In ansible awx by default database is running in the container, i do not want to run the db in the docker container, i want to use external db connection. I tried connecting to external db, it is connected and working. When I removed the database related in docker file i got no issues. But when i tried executing the Job Template my Application is getting crashed.
It depends on how you are deploying AWX. Here is the documentation on how to create database auth secrets when deploying using the operator
### Database Configuration
#### PostgreSQL Version
The default PostgreSQL version for the version of AWX bundled with the latest version of the awx-operator is PostgreSQL 15. You can find this default for a given version by at the default value for [supported_pg_version](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/ffba1b4712a0b03f1faedfa70e3a9ef0d443e4a6/roles/installer/vars/main.yml#L7).
We only have coverage for the default version of PostgreSQL. Newer versions of PostgreSQL will likely work, but should only be configured as an external database. If your database is managed by the awx-operator (default if you don't specify a `postgres_configuration_secret`), then you should not override the default version as this may cause issues when awx-operator tries to upgrade your postgresql pod.
#### External PostgreSQL Service
To configure AWX to use an external database, the Custom Resource needs to know about the connection details. To do this, create a k8s secret with those connection details and specify the name of the secret as `postgres_configuration_secret` at the CR spec level.
The secret should be formatted as follows:
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
show original
and you tell awx what the secrets are called in the awx spec, called awx-demo.yml in this doc
### Basic Install
After cloning this repository, you must choose the tag to run:
```sh
git clone git@github.com:ansible/awx-operator.git
cd awx-operator
git tag
git checkout tags/<tag>
# For instance:
git checkout tags/2.7.2
```
If you work from a fork and made modifications since the tag was issued, you must provide the VERSION number to deploy. Otherwise the operator will get stuck in "ImagePullBackOff" state:
```sh
export VERSION=<tag>
# For instance:
export VERSION=2.7.2
show original
