Hi,

Just out of technical curiosity I am looking into the fact I can get a execution/hop node working on AWX.  
I thought this wouldn’t be this hard.  
Just overwrite the /etc/receptor/receptor.conf with your own version and run some awx-manage commands lifted from the docker-compose guide.

Correct me if I am wrong:

To my surprise there is no receptor service running in the awx task container on K8S

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/ansible/roles/dockerfile/templates/supervisor\_task.conf.j2](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/ansible/roles/dockerfile/templates/supervisor_task.conf.j2)

But in the docker-compose dev guide there is a receptor service

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/supervisor.conf](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/supervisor.conf)

[program:awx-receptor]  
command = receptor --config /etc/receptor/receptor.conf

So why is this missing in the K8S version? Is the “official” reason that I need to rebuild the containers with receptor in it, but I can’t understand why this just isn’t implemented in the awx (k8s)version. Am I missing something because it is strange that the /etc/receptor/receptor.conf config is present.

I believe that for inter K8S communication it is not needed to have it running? But that limits the functionality it could have (for technical curiosity people).

Kind regards

Stefan

Hi,

Just found that the receptor service is in the awx-ee container. When overmounting the /etc/receptor/receptor.conf file and adding a k8s I am able to receptorctl ping my “hop node”. Still need to work some things out .

We don’t have an official method for setting this up at the moment, but it’s technically feasible. I’m really curious how this turns out, please let us know your findings 🙂

You’ll certainly have to use the management command provision\_instance to populate the db with information about your remote instance.

You may need to look into the work-signing field in receptor configs.

As promised I have incoherently written down my progress.

Hope someone can give me some pointers

nice write up. For the very last step, did you disable the control plane node instance?

The control plane node instance still needs to be active, because it still plays a roll in preparing the task to run on the remote execution node.

So keep your control node instance enabled. To force the task is ran on the execution node, create a job template and for instance group, choose the “remote” group (where your execution node is located)

also I see your comments about work-signing keys, yes you probably need them.

they are pretty easy to configure.

your control node receptor configs should have

- work-signing:  
privatekey: /etc/receptor/work\_private\_key.pem  
tokenexpiration: 1m

- work-verification:  
publickey: /etc/receptor/work\_public\_key.pem

your execution node should have

- work-verification:  
publickey: /etc/receptor/work\_public\_key.pem

to create the keys, just do openssl commands, you can see them evokes in the plays here

Hi,

I did not delete the control plane node and I see it in the Instance Groups list with the awx node as an instance.

I also added the work-signing and work-verification but I still get the same error message.

I think I am running into this:

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/commit/f850f8d3e0ebc97e3efed7d5001395bae85c997b](https://github.com/ansible/awx/commit/f850f8d3e0ebc97e3efed7d5001395bae85c997b)

**This means that when IS\_K8S=True, any Job Template associated with an Instance Group will never actually go from pending → running (because there’s no capacity - all playbooks must run through Container Groups**). For an improved ux, our intention is to introduce logic into the operator install process such that the _default_ group that’s created at install time is a _Container Group_ that’s configured to point at the K8S cluster where awx itself is deployed.

It looks like this global flag completely blocks the intention of running execution/hop/hybrid nodes on AWX since “only container groups are intended to be used”.  
editing the awx-awx-configmap and setting IS\_K8S=False

Result:

The the control node is now a hybrid node? But my job is trying to run on the execution node 😮

I still got an error (no output form job) but:

WARNING 2022/05/10 08:31:36 Received unreachable message from axw-ee  
WARNING 2022/05/10 08:31:36 Received unreachable message from axw-ee

Will try to debug coming nights.

Hi,

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/78660ad0a22798ace9210b37ba5be9429603e49d/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py#L153](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/78660ad0a22798ace9210b37ba5be9429603e49d/awx/main/tasks/jobs.py#L153)

Since I set IS\_K8S: to false

params = {  
“container\_image”: image,  
“process\_isolation”: True,  
“process\_isolation\_executable”: “podman”, # need to provide, runner enforces default via argparse  
“container\_options”: [‘–user=root’],  
}

It requires podman for process isolation. This concurs with the logs.

022-05-24 09:57:55,367 DEBUG [40bb4e64544740da86feaa7e786076b0] [awx.main.tasks.jobs](http://awx.main.tasks.jobs) ad\_hoc\_command 14398 (running) finished running, producing 0 events.  
Unable to find process isolation executable: podman

The problem is that podman is installed on my execution node. Not sure why it is saying this.

it could also be that this is on the pod? I will look into it what happens when I set DEFAULT\_CONTAINER\_RUN\_OPTIONS = [‘–process\_isolation’, False]

Hello Stefan,  
I’m stuck in a situation identical to yours,  
when I start a job in the awx control node I can see those messages on the log of the receptor node (built up with docker-compose):

DEBUG 2023/05/17 15:40:17 Client connected to control service awx-ee:lsqpVoOx

WARNING 2023/05/17 15:40:18 Received unreachable message from awx-ee

In the log of the job showed on the awx web interface I get the following message:

WARN[0000] “/” is not a shared mount, this could cause issues or missing mounts with rootless containers  
Error: mounting overlay failed “/etc/pki/ca-trust”: chown /var/lib/awx/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay-containers/53533cf575c7f9852a687b51ddfef3d9f3c0a210ef9375fc0f021573024fa261/userdata/overlay/805202068/upper: invalid argument

did you manage to solve it?  
what am I missing?

Thank you in advance,

This ended up being a major feature we released in AWX 21.7.0

please see these docs I wrote up on adding a remote execution node to the k8s control plane.

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/execution\_nodes.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/execution_nodes.md)

What steps did you take to deploying the remote node?

</div>

I found out what was the problem, in the awx control I had in Settings → job settings this couple of mounts:  
[  
“/etc/pki/ca-trust:/etc/pki/ca-trust:O”,  
“/usr/share/pki:/usr/share/pki:O”  
]  
the 😮 options was not accepted on the receptor node by podman, removing it or substituting it with an option accepted by podman I resolved the problem.  
The remote receptor node was deployed with docker-compose, following this link:  
[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/README.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/README.md)

Thank you for the docs, I’ll will follow it, it seems much more simple.

When I start a job, the cpu usage in receptor\_1 container goes up to 400% and the jobs take very long.

Can you help me how to fix this situation?

I am also sending the topology of our AWX environment.  
I would be very grateful if you can help me.
