Check for buggy version of Ansible that Ubuntu 20.04 provides 2020-12-26 20:13:49 -06:00

Discussed in #669 (Github Issue).

23daec748c Require Ansible v2.7 or newer (because of items2dict and dict2items)
Interestingly, no one has reported this failure before #662 (Github
Issue).

It doesn't make sense to keep saying that we support such old Ansible
versions, when we're not even testing on anything close to those.

Time is also passing and such versions are getting more and more
ancient. It's time we bumped our requirements to something that is more
likely to work.

1234cc48c5 Point to newer Ansible container image
Using the older one likely leads to issues like #517.

9202b2b8d9 Ensure systemd services are running when doing --tags=start
Fixes #129 (Github Issue).

Unfortunately, we rely on `service_facts`, which is only available
in Ansible >= 2.5.

There's little reason to stick to an old version such as Ansible 2.4:
- some time has passed since we've raised version requirements - it's
time to move into the future (a little bit)
- we've recently (in 82b4640072) improved the way one can run
Ansible in a Docker container

From now on, Ansible >= 2.5 is required.

82b4640072 Use a more suitable Docker image for running Ansible
Inspired by #128 (Github Issue), we've created a new Docker image
to replace https://hub.docker.com/r/qmxme/ansible

Adding dnspython or dig to `qmxme/ansible` doesn't seem like a good
idea (that might be accepted by them), given that it's specific to our
use case. That's why we'll be maintaining our own image from now on.

5135c0cc0a Add Ansible guide and Ansible version checks
After having multiple people report issues with retrieving
SSL certificates, we've finally discovered the culprit to be
Ansible 2.5.1 (default and latest version on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).

As silly as it is, certain distributions ("LTS" even) are 13 bugfix
versions of Ansible behind.

From now on, we try to auto-detect buggy Ansible versions and tell the
user. We also provide some tips for how to upgrade Ansible or
run it from inside a Docker container.

My testing shows that Ansible 2.4.0 and 2.4.6 are OK.
All other intermediate 2.4.x versions haven't been tested, but we
trust they're OK too.

From the 2.5.x releases, only 2.5.0 and 2.5.1 seem to be affected.
Ansible 2.5.2 corrects the problem with `include_tasks` + `with_items`.
