Two ways. Use collections requirements.yml in your projects. Create a directory in your project called collections and add it in the requirements.yml file

Or create an ee that has it.

Yes it appears that community.general is not there by default. This might be an oversight but for now yep use a requirements.yml file or build your own EE  
BTW, 0.4.0 is out, but if you want the ‘latest and greatest’ use :devel (note there is no :latest docker tag) - [https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx-ee?tab=tags](https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx-ee?tab=tags)

FYI, currently the awx-ee image contains:

Running into similar issue with some of the vendor specific Ansible modules after upgrading to AWX 19.2.2. Is there any documentation or example on how to configure custom collections either using requirements.yml?  
Mean while try to add necessary collections through custom EE docker image based on what I see at [https://github.com/ansible/awx-ee/blob/devel/Containerfile](https://github.com/ansible/awx-ee/blob/devel/Containerfile)

Thanks
