Are you using AWX ?

Emad R

Install AWX (Ansible) on Debian 10 "Buster"

install some basic software

apt install -y ansible docker docker-compose git python3-docker ansible-tower-cli

start docker and enable autostart

systemctl enable docker
systemctl start docker

change default version of python to version 3, I wish someone explain this more

python -V
python3 -V
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 2

clone awx

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx
cd ~/awx/installer

changes parameters

nano inventory

postgres_data_dir="/var/pgdocker"
docker_compose_dir="/var/lib/awx"
project_data_dir=/var/awx_projects

install awx

ansible-playbook install.yml -i inventory

If no errors occurred here, you can enter the host name of the machine in the browser, log in with the user "admin" and the password "password" and get started.

launch awx on reboot

crontab -e
@reboot bash /root/start_awx.sh


nano /root/start_awx.sh
cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose start
chmod +x /root/start_awx.sh

stop awx

nano /root/stop_awx.sh
cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose stop
chmod +x /root/stop_awx.sh

update awx

cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose stop
# bump the version twice here --> /var/lib/awx/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose pull && docker-compose up --force-recreate -d

change image port settings

cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose stop
nano /var/lib/awx/docker-compose.yml
cd /var/lib/awx && docker-compose start

Have the developers gotten it to be stable in the past year? When I looked at it a bit over a year ago, you couldn't install it the same way twice and get a working system.

yh all works just the import/export thing is not 100% if you have 2 awx instances
