Images for Ansible Molecule

Very basic images for use with Ansible Molecule. The intention is to have ready-to-use images including a Python interpreter that works with the most recent target Python version that Ansible itself supports and systemd support to test Ansible roles with services.

Note: The images are not intended for production use, just for testing with Molecule.
