Ansible deploys Docker container to wrong Vagrant VM

Question

Updated after trying out @konstantin-suvorov solution. Now it doesn't do anything.

I have created 5 Vagrant VMs, all from bento/xenial64 and have then used Ansible to deploy docker onto all of the machines.

When I then attempt to use Ansible to deploy a container onto a remote VM, it says that it has done it, but the container is running on the local machine.

My 4 machines are: control cluster01 cluster02 cluster03 cluster04

Docker is up and running on all 5

From VM control, I run

ansible-playbook -i hosts/local jenkins.yml

My inventory file is

[control]
10.100.100.100

[cluster]
10.100.100.101
10.100.100.102
10.100.100.103
10.100.100.104

[master]
10.100.100.101

This is my Jenkins playbook

---
- hosts: master
  remote_user: ubuntu
  serial: 1
  roles:
    - jenkins

and this is my jenkins role

---
- name: Container is running
  docker_container:
    name: jenkins
    image: "jenkins:{{ jenkins_version }}"
    ports: 8080:8080
    volumes:
      - "{{ jenkins_home_dir }}:/var/jenkins_home"

After running the ansible-playbook, with very very very verbose option, and adding inventory for the vagrant machines,

vagrant@control:/vagrant$ ansible-playbook -i hosts/local jenkins.yml -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory -vvvv

What am I doing wrong?

Remove ansible_connection=local from remote nodes.

If ansible_connection is local, Ansible runs all tasks on local (control) host.
