Hi,

Once I restart the machine does not start AWX. How do I have to restart the application? And also how can I set it to boot by default?

Regards,

You didn’t mention what version of AWX you are using but this has been the default for a while: [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/local\_docker/tasks/main.yml#L162-L163](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/local_docker/tasks/main.yml#L162-L163)

If yours isn’t running then you can just “docker start” the containers.
