Yes, but im not entirely sure what would be causing the permission denied error. Im not as familiar with podman, and this is an automated installer directly from redhat, I am not as intimate with all the files it may be touching. I briefly looked at the playbook to get a vague idea of where to start looking ---

any help? I commented out the automation eda portion of the red hat provided AAP containerized install playbook, and was able to complete the rest of the installation just fine. AAP and automation hub, it appears as though the automation eda init container is the only task having issues. I have attempted to resolve any permissions I could think of, added the parameter to run the container in privileged mode and still get the same error. any help would be appreciated. ---

Hi @William_Ortiz , Welcome to the Ansible Forum! I think the information you provided might not be enough to help you troubleshoot the issue, but here are a few pointers: 1. Did you double check the configuration parameters in the inventory? In particular those related to the database? 2. You might be hitting a containerized AAP install bug, did you create a support case with Red Hat? This Ansible forum is a community site, best effort and volunteers only. Although it’s totally fine to share and troubleshoot AAP here, there are things that only Red Hat support can help you solve when using the product. 3. You mention that you have a few “docker containers”. ---

@William_Ortiz . I hit the very same issue. Could you solve it? ---

I managed to workaround this issue by changing the task “- name: Create the PKI directories” in collections/ansible\_collections/ansible/containerized\_installer/roles/common/tasks/tls.yml. Switched to mode: ‘0755’ instead of ‘0750’. ---

I had the same issue. Unfortunately your solution didn’t work for me. ### Test to install AAP on a WSL RHEL9 installation on Windows 10. ---

ah ok, I did it by first running the uninstall playbook (uninstall.yml will remove the ~/aap/tls/ structure and next install force extracted folder to be created with mode from subdirs in the task “Create the PKI directories”, which should be 0755). So, it could be that on your end the ~/aap/tls/extracted folder exists from a previous launch and then got perms 0750 from the task “Create the PKI directories” task. Ansible file module will not touch the permissions on parent dir when it already exists, the “Create the PKI directories” focuses only on edk2/java/openssl/pem. So you can try to do chmod 755 ~/aap/tls/extracted or running uninstall.yml and then install.yml again. ---

@Hampus_Lundqvist, thanks for your explanation, I haven’t thought about the fact, that the directories are already created. I gave it a try and it worked. ```auto $ podman ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 6b70dda1980b registry.redhat.io/rhel8/postgresql-13:latest run-postgresql 7 minutes ago Up 6 minutes postgresql 96787f477e64 registry.redhat.io/rhel8/redis-6:latest run-redis 6 minutes ago Up 6 minutes redis 7483fd5c9e76 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/ee-supported-rhel8:latest /usr/bin/receptor... 6 minutes ago Up 6 minutes receptor 2c5d0fbda05d registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/controller-rhel8:latest /usr/bin/launch_a... 5 minutes ago Up 3 minutes automation-controller-rsyslog e90d2bdd3df6 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/controller-rhel8:latest /usr/bin/launch_a... 5 minutes ago Up 3 minutes automation-controller-task 3b4cc7841f66 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/controller-rhel8:latest /usr/bin/launch_a... 5 minutes ago Up 3 minutes automation-controller-web d46ce0721ff7 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest gunicorn --bind 1... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-api 6a33eff5e5c8 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest daphne -b 127.0.0... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-daphne d352c5292792 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-ui-rhel8:latest /bin/sh -c nginx ... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-web a4777b875a1c registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest aap-eda-manage rq... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-worker-1 4f944d61f877 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest aap-eda-manage rq... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-worker-2 b40942018bbc registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest aap-eda-manage rq... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-activation-worker-1 6fa7316598a2 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest aap-eda-manage rq... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-activation-worker-2 b5801637fa19 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/eda-controller-rhel8:latest aap-eda-manage sc... 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes automation-eda-scheduler 52878206c850 registry.redhat.io/ansible-automation-platform-24/hub-rhel8:latest gunicorn --name p...
