⁠What is Molecule?

Molecule is a tool used in software development to aid in the building, testing and deployment of software applications. It provides support for common DevOps tasks such as creating and managing virtual environments, configuring infrastructure and executing tests across multiple platforms.

Molecule is particularly useful for developers working in a containerized environment, such as with Docker containers, as it helps to automate the process of testing and deployment across multiple environments. Molecule is an open source tool developed by Red Hat and is available for use in a wide variety of development projects.

⁠Molecule Docker Images

The team publishes a Molecule Docker image to this repository for each official release of Molecule.

These images wrap the molecule executable, allowing you to run molecule subcommands by passing in their names and arguments as part of docker run.

⁠Configuration

You will likely need to further configure your container so that Molecule can access your configuration files and provider credentials. This could include mounting your configuration into the container, setting the working directory to refer to your configuration, and passing in environment variables and credentials files for the providers you intend to use. The docker run documentation lists the options you can use to customize the container environment.

You could also use these images as a base for your own images. For example, this would be helpful if you wanted to to pre-set CLI Configuration settings as part of your image.
