Hi We have compiled AWX in a non-corporate environment (no proxy) and was able to launch AWX. The command was ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml ( under awx/installer) We then copied the Virtualbox image to our corporate environment (with proxy) and we were no longer able to launch AWX. We noticed that this script tries to connect to the network to check if there are new updates etc. Is there a way to have launch this offline so that it doesn’t perform tasks that need network connects. Thanks Jae Kim ---

AWX doesn’t try to connect to the network to check for updates. Can you show me where/what is making a network connection out to the open internet (post install)? ---

Maybe we are not suppposed to use the install.yml to launch AWX. What would be the correct way launch AWX? ---

We use install.yml to launch AWX and the network error happens in the image building stage, but the image has already been built. ---

install.yml does launch the playbook, not sure about the network error because you haven’t shown it to me ---
