-### Building on OpenShift
-
-To build an openshift-ansible image using an **OpenShift** [build and image stream](https://docs.openshift.org/latest/architecture/core_concepts/builds_and_image_streams.html) the straightforward command would be:
-
- oc new-build registry.centos.org/openshift/playbook2image~https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible
-
-However: because the `Dockerfile` for this repository is not in the top level directory, and because we can't change the build context to the `images/installer` path as it would cause the build to fail, the `oc new-app` command above will create a build configuration using the *source to image* strategy, which is the default approach of the [playbook2image](https://github.com/openshift/playbook2image) base image. This does build an image successfully, but unfortunately the resulting image will be missing some customizations that are handled by the [Dockerfile](images/installer/Dockerfile) in this repo.
-
-At the time of this writing there is no straightforward option to [set the dockerfilePath](https://docs.openshift.org/latest/dev_guide/builds/build_strategies.html#dockerfile-path) of a `docker` build strategy with `oc new-build`. The alternatives to achieve this are:
-
-- Use the simple `oc new-build` command above to generate the BuildConfig and ImageStream objects, and then manually edit the generated build configuration to change its strategy to `dockerStrategy` and set `dockerfilePath` to `images/installer/Dockerfile`.
-
-- Download and pass the `Dockerfile` to `oc new-build` with the `-D` option:
-
-```
-curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/master/images/installer/Dockerfile |
- oc new-build -D - \
- --docker-image=registry.centos.org/openshift/playbook2image \
- https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible
-```
-
-Once a build is started, the progress of the build can be monitored with:
-
- oc logs -f bc/openshift-ansible
-
-Once built, the image will be visible in the Image Stream created by `oc new-app`:
-
- oc describe imagestream openshift-ansible

# Containerized openshift-ansible to run playbooks
-The [Dockerfile](images/installer/Dockerfile) in this repository uses the [playbook2image](https://github.com/openshift/playbook2image) source-to-image base image to containerize `openshift-ansible`. The resulting image can run any of the provided playbooks. See [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for image build instructions.
+The [Dockerfile](images/installer/Dockerfile) in this repository can be used to build a containerized `openshift-ansible`. The resulting image can run any of the provided playbooks. See [BUILD.md](BUILD.md) for image build instructions.
The image is designed to **run as a non-root user**. The container's UID is mapped to the username `default` at runtime. Therefore, the container's environment reflects that user's settings, and the configuration should match that. For example `$HOME` is `/opt/app-root/src`, so ssh keys are expected to be under `/opt/app-root/src/.ssh`. If you ran a container as `root` you would have to adjust the container's configuration accordingly, e.g. by placing ssh keys under `/root/.ssh` instead. Nevertheless, the expectation is that containers will be run as non-root; for example, this container image can be run inside OpenShift under the default `restricted` [security context constraint](https://docs.openshift.org/latest/architecture/additional_concepts/authorization.html#security-context-constraints).

## Usage
-The `playbook2image` base image provides several options to control the behaviour of the containers. For more details on these options see the [playbook2image](https://github.com/openshift/playbook2image) documentation.
-
At the very least, when running a container you must specify:
1. An **inventory**. This can be a location inside the container (possibly mounted as a volume) with a path referenced via the `INVENTORY_FILE` environment variable. Alternatively you can serve the inventory file from a web server and use the `INVENTORY_URL` environment variable to fetch it, or `DYNAMIC_SCRIPT_URL` to download a script that provides a dynamic inventory.

+* The playbook to run. This is set using the PLAYBOOK_FILE environment variable.
+
+Here is an example of how to run a containerized ose-ansible with
+the openshift_facts playbook, which collects and displays facts about your
+OpenShift environment. The inventory and ssh keys are mounted as volumes
+(the latter requires setting the uid in the container and SELinux label
+in the key file via :Z so they can be accessed) and the PLAYBOOK_FILE
+environment variable is set to point to the playbook within the image:
+
+docker run -tu `id -u` \
+ -v $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa:/opt/app-root/src/.ssh/id_rsa:Z,ro \
+ -v /etc/ansible/hosts:/tmp/inventory:Z,ro \
+ -e INVENTORY_FILE=/tmp/inventory \
+ -e OPTS="-v" \
+ -e PLAYBOOK_FILE=playbooks/byo/openshift_facts.yml \
+ openshift3/ose-ansible
