I’m having some trouble understandin, do you mean after docker is shut down do you have to reinstall? You do not… right now we have a bug about setting the restart policy on the container: [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/210](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/210)

Hi,

I'm running it in my VM on laptop.  
So If I shutdown the VM and starts again, the AWX is not running per  
default.

The question is how to start it again. At this moment I use the command  
&nbsp;&nbsp;ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml  
the same as for the first installation.

Is there any other command how to run already installed instance?
