Hello,

after installing AWX 19.0.0 I have kubernetes pod with 4 docker containers - redis, awx-task, awx-web and awx-ee.

I have awx user inside container awx-web:

bash-4.4$ cat /etc/passwd
awx:x:1000:0:,:/var/lib/awx:/bin/bash

But I can’t get root privilidge for this user, because I don’t know the password.

Can someone tell me where to find the password?

Try this from a Kubernetes worker/master or any workstation with kubectl and docker installed and that has access to your cluster:

Connect to the container as root in Kubernetes, just change the id according to yours (docker ls | grep awx)

docker exec -it -u 0 /bin/bash
