Announcing AWX 9.0.0

[rpetrell]

Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce a new major version of AWX, 9.0.0.

Here are some of the notable changes:

• Updated AWX images to use centos:8 as the parent image.
• Updated to ansible-runner 1.4.4 to address various bugs.
• Added oc and kubectl to the AWX images to support new container-based execution introduced in 8.0.0.
• Added some optimizations to speed up the deletion of large Inventory Groups.
• Fixed a bug that broke webhook launches for Job Templates that define a survey (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5062).
• Fixed a bug in the CLI which incorrectly parsed launch time arguments for awx job_templates launch and awx workflow_job_templates launch (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5093).
• Fixed a bug that caused inventory updates using “sourced from a project” to stop working (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4750).
• Fixed a bug that caused Slack notifications to sometimes show the wrong bot avatar (https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/5125).
• Fixed a bug that prevented the use of digits in Tower’s URL settings (https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/5081).

Hi ,

Is there any source code for AWX without docker, so that we can customize and make it use for our own purpose?

Thanks,
Gaffar

Depending on your requirements, you can customize the Docker images, installing the software you need, etc. Then, in the inventory file, change the repository, image and/or version.

Hi ,

I need to install AWX without docker or docker compose stuff. And I want the source code also. So that I can customize the code depending on our business requirement.

Please guide me.

Thanks,
Gaffar

Hi ,

I am not finding any source code for AWX in https://awx.wiki/. I want a AWX source code without docker stuff. Please any one guide me.

Thanks,
Gaffar

a 2 second google search and you find this:

https://github.com/ansible/awx

This is the source code for the awx project.

There is no source code without docker. AWX is build on docker containers, and my understanding is there are no plans to change that.

Just as a friendly warning, the dependency chain for all the python modules used by AWX is fairly large. Do be cautious, if building from source, that “pip install” steps occur inside a “vortualenv” to avoid any conflicts with the operating system based python modules.
