Hi I have installed some other modules used by  
My playbook namely, napalm and napalm-Ansible via pip in the venv of the awx\_task container as documented.

Now the naplam modules require me to set the action\_plugins path to point to the new libraries installed.

> From what I’ve read I should put an Ansible.cfg file in the root directory of my project and set it there. This raises two questions for me.

1 - can I not just put the configuration in /etc/ansible.cfg in the awx\_task container  
2 - what should the path look like? Should it be under /var/lib/awx/venv/.... or just the standard containers python ‘site-packages’ path?

Many thanks
