Hi,  
I need a way to mount an smb mount from the job itself (doing delegate to localhost, which is the container its elf)  
to be able to mount the share I need the container to run as privilged like you run

docker run --privileged

is it something possible to do with awx? can you run the podman container privilged?

Hello,  
We do have a setting in the UI that you may find helpful  
“DEFAULT\_CONTAINER\_RUN\_OPTIONS”: [“–network”, “slirp4netns:enable\_ipv6=true”]  
We have not tried running it with --privileged please give it a try and let us know if it works for you. We are fairly certain that this work has been released in the latest version, 22.4. If you do not find it in that version you may need to run devel until we release this change. Thank you for your time!

It is on 22.4 - but what if i want to assign it just to one execution node? or a single job template? and not all containers, is that something possible?

Hello,  
We are so sorry, but you are not able to assign to specific nodes. Since they are system settings it would apply to all of them, so at this time that is not possible.
