I been researching whether or not AAP 2.5 will run on a Single Node Server and have read conflicting reports…I am hoping someone has been able to get AAP 2.5 running on a Single Server System.
The name of my Server is “f-ansible1.mydomain.com” and I am trying to make it the AutomationController, AutomationGateway, Automationhub, and Automationedacontroller. Will this work?
As far as I know, 2.5 requires at least 2 nodes, as some functionality cannot be on the same host.
I tried it with this inventory, which works.
[automationgateway]
gw01
[automationcontroller]
cn01
[automationhub]
ah01
The “correct” single-node approach going forward is to switch to the containerized deployment method.
There’s checks within the RPM installer that prevent you from co-locating the automation gateway and controller on a single machine, so unfortunately to use the RPM-based installer, you’ll need minimum of two machines.
