Dear All,

I’ve installed AWX on K8s and I can see a Pod called awx-0 with 4 containers in it:

- awx\_web
- awx\_task
- awx\_rabbitmq
- memcached

on which one should I install Tower-Cli? do you have a link for a step by step on how to install it?

Thank you and best regards

MoSa

Hi MoSa,

Have tried this on RHEL and the steps are as follows-

Here are the steps to configure tower-cli on redhat(AWX via docker)

1. Set host information in /etc/hosts file

[root@awxuser etc]# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

172.30.64.201 [awxuser.example.com](http://awxuser.example.com) awxuser (IP of awx server)

1. Install tower-cli:

#pip install tower-cli

1. Make below changes into ~/.tower\_cli.cfg foe the following fields

username

password

host

verify\_ssl

[Example:

username: admin

password: password

host: [http://awxuser.example.com](http://awxuser.example.com)

verify\_ssl: False]

1. Command to show the details of all user

#tower-cli user list (Show the details of all user)

Reference Link:

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/towerapi/tower\_cli.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/towerapi/tower_cli.html)

Tower cli is a local tool… install it and point it at your server. awx\_web is what runs the web services.
