I have already a working AWX instance and so far everything works great. One question I have is how can I check which python modules have been installed? For example I would like to use winrm for Windows hosts management. If the python modules are mot present, how we can add them to this setup?

Hi James,

Now is 2023 July, and probably lots of stuff have changed. I followed your steps and I have a bucket load of errors on the last step (ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml). I am a newbie in AWX. My question is do you maintain this page?

Actual script:
sudo apt install curl git python3-pip pwgen

curl -sSL ‘https://get.docker.com’ | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami) && exit
sudo apt install docker-compose nodejs npm ansible -y
docker-compose version

sudo npm install npm –global
git clone -b 17.1.0 ‘https://github.com/ansible/awx.git’
cd awx/installer
pwgen -N 1 -s 30
nano inventory

ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml

Just wanted to confirm if there is bug in this version . I have installed awx using container and version is 17.1.0.
Many of the things are performing in weird way or sometimes not even giving output or error

Docker Compose Install did not work for me because the 2nd grep failed due to “Linux” being lowercase “l”. Once I changed it to lowercase, the step passed.

The step: $ curl -s ‘https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest’ \
| grep browser_download_url | grep docker-compose-Linux-x86_64 \
| cut -d ‘”‘ -f 4 | wget -qi –

Many thanks for this great effort! The only problem I had was after stopping nginx, there was no more failure. I was then able to access the AWX website.

Hello,

This worked great, minus a few hiccups.
Important notes: If you do not have unzip, you will need to install it – ‘ apt install unzip’. Also before running the inventory playbook, make sure the directory path exists – /var/lib/awx/projects (which is the default path). For some reason, it did not create this path automatically.
Thanks for this tutorial!
