I’m trying to figure out why this is happening. The local connection is MacOS Catalina, and the remote is Alpine Linux 12. Either way I try this (locally or remote) it seems to have the same problem.

Mark, First time I heard of a command named “ash” in MacOs, should it be “bash”? from your ansible.cfg file: ```auto [defaults] executable=/usr/bin/env **ash** ``` ```auto ``` Regards, Patricio ---

Mark, I’m not sure if AWX is meant to be installed in MacOS. I have it installed in a CentOS VM running in virtualbox. Having said that, /tmp is a folder owned by root, that’s why you are getting the permissions error: lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root admin 11 Oct 8 2019 /tmp → private/tmp Regards, Patricio ---

Hi Patricio, Thanks for the response. For reference, ash is a version of dash which is a smaller shell. It is the default shell for alpine Linux. The ansible.cfg with that line in it was in a state of flux at the time, as I was abandoning trying to build on MacOS in favor of building on my alpine box, which is what I did at the end of the day. Our company is transitioning from MacOS to Linux Mint, so this is a non-issue for us. Getting the AWX server up was (thought to be) part of the transition. For our purposes, it ended up being much simpler to set up a git repository and set up a cron job that uses: ansible-pull -U We’re still going to use it for server management purposes, but that’s still in the works. – Mark
