Hi,

Is there a standard method for airgap installs?

I haven’t yet tried, but looking at awx-operator to me it looks like I’d have to:

- Download all images to my own private docker registry from [quay.io](http://quay.io) for awx
- Use sed against all awx yaml files that reference [quay.io](http://quay.io) to point to the private docker registry

Is there any other method that’s cleaner? Just aware every time I update (which with awx is frequent) that’ll get old quickly.

Thanks.

Works fine in an airgapped setup. I run it this was with EKS, you just need to push copies of the in images to a local repo.

Do you just do what I’m planning to do? Rename the references to [quay.io](http://quay.io) to your own repo and then install?

Yep. There are various references in the awx deployment you need to use to point to your own repo for

tower\_ee\_image  
tower\_image  
tower\_postgres\_image  
tower\_redis\_image
