Hi @Nikolay,  
While we don’t have specific instructions for how to accomplish this, there is some chatter on another thread about this topic that you may find helpful:

> [@Seeking Guidance for Offline AWX Installation and Execution Environment Setup](http://forum.ansible.com/t/seeking-guidance-for-offline-awx-installation-and-execution-environment-setup/3995/11):

> Note, that method is for only recommended for development or testing, not for production use. AWX can also alternatively be installed and [run in Docker](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/README.md), but this install path is only recommended for development/test-oriented deployments, and has no official published release. [awx/INSTALL.md at devel · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md) How did you configure your Execution Environment and Job Templates to achieve “being configured to use the local Docker registry”?

You may also refer to the following documentation as well:

**Postgres image:** [Database configuration - Ansible AWX Operator Documentation](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/user-guide/database-configuration.html?h=image#note-about-overriding-the-postgres-image)

**Note about overriding images needed for awx deployment -** [Deploying a specific version of awx - Ansible AWX Operator Documentation](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx-operator/en/latest/user-guide/advanced-configuration/deploying-a-specific-version-of-awx.html?h=image#deploying-a-specific-version-of-awx)

For backup and restore objects, this needs to be specified on the spec as well  
postgres\_image:  
postgres\_image\_version:  
pointing to your mirrored image repository image for postgresql
