Hi there,

Really sorry I’m a bit of a noob and trying to get stuck into CI CD.

I’ve managed a k3s cluster and have a few bits and pieces running successfully.

But when I’ve deployed awx operator, I’m unable to access the GUI.  
I’ve exposed it using MetalLB and the connection works but I’m only greeted with ‘Unauthorized’.

Please help, much appreciated!

Mark

are you seeing the awx login in? do you see any particular metallb logs?

if you expose a nodeport on the awx spec, can you access the app successfully through that?

Hey thanks for the response but please ignore me,

I was trying to deploy on arm64 but operator isn’t built for the arch.

I hadn’t even configured storage correctly - using longhorn.  
Once sorted postgres started fine and but then the web gui and task pod wouldn’t start.

I need to be able to add taints to the deployment to deploy on my k3s server which is amd64.

Thanks
