Could not install AWX because of some nodejs problems i don't understand

Archives AWX Project
1

Hi All,

I was pretty excited to try AWX, so i tried to install it as fast as possible on my restricted environment.

So i have a docker host with docker-py, but no rights to install all dependencies there. I created a container there based on centOS 7, installed Ansible, node, npm etc etc and executed the install.yml from the latest clone on master after modifying the inventory file to set the docker host as the target machine. I admit i tried the brute force method by googling any error and installing the required dependency, but i am now stuck at this error which i get after running with -vvvvv

Ishan,

How did you install node & npm in your container? It looks like you have
older versions. The recommended version is 6.11.3 which you can get from
here:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Also, assuming you can get past this, the next thing the installer wants to
do is build and run a set of Docker containers. I assume if you have
limited rights to your host OS, that your container isn't running in
privileged mode. Maybe you can bind mount the host Docker socket into the
container ... but you'll probably have to fight some ogres to get it to
work.

Thanks,

-Graham

Ok i resolved it. It was my ignorance that i installed the latest version of node. Switching to LTS version as specified in the docs worked. Although, now i am stuck at the part where Ansible needs to connect to dockerD, which is on remote host.
