This is the most correct howto I have found (although it is not complete and not without errors):

[https://dataplumber.wordpress.com/2021/04/22/installing-awx-19-on-microk8s-in-aws/](https://dataplumber.wordpress.com/2021/04/22/installing-awx-19-on-microk8s-in-aws/)

Take note the the my-awx.yml file content must be:

```auto
apiVersion: [awx.ansible.com/v1beta1](http://awx.ansible.com/v1beta1)
kind: AWX
metadata:
  name: awx
spec:
  ingress_type: Ingress
  ingress_tls_secret: awx-secret-tls
  hostname: [awx.yourname.com](http://awx.yourname.com)
  extra_volumes: | 
    - name: data-vol 
      hostPath: 
        path: /home/ubuntu 
        type: Directory 
  task_extra_volume_mounts: | 
    - name: data-vol 
      mountPath: /data

```

Also, using that howto will leave you with a non-functional project base path /var/lib/awx/projects.  
In the old installation way, when using docker, it was easy to enable the project base path… now, it is not clear how to enable that.

See the docs at [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md).  
The supported method for installation in a production-like manner is  
on kubernetes via the awx-operator.

There is a docker-compose method that is used for a development environment;  
it requires building your own images, and shouldn't be used in production.

Thanks Bill.

And if we need to install awx older version lets say 14.x which supported docker-compose installation method can we still do that? Following tuat specific version documentation or it has been removed?
