Hi guys,

I’ve created my Execution Environment (EE) on a machine with internet access (online).

Now, I would like to use this EE on an offline (no internet access) AWX.

What should I do? Do I have to temporarily give internet access to AWX to add/setup the EE once?

Or there are any other approaches?

Thanks!

Ran into this as well. I had to make a custom ansible image by guessing what’s needed inside.  
Ansible-core  
Ansible-runner

Probably the start you need, not sure if something else needed that I have in my docker makefile.

It’s really annoying there’s all these extra layers of complexity instead of just a simple dockerfile

saw another suggestion to create a local private docker registry. I may need to explore further on this
