docker_container and etc_hosts

[Matt Butch]

I have another playbook that sets up a docker container, and now I want to add to the hosts file. Why does this not work?

- name: Add host entry

  docker_container:

    name: "{{ item }}"

    etc_hosts: "{'server.place.com': '{{ server_ip }}'}"

  with_items:

    - "container1"

    - "container2"

TASK [awx : Add host entry] *************************************************************************************

failed: [123.123.123.123] (item= container1) => {"changed": false, "item": "container1", "msg": "Error creating container: 400 Client Error: Bad Request (\"No command specified\")"}

failed: [123.123.123.123] (item= container2) => {"changed": false, "item": "container2", "msg": "Error creating container: 400 Client Error: Bad Request (\"No command specified\")"}

If this is a bug, I'm happy to submit a report. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.
