Hi,

I’ve been struggling to install awx on an offline server with no internet.  
I’m trying to install from local registry I’ve created but I keep getting the same error:

TASK [image\_build : Build sdist builder image] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

fatal: [localhost → localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Error building awx\_sdist\_builder - code: None, message: Get [https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/](https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/): dial tcp: lookup [registry-1.docker.io](http://registry-1.docker.io/) on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53: server misbehaving, logs: [u’Step 1/10 : FROM centos:7\n’]”}

how to make the installer build it from the local registry?  
I’ve commented out the 2 lines in the inventory file and since the local registry not secured, I’ve uncommented only this line:  
docker\_registry=localhost:5000

this is the output of docker images:  
[root@awxtest ~]# docker images
