Pull and run mysql-server docker run using Ansible

Question

I'm trying to pull a mysql-server docker image and run this using my Ansible Playbook.

I have the following task in my playbook:

 - name: launch msql-server container
   docker:
    name: db
    image: mssql-server
    ports:
      - 1433: 1433

However, this is throwing the error: This module has been removed. The module documentation for Ansible-2.3 may contain hints for porting This module has been removed. The module documentation for Ansible-2.3 may contain hints for porting

I'm not sure why this task is considered pre Ansible-2.3 (I am using Ansible-2.7)

Any help on how to correctly pull the image mssql-server will be greatly appreciated.

The ansible docker module is deprecated (ref. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.6/modules/docker_module.html ) and was removed in ansible v2.4 . You should migrate to using the docker_container module (ref. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.6/modules/docker_container_module.html#docker-container-module ) ie:

- name: launch msql-server container
  docker_container:
    name: db
    image: microsoft/mssql-server
    state: started
    ports:
     - "1433:1433"
