SUMMARY Used the official github instructions to do an inplace upgrade using docker-compose and below is a summary of what was done for the upgrade - Downloaded the latest awx artifacts from github ( version 15 ) - comment out the dockerhub\_base=ansible in the inventory file. - created a vars file in the installer dir with the key/value pairs that were used for the awx13.x installation. Content of var file below… project\_data\_dir: /opt/awx/projects docker\_compose\_dir: “/opt/awx/awxcompose” postgres\_data\_dir: “/opt/awx/pgdocker” awx\_alternate\_dns\_servers: “xxxxxxx,xxxxxxx” ssl\_certificate: /opt/awx/ssl/xxxxxxx.cer ssl\_certificate\_key: /opt/awx/ssl/xxxxxxx.key ca\_trust\_dir: /opt/awx/ssl/ca admin\_password: ‘xxxxxxxxx’ pg\_password: ‘xxxxxxxxxxx’ secret\_key: ‘xxxxxx’ - added env variable “PGDATA: /var/lib/postgresql/data/pgdata” to the xxx/installer/roles/local\_docker/templates/docker-compose.yml.j2 file as its missing there. - executed ‘ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml -e @vars.yaml’ ENVIRONMENT AWX version: 13.x AWX install method: docker on linux localhost ( dockercompose ) Ansible version: 2.9.13 Operating System: RHEL8 Web Browser: chrome STEPS TO REPRODUCE download latest awx artificates from github create a vars.yaml file populated with the variables/configs used in the existing instance of awx. execute ‘ansible-playbook -i inventory -e @vars.yaml’ login to awx console after install completes and awx\_task completes postinstall migrations EXPECTED RESULTS Configs and objects that prexisted on AWX need to visible from the console and they are wiped out. ACTUAL RESULTS All existing data is deleted and its a fresh install rather than an upgrade. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The awx\_task container is supposed to run a task to migrate data from old postgres to new instance but i dont see it in the logs. partial snippet of the awx\_task logs… Applying sites.0001\_initial… OK Applying sites.0002\_alter\_domain\_unique… OK Applying social\_django.0001\_initial… OK Applying social\_django.0002\_add\_related\_name… OK Applying social\_django.0003\_alter\_email\_max\_length… OK Applying social\_django.0004\_auto\_20160423\_0400… OK Applying social\_django.0005\_auto\_20160727\_2333… OK Applying social\_django.0006\_partial… OK Applying social\_django.0007\_code\_timestamp… OK Applying social\_django.0008\_partial\_timestamp… OK Applying sso.0001\_initial… OK Applying sso.0002\_expand\_provider\_options… OK Applying taggit.0003\_taggeditem\_add\_unique\_index… OK Successfully registered instance awx (changed: True) Creating instance group tower (changed: True) Default organization added.
