuilt and published to Docker Hub

Friends of the family:

• 🤖 docker-ansible-github-action — run Ansible in your GitHub Actions workflows
• 🧪 docker-ansible-test — testing Ansible the containerised way
• 🛠️ docker-devtools-aliases — shell aliases that swap locally-installed tools for Docker containers (docs here)

• 🐳 Keeping the docker-ansible image matrix fresh across distros and Ansible releases
• 🧰 Docker DevTools — never install a dev tool locally again
• 🏗️ Terraform modules, pipelines and cloud infrastructure
• 🎭 Backstage plugins and templates (including GitLab integrations)
• 🦊 GitLab automation, CI/CD and the odd bash API script
