I can’t seem to troubleshoot why my private registry under harbor.k3s.home/awx/awx-ee-homelab:latest is throwing this error: 49s Warning Failed pod/automation-job-326-jmqsg Failed to pull image “harbor.k3s.home/awx/awx-ee-homelab:latest”: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to pull and unpack image “harbor.k3s.home/awx/awx-ee-homelab:latest”: failed to resolve reference “harbor.k3s.home/awx/awx-ee-homelab:latest”: failed to do request: Head “[https://harbor.k3s.home/v2/awx/awx-ee-homelab/manifests/latest](https://harbor.k3s.home/v2/awx/awx-ee-homelab/manifests/latest)”: dial tcp: lookup harbor.k3s.home: no such host I’ve exec’d into awx-task and awx-web and I can ping harbor.k3s.home no problem, so I’m at a loss. Why isn’t harbor.k3s.home resolving properly in my job\_template? $ kubectl exec awx-86c65f449f-xnd6w -c awx-task -it – /bin/bash bash-4.4$ ping -c 3 harbor.k3s.home PING harbor.k3s.home (192.168.0.245) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from k3s-lb.home (192.168.0.245): icmp\_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.401 ms 64 bytes from k3s-lb.home (192.168.0.245): icmp\_seq=2 ttl=63 time=0.487 ms 64 bytes from k3s-lb.home (192.168.0.245): icmp\_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.685 ms — harbor.k3s.home ping statistics — rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.401/0.524/0.685/0.120 m I’ve tried adding a coredns configmap to force the dns (192.168.0.1) but that didn’t work… :53 { errors health ready kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa { pods insecure fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa } hosts /etc/coredns/NodeHosts { ttl 60 reload 15s fallthrough } prometheus :9153 **forward . 192.168.0.1 # ← force to use specific dns ??** cache 30 loop reload loadbalance } If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Hi there, Do you get the same error if you do the ping within a playbook running in AWX (and not just a commandline shell in the container)? Let us know how it goes, Vincent
