Install and configure AWX without using Kubernetes

[f0rk-b0mb]

Problem

Folders are not present:

---

Step 2.5 - Running AWX

Step 2.5.1 - Rendering docker-compose manifest

To render the docker-compose manifest for AWX:

make docker-auth awx/projects docker-compose-sources

Step 2.5.2 - Generating UI files

By default, a source deployment of AWX comes without UI files, so we have to build them. Keep in mind that this does take several minutes, depending on your server.

docker-compose -f tools/docker-compose/_sources/docker-compose.yml run --rm awx_1 make clean-ui ui-devel

Step 2.5.3 - Running AWX

Once the UI files have been built, we can start AWX with docker-compose:

docker-compose -f tools/docker-compose/_sources/docker-compose.yml up -d

Hi @f0rk-b0mb

the log output is missing from your description, so I can only guess what the exact issue would be.

I think that you have an issue with copying the logo files from awx-logos into AWX. If that's the case, please retry with the following command instead:

cp /opt/awx/awx-logos/awx/ui/client/assets/favicon.ico \
   /opt/awx/awx-logos/awx/ui/client/assets/logo-header.svg \
   /opt/awx/awx-logos/awx/ui/client/assets/logo-login.svg \
   awx/ui/public/static/media/

This is because AWX changed the folder structure a bit in their latest releases.

Two other issues that I found while going through the guide with the latest version are the following:

• The package python3-pip is not installed, which the latest versions seem to soft-depend on. Not a breaking change, but you might want to have it installed
• In step 2.5.1, the make-step docker-auth no longer exists and is no longer required.

I'll update the guide with those changes as soon as I have time for it, but for now, this should get you up and running.

Hi @Hayajiro

Step 2.5.2. & 2.5.3 is also not possible. That YAML files are not existing. I checked every Version from 19.4.0 down to 18.0.0, but I couldn't´t find them in any version.

This folders files: tools/docker-compose/_sources/* don't exist.

@f0rk-b0mb sorry for the late reply.

This folder and it's contents are generated. In order to generate it, you need to run the command mentioned in step 2.5.1 (for newer versions of AWX with the change mentioned in my previous comment).
