I am playing with Kubernetes and Docker Swarm's these days. Usually I use Debian as my Server Operating System. It's easy to install Docker on Debian, with or without Ansible.
However, today I had to use CentOS for a change. So I made a very simple Ansible Playbook to install Docker and Docker Compose.
Note: If you use this Playbook, please make sure to update the url in Download and install Docker Compose to the current version of Docker Compose. (I really don't understand why the Docker guys don't add Docker Compose to their apt/yum repositories. They already have docker there, so they know how to do it)!

Have fun!
