hmm … admin@minikube:~$ kubectl get all -A | grep awx-demo-postgres-13 awx pod/awx-demo-postgres-13-0 1/1 Running 0 25h awx service/awx-demo-postgres-13 ClusterIP None 5432/TCP 2d15h awx statefulset.apps/awx-demo-postgres-13 1/1 25h I wonder if I should try and change the name of one of those resources. ---

Try this _kubectl -n awx exec -it -c awx-task – bash_ In the container shell _psql -h awx-demo-postgres-13.awx.svc.cluster.local -d awx -U \ -W_ Is the connection established ---

I think it is making a connection … but since I don’t know the password. I just see this … root@awx-demo-postgres-13-0:/# psql -U awx -h awx-demo-postgres-13.awx.svc.cluster.local -d awx -W Password: psql: error: connection to server at “awx-demo-postgres-13.awx.svc.cluster.local” (10.244.0.9), port 5432 failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user “awx” ---

Excellent! This is a password issue. _kubectl -n awx get secrets_ Hopefully the output will include something that refers to postgres. If the output includes a secret called awx-demo-postgres-configuration then we can extract the password. What you can do is: kubectl -n awx get secret/awx-demo-postgres-configuration -o yaml The password in the output is just the base64 encoded of the db password. ---

That did it! I have restored by backup from one AWX server and moved it to a minikube cluster running awx-operator. Thanks for all the help! now I just need to write up a step by step procedure.
