Hello all,

Is there a way to install ansible awx without getting the packages directly from the internet,  
say i download the whole ansible awx on my local computer then move it to the server in the closed network?

Do you mirror the docker and quay container images repos internally? If so here are the adjustments that we had to make to point to our internal images.

Following the instructions in "[https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/README.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/README.md)’, you’ll need to add the respective container images to the awx-demo.yml.

Hi Mitch,  
Your response has some good pointer, but if possible can you help us write a how-to on getting this done…I was a bit lost on the steps you have outlined, I am a newbie but wanting to learn this since I am also on a closed network.

Hi

can I have my init\_container\_image:‘{YOUR\_INTERNAL}/ansible/awx-ee’ or it needs to be a centos.

Also can you help me answer in my below thread for other questions. I believe plenty of them are answered in above thread but for others. TIA
