@cnfrancis hello, if you run it as root, does it solve the issue? I’m not a developer/user of AWX, but i hope this info could narrow the scope.

Anyway, if there’s no response from awx people (which I hope will happen), I think it’d make sense to file an issue in the [ansible/a](https://github.com/ansible/awx).

You could also try:

- [community-ee-minimal](https://github.com/ansible-community/images/pkgs/container/community-ee-minimal)
- [community-ee-base](https://github.com/ansible-community/images/pkgs/container/community-ee-base)
- or build one yourself, it’s easy with the [Getting started with EE guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/getting_started_ee/index.html) and if needed publish it to your own [local registry](https://forum.ansible.com/t/running-a-local-container-registry-for-execution-environments/206/1)
