Hi Chris,

I followed the instructions too. I am on. awx 19. I am experiencing a different kind of error as outlined here:

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/9917](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/9917)

What image are yoy using? Latest one? I get the same error as I described in the issue above. very curious if you empty the local image and start again, and see if it works for you. I will give it a go again aS things may have changed since the last time I tried. Many thanks

You are using a different image. I followed the steps at [https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/creating-custom-ee-awx-phil-griffiths/](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/creating-custom-ee-awx-phil-griffiths/) exactly, using Phil’s image. I then tagged the image with my username in order to push it to Dockerhub.

Are you referring to this one?

```auto
ansible-builder build --tag quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest --context ./context --container-runtime

```

```auto
That's the only command. That I can see is using the image being built. That's not an image when he is using a tag. That's not using his image. The tag is referring to is tagging the image that we are building. The image is still using awx-ee:0.2.0. Unless you are saying that there is something else....

What do you mean different image?

```auto
ansible-builder build --tag [quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest](http://quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest) --context ./context --container-runti

```

The tag here is --tag [quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest](http://quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest) is just renaming the local image that is compiled on the local machine.

In the background it is pulling the latest version of the runner and such.

I tried using that exact line to build image  
ansible-builder build --tag [quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest](http://quay.io/philgriffiths/awx-custom-ee:latest) --context ./context --container-runtime docker

I still get this error message:

Yes I used awx-custom-ee, it worked right off the bat for me. I modified requirements.yml to include my collections, that’s it.

Ok that’s not actually using that image. That -t is a tag that you will name the image that is built from this project:  
[awx-ee/Containerfile at devel · ansible/awx-ee (github.com)](https://github.com/ansible/awx-ee/blob/devel/Containerfile)

if you use verbose you can see its pulling down those images from here. And its the latest ones. if we use a different image then we can use the buildargs parameter and replace  
these with our own.  
ARG ANSIBLE\_RUNNER\_IMAGE.

I am using AWX19 …what about you? Just trying to track the differences. Thanks!
