AWX-RPM
Fat RPMs for ansible-awx project.
Tested distributions:
- Amazon linux 2017.3
- Centos 7
How to build RPM
- Grab source archive and put it in the repository root (see below how to do it)
- Change version in awx.spec
- Run your favorite rpm build process or use bundled scripts (build with docker):
./build.sh [amazonlinux-2017.03|centos-7]
How to build source archive
git clone [email protected]:ansible/awx.git
cd awx
git clone [email protected]:ansible/awx-logos.git
docker run -v `pwd`:/awx --rm -i centos:7 /bin/bash <<EOF
yum install -y epel-release && yum install -y bzip2 gcc-c++ git gettext make python-pip
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
yum install -y nodejs
cd /awx/
make sdist
EOF
Installation
Install awx rpm package
yum install ./awx-XXX.x86_64.rpm

yum install -y epel-release
yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm
yum install -y rabbitmq-server postgresql96-server
/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/postgresql96-setup initdb
systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
systemctl start rabbitmq-server
systemctl enable postgresql-9.6
systemctl start postgresql-9.6
Create postgresql database and user for awx
sudo -u postgres createuser -S awx
sudo -u postgres createdb -O awx awx

sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage migrate
Initialize application
echo "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; User.objects.create_superuser('admin', 'root@localhost', 'password')" | sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage shell
sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage create_preload_data
sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage provision_instance --hostname=$(hostname)
sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage register_queue --queuename=tower --hostnames=$(hostname)
