I've just been reviewing our CI pipeline for building our EE, as part of a move, and I noticed that I'd put in a "temporary fix" 6 months ago, because the quay.io image for ansible-runner wasn't being updated with new releases at that time. Looking now, it still hasn't been updated, and actually has been officially discontinued. ([https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/issues/1199](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-runner/issues/1199)) Apparently the next version of ansible-builder "will" have a better way, but 6 months on, that doesn't yet exist. So what are folks doing at the moment to build EEs with an up-to-date base image? Building ansible-runner as well? ---

Can you start with the awx-ee [https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx-ee?tab=tags&tag=latest](https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx-ee?tab=tags&tag=latest) as a base? I’m not sure if it will help but here are the docs for building EEs that we have for controller: [https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution\_environments.html](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution_environments.html) -The AWX Team
