RuntimeError: project local_path user cannot be found in /var/lib/awx/projects

Hi,

Thanks for creating ansible awx role and containers.

I am running ansible awx role on oracle virtual box. Role has been ran perfectly and i was able to access the Ansible awx. I have added the playbooks manually and create a template to perform the job.

But while running job template i am getting below error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/main/tasks.py", line 799, in run
cwd = self.build_cwd(instance, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/main/tasks.py", line 1188, in build_cwd
(job.project.local_path, root))
RuntimeError: project local_path user cannot be found in /var/lib/awx/projects

I have created the directory under awx_web container and do i have define somewhere in settings for PROJECT PATH. Link Ansible tower do we have any file w.r.t settings.

you need the same folder on the awx_task container.
you can add this to your compose file for _task and _web:

volumes:
  - /mnt/awx:/var/lib/awx/projects

This will map /mnt/awx (or replace with something else) on the host server running the container, to the /var/lib/awx/projects folder on the container.
This way you can have a shared directory for your playbooks

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am novice in dockers so i have tried manually mount the volume for running below command:

[root@ansible ~]# docker run -v /media/sf_ansible_cookbooks:/var/lib/awx/projects -i -t awx_web:1.0.0.331

Hi,

I am able to resolve the issue by syncing up both containers directory "/var/lib/awx/projects" on awx_web and awx_tasks container but sharing a directory from source server to containers giving me issues :(

[MartinTerp]

@rahulansible how do you start the containers without the folder mount?

[ghost]

@MartinTerp containers are already running. Once ansible-awx role has completed, status of containers were running or i will start them with docker container start. I have edited the docker-compose.yml file come up with awx role and tried re-running the playbook but no luck.

[shgonzalez]

Try this secuence:

• stop containers
• edit docker-compose.yml, adding volumes to _web and _task containers.
• docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml create
• docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml start
