New install using https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-ansible-awx-on-ubuntu-linux/.

When creating new project as Manual, I get the error:

There are no available playbook directories in /var/lib/awx/projects. Either that directory is empty, or all of the contents are already assigned to other projects. Create a new directory there and make sure the playbook files can be read by the “awx” system user, or have AWX directly retrieve your playbooks from source control using the Source Control Type option above.

There is no problem using Git for a new project.

Hello @digitlman,
Welcome and congratulations on your first post!

Regarding your question, we would recommend using persistent projects. We have some documentation that you might find helpful. You can view that here: 15. Projects — Ansible AWX community documentation

You might also find some more resources here: https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s/blob/main/tips/manual-project.md

Please let us know if you are able to resolve the issue with the information above. Thank you for your time!
