You can put it in the container instances (iirc) in awx. There is a setting to modify the pod spec

Hi Yen

You want me to edit running awx pod instance and add entities in “spec” section??? Can you please elaborate?

5

No. You don’t. All automation jobs run in an ee in awx 18+. So that’s where you change it

Hi Ahil,

Even i also wanted to same, as i have some github hostname i want to access, but hostname to ip mapping is required in /etc/hosts to sync project.
Do anyone has idea how i can achive this?
It seems i can do using host alias, but that don’t apply to running ee container
Please help me as i am stuck here, not able to procced further

Thanks & Regards,

Sorry I missed your message. All container spec details are under administration → instance groups —> create container group. As your container spec details there

Hi Weiye,

My doubt is i want to have a execution env containers ‘/etc/hosts’ file patched with a hostname and ip address mapping entries, as my github is outside the network and node DNS not able to resolve the name. Is there is anyway i can customize the ee container spec?
I am ready to create new execution env or i can patch the existing ee container.

Thanks & Regards,
Ankit Pandey

Look above. That’s where you set it

12

No, not able to do there, it creates new, projects are synced via EE, so that place doesn’t help me as it creates new container everytime. Please show one example how we can do…

Kindly look at this link. It tells you how to modify the spec based on customising the volume mounts. Customise the pod spec for your needs
