AWX on AWS rhel 7.4 trying to run towercli from playbook/template in amx (docker-compose install) but cannot figure out what host i need need to specify in tower-cli config hosts . tried several things but none work . so how do i use a awx template job to run tower cli to update the same awx instance ,
tried various types of local host and even the external dns without success
any clues ? what does one put in the host field ?
Hi Barry,
I have targeted the host that the awx container sits on. The way I did was to add the host to the inventory in awx. I used ansible_host:x.x.x.x to create an ip address to the host name. I was able to run tower-cli commands to the tower. Hope it helps.

interesting so your were able to define an ansible host for the AWX docker host that AWX sits on then assign an ip (but which ip ? (the actual ip of the host ? , ip relative to the container ? ) any examples ?
The host Ip address.
Basically the ansible host is just another host in the inventory with the variables. Above is an example.
I was able to run tower cli command against that. Not quite sure if you can see.

Ok sorted the missing info from this thread turned out to be ... connect to the docker host server hosting AWx via its private ip .. from there connect towercli locally . Thanks all for the hint
