Installs and configures AWX, the open source version of Ansible Tower.
Before this role runs, assuming you want the role to completely set up AWX using it's included installer, you need to make sure the following AWX dependencies are installed:
see requirements.yml.
See defaults/main.yml.
# choose the inventory file to use. AWX default == inventory
inventory_file: inventory
Variable to control if awx will be installed immediately:
awx_run_install_playbook: yes
By default, this role will run the installation playbook included with AWX (which builds a set of containers and runs them). You can disable the playbook run by setting this variable to no.
Under files/ inventory files can be stored, that will be copied to the AWX host. Those files can be used to set custom PostgreSQL DB connection details. Like:
secret_key: awxsecret
pg_hostname: postgresql
pg_password: awxpass
pg_database: awx
pg_port: 5432
default_admin_user: admin
default_admin_password: password
Depends on the roles defined in requirements.yml.
See meta/main.yml or 'OS Platforms' on Ansible Galaxy.
See playbook: awx.yml. The example-inventory configures an external PostgreSQL db connection:
pg_hostname=ec2-79-125-112-209.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
pg_username=user123
pg_password=password321
pg_database=awx-dev-db
pg_port=5432
After AWX is installed, you can log in with the default username admin and password password.
The default inventory files under files/ will enventually run out of sync with the AWX project inventory file.
diff one inventory file with the latest default inventory file. Or rule out by using the AWX default inventory file downloaded at playbook run time:
# choose the inventory file to use. AWX default == inventory
inventory_file: inventory
