Many thanks for this I never heard of this project, glad finally we have UI for either SS or Ansible

The AWX project is upstream project for Red Hat's Ansible Tower.

Also has lots of Ansible playbooks available at https://galaxy.ansible.com/ to do all the things.

Be careful with AWX. I would not use it in production. There are still breaking database changes between versions. There is a migration tool but still. Last time I used it, there were breaking changes from week to week. I've found Jenkins to be more flexible anyway.
-
basic nginx config works and you can just run certbot for SSL
server { listen 80; server_name test.domain.com; location / { proxy_pass http://192.168.1.x; proxy_buffering off; } }

I attempted to login with admin/password and it is telling me it's the wrong username/password. The documentation says:
awx-manage changepassword admin
-bash: awx-manage : command not found
I am in
/opt/awx
hm.
-
@wirestyle22
awx-manage
might be in /opt/awx/bin, /opt/awx/sbin, or something like that. Here I thought the default username/password wouldn't get broken in their code updates. Like @stacksofplates said, AWX looks nice, but the devs are breaking it so often that it isn't something I'd consider production ready. I tried running through this a 3rd time, did everything the same, and it didn't work last night -
Yeah I am just testing at home
-
@travisdh1 seems like I should be able to change the admin password via cli, but it's not recognizing the command. @stacksofplates any ideas?

It's really sad that they are treating AWX this way. Basically means that Ansible/Tower is out of the question because they can't keep a stable code base.
-
@travisdh1 I have to imagine that there is a way for me to change a user's password via cli that doesn't use
awx-manage
, if not then what is the reason that I am unable to use it? Not familiar with it enough to know though. Haven't found anything online yet. -

awx-manage
yet myself. Did you do asudo find / -name "awx-manage"
? -
@travisdh1 went to http://192.168.1.x/api/v1/config/ to try the basic auth prompt. Same issue.

I won't have access to mine till I get home tonight. Poke me latter and I'll see if I can find awx-manage.

I found it. It's in
/opt/awx/tools/docker-compose
command still errors.

Seems to be the standard operating mode for AWX. It's broke, they nay or may not get the broken bits fixed in the next release.
