Is there an AWX-Supported version of win_ping?

Hi, don’t worry, you’re on the right way :smiley:

From your Ansible Builder output, the line that should be noted is here:

#22 5.236       error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory

Since the base image you’ve specified (quay.io/centos/centos:stream9-minimal) does not contain gcc, so Python has failed to build it, now it’s time to add gcc to dependencies.system :thinking:

However, if we continue on this way we’re on, I believe we will repeatedly solve one problem and then the next problem will appear. This is because stream9-minimal is really a minimal package installed, and there will probably be more things missing in the future.

So, I propose a slightly different approach. How about customizing based on a generic execution-environment.yml that is already working widely for AWX?

Specifically, how about customizing this file for use? This is the default EE image for AWX, which supports multiple connection methods, including Windows and network devices as well as Linux.

From our previous correspondence, I have read that your requirements are as follows

  • Requires collections: servicenow.itsm, community.general, community.network, ansible.windows
  • No warnings for ansible.windows
    • Ansible 2.14+
    • Python 3.9+ (it does not necessarily have to be 3.11)

As an example, based on the above file, I modified it to meet your requirements. Also added the comments why I modified so. It may include packages and modules that you don’t need, but I believe you will have less trouble.
