I can’t get 6.0.0 AWX docker installation to succeed due to ‘Failed to import the required Python library’. The odd thing is that I **know** with absolute certainty that it is present: roles/local\_docker/tasks/compose.yml ` - name: install docker… pip: name: docker - name: Start the containers docker\_compose: project\_src: “{{ docker\_compose\_dir }}” restarted: “{{ awx\_compose\_config is changed or awx\_secret\_key is changed }}” register: awx\_compose\_start ` program output ` TASK [local\_docker : install docker…] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /opt/awx/installer/roles/local\_docker/tasks/compose.yml:25 ok: [localhost] =\> {“changed”: false, “cmd”: [“/usr/bin/pip2”, “install”, “docker”], “name”: [“docker”], “requirements”: null, “state”: “present”, “stderr”: “”, “stderr\_lines”: , “stdout”: “Requirement already satisfied: docker in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (4.0.2)\nRequirement already satisfied: websocket-client\>=0.32.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (0.56.0)\nRequirement already satisfied: requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (2.22.0)\nRequirement already satisfied: ipaddress\>=1.0.16; python\_version \< "3.3" in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (1.0.22)\nRequirement already satisfied: backports.ssl-match-hostname\>=3.5; python\_version \< "3.5" in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (3.7.0.1)\nRequirement already satisfied: six\>=1.4.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (1.12.0)\nRequirement already satisfied: idna\<2.9,\>=2.5 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (2.8)\nRequirement already satisfied: chardet\<3.1.0,\>=3.0.2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (3.0.4)\nRequirement already satisfied: certifi\>=2017.4.17 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (2019.6.16)\nRequirement already satisfied: urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,\<1.26,\>=1.21.1 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (1.25.3)\n”, “stdout\_lines”: [“Requirement already satisfied: docker in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (4.0.2)”, “Requirement already satisfied: websocket-client\>=0.32.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (0.56.0)”, “Requirement already satisfied: requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (2.22.0)”, “Requirement already satisfied: ipaddress\>=1.0.16; python\_version \< "3.3" in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (1.0.22)”, “Requirement already satisfied: backports.ssl-match-hostname\>=3.5; python\_version \< "3.5" in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (3.7.0.1)”, “Requirement already satisfied: six\>=1.4.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from docker) (1.12.0)”, “Requirement already satisfied: idna\<2.9,\>=2.5 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (2.8)”, “Requirement already satisfied: chardet\<3.1.0,\>=3.0.2 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (3.0.4)”, “Requirement already satisfied: certifi\>=2017.4.17 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (2019.6.16)”, “Requirement already satisfied: urllib3!=1.25.0,!=1.25.1,\<1.26,\>=1.21.1 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from requests!=2.18.0,\>=2.14.2-\>docker) (1.25.3)”], “version”: null, “virtualenv”: null} TASK [local\_docker : Start the containers] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* task path: /opt/awx/installer/roles/local\_docker/tasks/compose.yml:29 fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Failed to import the required Python library (Docker SDK for Python: docker (Python \>= 2.7) or docker-py (Python 2.6)) on eris’s Python /usr/bin/python.

In this case it’s not a problem since I would prefer to use an external database anyway but it’s also killing the web even though it’s not doing anything other than reading a few files. I think I’ve seen ‘read-only filesystem’ elsewhere. ---

Another oddity - I can get past the ‘read-only file system’ if I move everything to /tmp/awxcompose’. (That’s a little disturbing since I would lose it after a reboot.) However when run docker-compose up I get this error: `awx_web | /usr/bin/launch_awx.sh: line 8: source: /etc/tower/conf.d/environment.sh: is a directory` for both awx\_web and awx\_tasks. I’ve used ‘docker exec’ to verify that these really are directories. This happens even if I use ` web: image: ansible/awx\_web:6.0.0 container\_name: awx\_web depends\_on: - rabbitmq - memcached ports: - “80:8052” hostname: awxweb user: root restart: unless-stopped volumes: - “/tmp/awxcompose/SECRET\_KEY:/etc/tower/SECRET\_KEY” - “/tmp/awxcompose/:/etc/tower/conf.d/” environment: http\_proxy: https\_proxy: no\_proxy: ` The environments.sh and credentials.py files are definitely files, not directories, so I don’t know why they’re getting mapped to directories. It’s not due to file permissions - it happens even with permissions. Another note - my usual account still can’t run docker-compose directly, not even if I add ‘-f /tmp/awxcompose/docker-compose.yml’. The docker-compose.yml file is only seen if I run docker-compose as root. I know this isn’t a problem with my docker installation since I’m currently running three images launched by a different docker-compose file.
