Hello!
Is there a way to acces the local project dir in the cubernetes enviroment?
Ive read that you shold just for testing, but i dont know why its not recommended tis way like in Docker its more common to mount a Container path to a local one or access the control via terminal, but why not with Docker Compose?
I propably would use the access teporarly, because i have a host with an old OS (stoneage OpenSuse 11.1 nagios core 3 server noone cared to update until its now way too complicated) and i need the SSH only for this host to be communitaed via ssh-rsa.
It is unclear at least to me what you are trying to do. Perhaps post a copy of your playbook, the expected -vs- actual behavior, and the results running the playbook with -vvv?
In answer to your generic question - Is there a way to access the local project dir - do you mean what delegate_to: localhost does? From Controlling where tasks run: delegation and local actions — Ansible Documentation
I really would like to know how to do the same for docker , but for the AWX enviroment.
docker container exec -it Containername /bin/bash
It would improove the speed i have to set someting up and i can see what happens in the background after each change to understand the system and for better debug.
then i could edit the local settings directly for one special case -if possible.
But if omething is a systembreaker i can restore via snapshot etc.
This is really more of a Kubernetes question than an AWX question, but that said, you should be able to do something like:
kubectl get pod -n awx # or replace awx with whatever namespace you used
and then:
kubectl exec -it -n awx <your pod name> -c awx-web -- /bin/bash
or use -c awx-task if you want to shell into a task pod instead.
I’m not entirely sure what you are trying to do, so I’m not entirely sure which deployment and container you need to use.
Generally you want to change things via the deployment options instead. Typically the only time to shell into the container directly is when debugging something.

The container name (the argument you give to -c) will be the same as your deployment name, plus “-web” or “-task” depending on the pod you’re connecting to.
So your second-to-last command should work (you need to use the full pod name), and it looks like your deployment name is awx-demo, so you just need to change the -c param to -c awx-demo-web.
So your full command would be:
kubectl exec -it -n awx awx-demo-web-69f8b797dd-t71vb -c awx-demo-web -- /bin/bash
I believe that should work.
You can see information about (and names of) the running containers in the pod with kubectl describe pod -n awx <full pod name>
It still doesnt like me.
Womewhat weiird because you can clearly see´the pod names

I missed an “l” 
I was typing it out by hand from your original screenshot.
awx-demo-web-69f8b797dd-t7vb should be awx-demo-web-69f8b797dd-t7lvb
thats it!
Thank you!!!
