AWX-Operator - cannot access NodePort

Get Help
1

I tried to install AWX with the recommended installation method with the AWX-Operator.
(awx-operator version/tag 2.19.1)
I used this install guide: awx-operator/docs/installation/basic-install.md at devel · ansible/awx-operator · GitHub

This is what kubectl shows me:

Unfortunatelly port 32241 of the node is not exposed.
It is not visible with netstat and I cant access it through browser or curl.

There is a python django Exception in the logs of the awx-demo-web pod.
I cannot attach it here as it seems though.

Does someone have an idea or hints for troubleshooting this issue?

Hi, which kubernetes distributions are you using?

The logs are important to understand your situation. Please just paste here or upload to the third-party service e.g. pastebin.

Hello kurokobo, thanks for the answer.
I am using k3s to deploy the cluster.

This is the log of the awx-demo-web pod:

Thanks for updating, it seems that the database initialization is not done correctly.

I’m concerned that the operator is repeatedly restarting due to instability. Can you investigate the cause of this?

This morning I was able to get to the AWX login screen in the browser for the first time.
I did not change anything.
I could not find anything suspicious in the logs.

Maybe the VM is just too low specced with one CPU core and 4 GB of RAM for k3s and AWX.

Indeed, this could be the reason for the failure.

I have experience deploying AWX on a VM with 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM successfully, but I usually recommend running it with 4 vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM for stability.

Anyway, I’m glad to know that you’ve successfully installed everything using my guide :slight_smile: Have fun!

Thank you for the support! :+1:
