I'm trying to connect to my local docker engine running on OSX (m1 chip) in order to create a dynamic inventory.
I've created a host file with the following config
I made sure that docker_containers module is well installed.
plugin: community.docker.docker_containers
docker_host: "unix://Users/ME/.docker/run/docker-cli-api.sock"
Then I run ansible-inventory --graph -i ./hosts/hosts-docker-local.yaml.
But I'm getting the following error:
[WARNING]: * Failed to parse /Users/ME/Projects/ansible-test/hosts/hosts-docker-local.yaml with auto plugin: inventory source '/Users/ME/Projects/ansible-test/hosts/hosts-docker-local.yaml' could not be
verified by inventory plugin 'community.docker.docker_containers'
[WARNING]: * Failed to parse /Users/ME/Projects/ansible-test/hosts/hosts-docker-local.yaml with yaml plugin: Plugin configuration YAML file, not YAML inventory

I tried
ansible-doc -t inventory -l | grep docker
community.docker.docker_containers Ansible dynamic inv...
community.docker.docker_machine Docker Machine inve...
community.docker.docker_swarm Ansible dynamic inv...
but somehow if I do this
ansible localhost -i ./hosts/hosts-docker-local.yaml -m community.docker.docker_containers
It complains
localhost | FAILED! => {
"msg": "The module community.docker.docker_containers was not found in configured module paths"
}
maybe something wrong with my module path, something wierd with OSX? (I installed Ansible with brew)
The inventory file must end in docker.yaml, as pointed out by @Zeitounator.
Uses a YAML configuration file that ends with
docker.[yml|yaml].
