As you probably read we did opensource ansible tower<\/p>\n

https:\/\/github.com\/ansible\/awx<\/a> . This was a big and necessary step to follow the red hat way of being truly opensource. Thanks to Jeff Geerling we also have a role https:\/\/galaxy.ansible.com\/geerlingguy\/awx\/<\/a>\u00a0to install awx.<\/p>\n

To install AWX on RHEL (remember this is not supported by GSS) you need to do the following:<\/p>\n

Step1: register your host with Red Hat<\/p>\n

[root@host141 ~]# subscription-manager register<\/pre>\n
Step2: now add the needed channels<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# subscription manager attach --pool YOURPOOLFORRHEL<\/pre>\n
Step3: enable the repos extras and optional<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# subscription-manager repos --disable=*\r\n[root@host141 ~]# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms<\/pre>\n
Step4: to be able to run the build correctly you will have to do the following<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# mkdir -p \/etc\/docker<\/pre>\n
Step 5: add the following file. Without that you build will fail complaining that you cannot connect to github<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# cat << EOF > \/etc\/docker\/daemon.json \r\n{\r\n    \"dns\": [\"8.8.8.8\"]\r\n}\r\nEOF<\/pre>\n
Step 6: install ansible<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# yum install -y ansible<\/pre>\n
Step 7: install all the necessary roles<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# cat << EOF > roles-for-awx.sh\r\nansible-galaxy install  geerlingguy.git\r\nansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.ansible\r\nansible-galaxy install  geerlingguy.docker\r\nansible-galaxy install  geerlingguy.pip\r\nansible-galaxy install  geerlingguy.nodejs\r\nansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.repo-epel\r\nansible-galaxy install geerlingguy.awx\r\nEOF\r\n\r\nchmod +x roles-for-awx.sh<\/pre>\n
Step 8: install the roles:<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# .\/roles-for-awx.sh<\/pre>\n
Step 9: create the inventory add your host<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# mkdir inventory\r\n[root@host141 ~]# touch hosts inventory\/\r\n[root@host141 ~]# echo '192.168.1.55' > inventory\/hosts<\/pre>\n
Step 10: create the play to install awx<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# echo << EOF > install.yml\r\n---\r\n- hosts: all\r\n  become: yes\r\n\r\n  vars:\r\n    nodejs_version: \"6.x\"\r\n    pip_install_packages:\r\n      - name: docker-py\r\n\r\n  pre_tasks:\r\n    - name: Update apt cache.\r\n      apt: update_cache=yes cache_valid_time=600\r\n      when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'\r\n      changed_when: false\r\n\r\n  roles:\r\n    - name: geerlingguy.repo-epel\r\n      when: ansible_os_family == \"RedHat\"\r\n    - geerlingguy.git\r\n    - geerlingguy.ansible\r\n    - geerlingguy.docker\r\n    - geerlingguy.pip\r\n    - geerlingguy.nodejs\r\n    - geerlingguy.awx\r\nEOF<\/pre>\n
Step 11: run the playbook<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml -vv<\/pre>\n
Step 12: If the install is successful you will see the following<\/p>\n
[root@host141 ~]# docker ps\r\nCONTAINER ID        IMAGE                COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                NAMES\r\n5bd777f861d5        awx_task:1.0.0.337   \"\/tini -- \/bin\/sh ...\"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    8052\/tcp                             awx_task\r\nb56359a39b98        awx_web:1.0.0.337    \"\/tini -- \/bin\/sh ...\"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    0.0.0.0:80->8052\/tcp                 awx_web\r\n243a135f35bc        memcached:alpine     \"docker-entrypoint...\"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    11211\/tcp                            memcached\r\n19d622b223b3        rabbitmq:3           \"docker-entrypoint...\"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    4369\/tcp, 5671-5672\/tcp, 25672\/tcp   rabbitmq\r\nf6eede4708f5        postgres:9.6         \"docker-entrypoint...\"   About an hour ago   Up About an hour    5432\/tcp                             postgres<\/pre>\n
Step 13: It will take a while until the instance comes up. You can check it like this<\/p>\n
