I am deploying awx 21.1.0 using the 0.22.0 operator into a minikube cluster doing what they call a ‘basic install’ by way of creating the documented kustomize.yml .

[https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#basic-install](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#basic-install)

But then my awx pods do not have the required kerberos realm info and both winrm and kerberos transports fail.

How do I add the contents of my locally required krb5.conf file to all pods via the new operator install method?

OK, I think I have part of an answer but I am not getting the syntax right for a successful Kubernetes deployment it looks like.

Can somebody look this over and help me out in getting the yaml file syntax right, please?

Hi,

Even if you get it working, this will not help. The configuration from the containers is not related to the pod(s) launched when running a playbook. You need to modify the default container group or create a new one. For example, goto “Administration” → “Instance Groups” and edit the “default” group.  
Change spec to something like this (maybe you need to change the name of the configMap in volumes section):

apiVersion: v1  
kind: Pod  
metadata:  
namespace: awxop  
spec:  
serviceAccountName: default  
automountServiceAccountToken: false  
containers:

- image: ‘[quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:latest](http://quay.io/ansible/awx-ee:latest)’  
name: worker  
args:
- ansible-runner
- worker
- ‘–private-data-dir=/runner’  
resources:  
requests:  
cpu: 250m  
memory: 100Mi  
volumeMounts:
- name: krb5-conf  
mountPath: /etc/krb5.conf  
subPath: krb5.conf  
volumes:
- name: krb5-conf  
configMap:  
name: awx-demo-extra-config
