Support RHEL 8 podman in installer

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

SUMMARY

The build/install playbooks do not run on RHEL 8 out of the box in a way that works with podman.

[ephracis]

Would very much want this. I have a use case where we need to run AWX on a single host and having to deploy Kubernetes or OpenShift is really overkill. We want to move this from RHEL 7 to RHEL 8 but the lack of Docker means there is really now way to deploy AWX.

How would one even proceed to deploy this with Podman? As far as I can tell there is no way to make containers talk to each other unless one uses host networking or a pod, but then there will be a port conflict between awx_web and awx_tasks.

I'm working for a municipality in the Netherlands and we also want to use AWX with RHEL 8 and podman.

It would be a lot easier to implement if we got the podman_container module upstreamed. :-)

It is obviously better to fix this in awx directly but there has already been some progress in a different project. I created a pull request ikke-t/awx_pod#1 for this project to support awx 9.1.1.

I would have loved to see this but I suppose this request is redundant now that the AWX Operator is the preferred way to install AWX as of v18+

[ephracis]

That’s too bad. A lot of us are not running OpenShift.

Correct, this is now redundant.

[JuddTracy-DAS]

So does this mean that Kubernetes is going to be the only official way to install AWX going forward?

[wenottingham]

There is kubernetes, and there is the development environment based on docker-compose (not for production). More info here: https://groups.google.com/g/awx-project/c/47MjWSUQaOc/m/En0NrUiqAAAJ
