Ansible AWX 24.6.1 version - Authentication Methods

kurokobo · January 14, 2025, 4:00pm

During the process of building the Docker image for AWX version 24.6.1, make sdist is executed:

ansible/awx/blob/24.6.1/tools/ansible/roles/dockerfile/templates/Dockerfile.j2#L92


      
          {% else %}
          # Use the distro provided npm to bootstrap our required version of node
          
          {% if not headless|bool %}
          RUN npm install -g n && n 16.13.1
          {% endif %}
          
          # Copy source into builder, build sdist, install it into awx venv
          COPY . /tmp/src/
          WORKDIR /tmp/src/
          RUN make sdist && /var/lib/awx/venv/awx/bin/pip install dist/awx.tar.gz
          
          {% if not headless|bool %}
          RUN DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=awx.settings.defaults SKIP_SECRET_KEY_CHECK=yes SKIP_PG_VERSION_CHECK=yes /var/lib/awx/venv/awx/bin/awx-manage collectstatic --noinput --clear
          {% endif %}
          
          {% endif %}
          
          # Final container(s)
          FROM quay.io/centos/centos:stream9

As a result, it is likely that the latest main branch of ansible-ui has been cloned, built and included as the UI.

github.com

ansible/awx/blob/24.6.1/awx/ui_next/Makefile#L9-L10


      
          UI_NEXT_GIT_REPO ?= https://github.com/ansible/ansible-ui.git
          UI_NEXT_GIT_BRANCH ?= main

Since the latest ansible-ui is based on an unreleased plaggable architecture, I believe that various authentication methods that should exist in version 24.6.1 are hidden.

The Makefile and Dockerfile are complex, so I can’t provide a simple workaround immediately, but I suspect the cause is as mentioned above.
