awx_pod

This Ansible role sets up the Ansible AWX server using containers, and it uses podman for this.

For more information on how to use it, check out this blog: https://redhatnordicssa.github.io/ansible-podman-containers-2

Requirements

This role has been tested on Fedora server.

Role Variables

You can set the AWX credentials and storage paths in the defaults/main.yml file.

SECURITY NOTE: If you are using AWX for anything beyond personal development, be aware that the admin credentials are visible in the podman awx.yaml file. After you change the admin password in AWX, immediately remove the initial setup password from the awx.yaml file. If you don't, other users on the host will be able to see it, and it will be used again every time AWX restarts.

Dependencies

This role depends on the ikke_t.podman_container_systemd role.
