Description

Retrieves facts about a docker host.

Essentially returns the output of C(docker system info).

The module also allows to list object names for containers, images, networks and volumes. It also allows to query information on disk usage.

The output differs depending on API version of the docker daemon.

If the docker daemon cannot be contacted or does not meet the API version requirements, the module will fail.
