I’m trying to find some guidance on installing AWX as a fresh install, using podman and the image [here](https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx).

I’m completely new to podman. Have a previously running AWX server that uses docker but we need to move away from that. Kubernetes is massive overkill for us.

I’ve tried pulling that container, which is fine, but when I try to run it I’m getting nothing.

**$ podman run awx**  
**[wait-for-migrations] Waiting for database migrations…**  
**[wait-for-migrations] Attempt 1 of 30**  
**[wait-for-migrations] Waiting 0.5 seconds before next attempt**  
**[wait-for-migrations] Attempt 2 of 30**  
**[wait-for-migrations] Waiting 1 seconds before next attempt**

This goes on for 30 attempts then errors with:

**[wait-for-migrations] ERROR: Database migrations not applied**

Not really looking for anyone to resolve my particular issue as such, but more for some reference material that might help me to actually get this working.

As of right now we don’t currently support AWX on podman, only on Docker.  
At some point in the future we would like to change this.
