Hi,

I used ansible-builder to create a custom execution environment image.  
This docker image is hosted on an on-premise Gitlab registry.

I created a “Container Registry” credential in AWX, and created a new “Execution Environment” and linked it to this credential.

When running a template that is set to use this EE, the job pod remains in the ImagePullBackOff state.  
Pod logs:

Pulling image “git.masked:4567/gregory/awx-ee:test”

Failed to pull image “git.masked:4567/gregory/awx-ee:test”: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Error response from daemon: Head [https://git.masked:4567/v2/gregory/awx-ee/manifests/test:](https://git.masked:4567/v2/gregory/awx-ee/manifests/test:) denied: access forbidden

When I try to manually login and pull the image, this works fine:

docker login -u gitlab+deploy-token-67 -p xxx [https://git.masked:4567/gregory/awx-ee](https://git.masked:4567/gregory/awx-ee)

Login Succeeded

docker pull git.masked:4567/gregory/awx-ee:test

test: Pulling from gregory/awx-ee

…

What am I missing here?

Ok, found the reason.  
This is not supported according to [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/10114](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/10114)
