Hi

I’ve been working with AWX on docker, pointed at an external PSQL DB. Using 2 AWX nodes currently causes 500 errors when looking at jobs. I can see there’s a clustering option in tower and there’s a docker-compose-cluster playbook in the project but no documentation on how t implement it. Can anyone point me to something to stand it up?

Thanks!

Hi,

the following PR has some information about creating a clustered setup with local\_docker: [https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7265](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7265)

But that’s an unsupported configuration (that’s why the PR was rejected). So, in case of problems you’re on your own.

Regards

Thanks.

Bummer. It’s weird that it’s not supported since it seems to be the most straight forward deployment AND all the demo videos you find are showing the docker deployment.

Any docs on doing it via kubernetes etc?
