Ansible Tower can't reach SCM source or remote host.

Hello,

I have installed Ansible Tower on Ubuntu using Windows Subsystem for Linux.

Starting an SCM update or running a playbook against a remote host gives me the following error -

`

Can’t create signalfd: Function not implemented

Failed to make / slave: Invalid argument

`

How can I fix this?

WSL doesn’t support every function available in the linux kernel unfortunately.

There’s a bug report open for signalfd here

If I recall Tower wants a fair bit of RAM etc so you are probably better off spinning up a dedicated VM for it.

Hope this helps,

Jon

Ah. Everything works now with a dedicated VM. Thank you.
