How to install custom pip library

[oriolrius]

Describe the bug
When you want to use Ansible filter: password_hash it requires the library passlib and it isn't provided in the Docker image.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use a task with the filter password_hash. For instance:

- name: "system: setting root password"
  ansible.builtin.user:
    name: root
    password: "{{ root_password | password_hash('sha512') }}"
    shell: /bin/bash

2. Run the playbook with this task will fail with the error:

TASK [system: setting root password] *******************************************
fatal: [10.2.0.209]: FAILED! =>  2025-01-21 09:08:21
  msg: Unable to encrypt nor hash, passlib must be installed. No module named 'passlib'. Unable to encrypt nor hash, passlib must be installed. No module named 'passlib'

Expected behavior
It has to work without any errors. Because if I manually install the python library: passlib it works without any error.

# inside the running container
pip3 install paslib

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Version
ansibleforms v5.0.7

Deployment
Deployed ansibleforms with :

• using ansibleforms-dockercompose

Suggested solution
Just modify the Dockerfile line 24 replacing this:

- RUN pip3 install requests six PyMySQL netapp_lib netapp_ontap solidfire-sdk-python boto3 boto botocore lxml ansible
+ RUN pip3 install requests six PyMySQL netapp_lib netapp_ontap solidfire-sdk-python boto3 boto botocore lxml ansible passlib

You must understand I can't just keep adding pip packages. I've done that in the passed.
Why not building your own docker image ?
And if your docker has access to the internet, ansibleforms comes with a maintaince workflow to run a pip install. If you mount your python path correctly (as shown in my docker project), it will be installed persistently.

hi, please concider installing using a persistent location (as explained). Or copy the project and build your own docker image. It's really not that hard. Just a oneliner, really.

#! /bin/sh

docker build -t ansibleforms .
docker tag ansibleforms ansibleguy/ansibleforms:beta
docker push ansibleguy/ansibleforms:beta
docker rmi $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q) -f

First line is the build (the one you need)
Second is the tagging it with a name
Third i upload to docker.io
Fourth, I cleanup my local images

You must run it from the root of the project.

I didn't know that I had this mechanism, it's really useful and good enough for my needs. Thanks!
