AWX docker install access UI from URL other than localhost?

Hey All,

I’m frustrated with myself that Io have to ask what I think should be something I can figure out, but I’ve searched and tested different options and I just can’t get it:

How do I setup AWX (using the docker install) so that the UI is accessible from a public IP or URL? I’m installing it on a server where using http://localhost is not going to work.

One way I tried to work around the localhost is by setting up a reverse proxy using Nginx. Got that mostly working: everything except the websocket traffic is getting proxied correctly, but I need the websocket traffic… but that is another post topic :slight_smile:

Is there a method of installing the docker container so that I can access from the servers public IP?

Thanks!

The installation default will open port 80 on the machine where you are running docker. Whatever the IP address is of your machine that’s running docker is the ip address that you could put into your browswer (or add a DNS entry for). So instead of putting localhost, just put the IP of the machine that’s running docker and it should show up.
