Prerequisites: #

1. Install Python and Python pip:

    sudo apt-get install python python-pip
   

2. Docker (latest version) installed:

    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - 
    sudo add-apt-repository \
      "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
      $(lsb_release -cs) \
      stable"
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y
   

3. Docker python module installed:

    sudo pip install docker
   

4. Ansible (latest version) installed:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y
    sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
    sudo apt-get install ansible -y
   

Installation: #

1. Download Ansible Awx

    cd /opt
    git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx
    cd awx/installer
   

2. Edit the following values in the “inventory” file and set them with any values desired – not the default – especially the postgres_data_dir (I typically set postgres_data_dir to /opt/pgdocker/):

    host_port=80
    ...
    pg_username=awx
    pg_password=awxpass
    pg_database=awx
    pg_port=5432
    postgres_data_dir=/tmp/pgdocker
    ...
    rabbitmq_password=awxpass
    rabbitmq_erlang_cookie=cookiemonster
    ...
    admin_user=admin
    admin_password=password
    ...
    secret_key=awxsecret
   

3. Run the installer:

    ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml
   

Once the ansible-playbook command completes, the install should be complete and the web interface should be accessible on the remote server on whatever port was specified in the inventory file in Step 2.
