Hi, I am new to AWX and ansible in general, but interested in automation so decided to start out.

I have deployed AWX using operator and it is up and running. Creating projects using Git as SCM work fine, and I can see these projects in the containers’ /var/lib/awx/projects path. When I try to create a manual project however, I cannot find the playbooks in the AWX GUI (even though I’ve created the project and playbook in /var/lib/awx/projects path on the host and gave the 1000 uid permissions), and if I create a file or directory under /var/lib/awx/projects on the containers, I can’t see them on the host VM’s /var/lib/awx/project. It looks like the containers’ /var/lib/awx/projects and host VM /var/lib/awx/projects are not linked.

For reference, I deployed AWX using the following files:

## vi awx-config.yaml

apiVersion: [awx.ansible.com/v1beta1](http://awx.ansible.com/v1beta1)  
kind: AWX  
metadata:  
name: awx  
namespace: awx  
spec:  
service\_type: nodeport  
nodeport\_port: 32760  
projects\_persistence: true  
projects\_existing\_claim: awx-pvc

## vi awx-pvc.yaml

apiVersion: v1  
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim  
metadata:  
name: awx-pvc  
namespace: awx  
spec:  
accessModes:  
- ReadWriteOnce  
resources:  
requests:  
storage: 10Gi

## vi awx-pv.yaml

apiVersion: v1  
kind: PersistentVolume  
metadata:  
name: awx-pv  
namespace: awx  
spec:  
volumeMode: Filesystem  
capacity:  
storage: 10Gi  
accessModes:

- ReadWriteOnce  
hostPath:  
path: /var/lib/awx/projects

## vi kustomization.yaml

apiVersion: [kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1](http://kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1)  
kind: Kustomization  
namespace: awx

resources:

- github(dot)com/ansible/awx-operator/config/default?ref=2.19.1
- awx-pv.yaml
- awx-pvc.yaml
- awx-config.yaml

images:

- name: quay(dot)io/ansible/awx-operator  
newTag: 2.19.1

Do you see any glaring issues from the configuration files?

Thanks.
