This module manages the life cycle of a Docker container running on either on a local machine or other hosts. The following playbook shows how this module works:

---
- name: Docker Module running
  hosts: local
  tasks:
    - name: create a container
      docker_container:
          name: debianlinux
          image: debian:9
          pull: yes
          state: present
 
    - name: start a container
      docker_container:
          name: debianlinux
          state: started
          devices:
            - "/dev/sda:/dev/xvda:rwm"
         
    - name: stop a container
       docker_container:
          name: debianlinux
          state: stopped
