Hi All,

I am trying to get awx-operator installed on my kubernetes cluster with helm (v2.19.1). I am using an external Postgres database for my configuration. My AWX.postgres section is populated. When I install the helm chart, the awx-operator-controller-manager comes up as Running. However, the Task and Web pods show a failed state. When reviewing the logs of the controller manager, this is the first error I see

--------------------------- Ansible Task StdOut -------------------------------

I dont know why its either

  • not finding awx-manage
  • or some command being passed to awx-manage?

Any advice would be appreciated!
