awx_debian

The awx_debian role provisions a "standalone" AWX instance Tested on Debian 9 and 10 + Ansible >= 2.5 If you do not have Ansible >= 2.5 try out the Installer for AWX Debian

This role is useful for non-container environments that rely on Debian builds

It is a quick way to install and start working with AWX, using a localhost for Postgres, Memcached, and RabbitMQ
