There is a new version of this tutorial available for CentOS 8.

How to Install Ansible AWX on CentOS 7

This tutorial exists for these OS versions

CentOS 8
CentOS 7

In the previous tutorial, I showed you how to deploy Ansible AWX via docker. In the meantime, I've found two projects that build rpm packages for AWX. So in this tutorial, I will show you how to install Ansible AWX from RPM files on CentOS 7. Ansible AWX is the OpenSource version of the Ansible Tower software.

I will be using 3 servers with CentOS 7 minimal installation and SELinux in permissive mode.

192.168.1.25 AWX Server
192.168.1.21 client1
192.168.1.22 client2

Minimum System Requirements for AWX Server

At least 4GB of memory
At least 2 cpu cores
At least 20GB of space
Running Docker, Openshift, or Kubernetes

Check the SELinux configuration.

[[email protected] ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory:         /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name:             targeted
Current mode:                   permissive
Mode from config file:          permissive
Policy MLS status:              enabled
Policy deny_unknown status:     allowed
Max kernel policy version:      28

With this line you have basically created a new root account called ansible:

ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Is this necessary to run Ansible?

By: iron_michael86

This is just a example , you can use any user with root access

FYI you may get a "502 bad gateway" error. Fix is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23948527/13-permission-denied-while-connecting-to-upstreamnginx

Thanks it was SELinux

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1

By: Josh H

Yeah it would be nice if OP included that in their blog post. I hit this problem as well.

By: Brendan

That fixed it for me. Thanks!

By: Josef

Thanks, everything is working but I had to disable httpd

systemctl stop httpd.service

systemctl disable httpd.service

By: The login does not work

I tried to login using admin and password credentials but they don't work.

By: Sampath

What is the correct username and password to login awx console...?

By: Paul

Check your sestatus; rerun AWX setup, then reboot.

By: prashant

run this command again

echo "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; User.objects.create_superuser('admin', '[email protected]', 'password')" | sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage shell

By: Randy P

I'm getting the error 502 bad gateway. the install was done on centos 7 minimal and httpd service was never installed. If I put the original nginx.conf file back, it works fine. Any ideas?

By: Allan

I got the same error, I had to reboot the system which fixed the issue.

By: Mikey

Please provide a link to "the next tutorial" which shows us how to add a playbook and run the job.

By: salder

First, nice work. Thank you for putting all of this together. Though my being a SysAdmin, and thus lazy by definition. Might I offer a few changes for consideration?

Installing the packages seperately just extends things. Install all of the packages at the same time, where it makes sense. (ie. yum -y install postgresql96-server rabbitmq-server wget memcached nginx ansible) This allows for fewer steps and inturn less chance of the fat-fingers.

Second, less steps. All of the steps where you are enabling and starting services in two commands, can be done in one step. The worse case of this being the awx services. (systemctl start --now awx-cbreceiver awx-celery-beat awx-celery-worker awx-channels-worker awx-daphne awx-web) Any errors or issues are still apparent, but again, less chance for screw-ups to happen.

Last, it is a better option to leave the default sudoers file alone. Your additions should be placed in a purposefully named file in /etc/sudoers.d. Which can then be written as a single line of commands and scrapped into the terminal for use. (ie. echo "ansible ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/ansible_user && chmod 600 /etc/sudoers.d/ansible_user)

By: Vathsa

Please do not use the following repo as indicated in the documentation for installing awx https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mrmeee/awx/repo/epel-7/mrmeee-awx-epel-7.repo .

The build on that repo has failed and when you use it you will run into multiple issues like SCM clones not working and others. Please use the following repo instaed "https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mrmeee/awx-dev/repo/epel-7/mrmeee-awx-dev-epel-7.repo".

Hi,

Can I make a environment with two nodes running Ansible managed by just one AWX? One to manage a network and other to manage another network?

How can I do that?

By: rajesh S

Can we update the awx version.

By: Dhinesh

Great Work ! My installation works perfect, I was trying to make inventory sync with AWS Credentials but I am error as " ERROR! No inventory was parsed, please check your configuration and options." My config file ansible.cfg I tried to modify the inventory parameter "#unparsed_is_failed = true". But the issue still exists . I am confused my why awx unable pick the inventory setup ?

By: Dimitri

The follow-on tutorial on how to add a playbook and run a job would be extremely useful.

By: Madhu Raghav

My UI is not opening, i see ginx is started and awx web service is started. I dnt seee any access log coming in

By: vaibhav

you can use either httpd or nginx as both runs at port 80.

By: Dimitri

My installation works, bit I have two issues:

- like a previous poster, I'm trying to make inventory sync with both Satellte (Spacewalk) and Vcenter. And like the previous poster, I also get " ERROR! No inventory was parsed, please check your configuration and options.". My config files seem correct.

- when I run a job, status remains on "Running". I have to refresh the browser to see the output of the run (whether successful, or not).

By: Hai

Thanks for tutorial!

Can you continue share create playbook and execute it with Ansible AWX

By: Ted Fernandes

Hi, Nice tutorial! I have installed it. Nice work.

But I am curious. Why did you have to disable fireawall?

What is the impact on having firewall enabled?

By: RP

where do you see firewall being disabled? It is enabled with rules to http

By: Sreekar

I have tried the steps and with some changes , I was able to successfully get the awx working. I tried the steps on amazon linux v2. Thank you for this article. I was breaking my head for the awx installation for the last 4 days.

By: edjojo

Hi After installation, I could not schedule any jobs. In fact awx-dispatcher.service is not enabled by default. Therefore you need enable and start the service

systemctl enable awx-dispatcher.service

systemctl start awx-dispatcher

By: Dmitry

Thank you!

Few days after I have installed I updated my box using yum update. Riught afetr that, my box stays stucked for hours at a page showing " AWX upgrading". The url shows "http//<IP_ADDRESSE>/migrations_notran".

sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage migrate

We change the admin user password and now cannot login from the web portal.

How do I fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

By: Bruce

I was getting error when trying to login to web portal "Invalid credentials".

Try clear browser cookies/cache or try running Chrome in Incognito mode.

Worked for me.

Same (following the guide to a T). Apparently, the AWX people switched away from celery. Not sure the importance it has on this project.

By: Stefan Iusein

Just forget about awx-celery-beat and awx-celery-worker services.

However, do enable awx-dispatcher service.

To see what awx services are enabled, issue the command: systemctl list-unit-files | grep awx

Also allow these ports in the firewall: 8050 8051 and 8052

You can access the web interface on http://yourip:8052

I tried to install AWX on CentOS 7, but at this line : " sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage migrate "

I have this error :

" File "/opt/rh/rh-python36/root/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py", line 29, in <module>

raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading psycopg2 module: %s" % e)
