Not officially afaik, you could find the way (if you’re really good) but, why? ---

in k8s environment, copying the Ansible project code to web-task pod ( Location, /var/lib/awx/projects ) is cumbersome. Is there a handy way to share the ansible local directory with web-task pod ? ---

The right way is having the Ansible code in a git repository and then make AWX pulling it, it’s painless. Although technically doable, I wouldn’t spend time investigating how to make the code available to the container (eg. through mounting a volume that contains the code) ---

Using git repository is working perfectly. But those do not have an option for git due to network issues, it will help them. Could you help me the location of the awx-web pod yaml file. Let me have a try. ---

Look at the awx-operator settings in this regard [https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/user-guide/advanced-configuration/persisting-projects-directory.html](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/user-guide/advanced-configuration/persisting-projects-directory.html) ---
