Hey all! I deployed my AWX in a home lab in Docker, following the github instructions. This all worked fine, I picked up the docker-compose and edited it to run it via Portainer and behind nginx reverse proxy for automated management of lets Encrypt certificates. Today I took a stab at updating AWX, from 23.0.1 to 23.3.0. Been reading the instructions and went ahead as follows. ran `git pull` ran `git checkout 23.3.0` Pulled the secrets from `tools/docker-compose/_sources/secrets` and placed them in the `tools/docker-compose/inventory` ran `make docker-compose-build` Checked docker images and renamed the new devel image: `docker image tag ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:HEAD ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:23.3.0` Edited the docker-compose to load the new image: `image: "ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:23.3.0"` AWX starts and seems to work fine, however when I go to top right and choose `about`, it shows the neat cow with 23.0.1: `Ansible AWX 23.0.1.dev0+gc9190ebd8f.d20230829` The new image is really new, new hashes and different size. Perhaps I did not correctly check out git or something? I’m not sure how to check that and correct it if thats the issue? Any help please? Thanks In Advance! 😃 ps. forgot to mention, I tried to (re)make the UI: `docker exec tools_awx make clean-ui ui-devel` Didn’t help either. I think its just building the same old image … ---

When u run “make docker-compose” did u supply a COMPOSE\_TAG? AFAIR compose file is regenerated every time u run it so I think your manual edit of the docker-compose file may have been overridden Try to set COMPOSE\_TAG to your desire image tag ---

Thank you. I will try your suggestion. Just to clarify I didn’t edit the compose file in the git branch but copy pasted it to Portainer where I edited it. ---

> [@TheRealHaoLiu](#): > > COMPOSE\_TAG No it doesn’t help. I think this basically does what I did manually, just set the tag. Without it, docker images will show tag HEAD. This just sets the tag to 23.3.0. ---

I just realize ur talking about the development environment. The development environment container is just a container with the python dependencies installed the source code is mounted in. If I remember correctly the version come from setup\_scm\_tool and essentially I think it either pull from a VERSION file or the git tag Can u run ‘make VERSION’ to check the version. I see that u did a pull and checkout so yah this seems strange 😅 ---

```auto # make VERSION awx: 23.0.1.dev0+gc9190ebd8f.d20231028 ``` So how I think updating is supposed to work in my case is to just make a new image and build the interface. Then I edit my docker-compose to point to the new image and it should start. To reiterate the setup: Followed the steps to clone, build and start awx, all from the terminal in the cloned dir. I stopped it, copied the docker-compose file contents to Portainer and then edited it. Here it is redacted: ```auto # https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/README.md --- version: '2.1' services: # Primary AWX Development Container awx: user: "0" image: "ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel:23.0.0" container_name: tools_awx hostname: awx command: launch_awx.sh restart: always environment: OS: " Operating System: Arch Linux" SDB_HOST: 0.0.0.0 SDB_PORT: 7899 AWX_GROUP_QUEUES: tower MAIN_NODE_TYPE: "${MAIN_NODE_TYPE:-hybrid}" RECEPTORCTL_SOCKET: /var/run/awx-receptor/receptor.sock CONTROL_PLANE_NODE_COUNT: 1 EXECUTION_NODE_COUNT: 0 AWX_LOGGING_MODE: stdout DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD: whatever UWSGI_MOUNT_PATH: / RUN_MIGRATIONS: 1 NETWORK_ACCESS: internal VIRTUAL_HOST: awx.internal.domain.bla VIRTUAL_PORT: 8013 VIRTUAL_PROTO: http LETSENCRYPT_HOST: awx.internal.domain.bla LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL: nginx-proxy-acme@domain.bla links: - postgres - redis working_dir: "/awx_devel" volumes: - "/data/docker-data/awx:/awx_devel" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/supervisor.conf:/etc/supervisord.conf" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/database.py:/etc/tower/conf.d/database.py" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/websocket_secret.py:/etc/tower/conf.d/websocket_secret.py" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/local_settings.py:/etc/tower/conf.d/local_settings.py" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/nginx.locations.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.locations.conf" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/SECRET_KEY:/etc/tower/SECRET_KEY" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/receptor/receptor-awx-1.conf:/etc/receptor/receptor.conf" - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/receptor/receptor-awx-1.conf.lock:/etc/receptor/receptor.conf.lock" # - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/docker-compose/_sources/certs:/etc/receptor/certs" # TODO: optionally generate certs - "/sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup" - "~/.kube/config:/var/lib/awx/.kube/config" - "redis_socket_1:/var/run/redis/:rw" privileged: true tty: true #ports: #- "7899-7999:7899-7999" # sdb-listen #- "6899:6899" #- "8080:8080" # unused but mapped for debugging #- "8888:8888" # jupyter notebook #- "8013:8013" # http #- "8043:8043" # https #- "2222:2222" # receptor foo node #- "3000:3001" # used by the UI dev env expose: - "8013" redis: image: redis:latest container_name: tools_redis restart: always volumes: - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/redis/redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf:Z" - "redis_socket_1:/var/run/redis/:rw" entrypoint: ["redis-server"] command: ["/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf"] # A useful container that simply passes through log messages to the console # helpful for testing awx/tower logging # logstash: # build: # context: ./docker-compose # dockerfile: Dockerfile-logstash postgres: image: postgres:12 container_name: tools_postgres # additional logging settings for postgres can be found https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html command: postgres -c log_destination=stderr -c log_min_messages=info -c log_min_duration_statement=1000 -c max_connections=1024 restart: always environment: POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD: trust POSTGRES_USER: awx POSTGRES_DB: awx POSTGRES_PASSWORD: funny volumes: - "/data/docker-data/awx/tools/awx_db:/var/lib/postgresql/data" volumes: redis_socket_1: name: tools_redis_socket_1 external: true networks: default: name: nginx-proxy_default external: true ``` This has been running for a while. Last week I did the steps in my OP and ran into that issue. Today, I tried something else. I made a new git clone for 23.3.1, adjusted the inventory file with my current passwords, built that image, started it and built the UI. Stopped it and pointed my portainer docker-compose to the new image. A make VERSION shows the 23.3.1 version. This is what happens: [https://pastebin.com/K7u3KKy0](https://pastebin.com/K7u3KKy0) So, yeh somewhere Im doing something wrong but I don’t know where 😉 ---

can u do a `git describe --tags` on the one that’s showing the wrong version? version is essentially based on tag and I wonder if your original clone pulls down the tag? ---

Appreciate your help! > [@TheRealHaoLiu](#): > > can u do a `git describe --tags` on the one that’s showing the wrong version? > > version is essentially based on tag and I wonder if your original clone pulls down the tag? Not at the moment, I am migrating my home server and making some changes. Will take a couple of days. > [@TheRealHaoLiu](#): > > ```auto > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'thycotic' > > ``` > > From your awx logs it seems like the awx\_devel image doesn’t have all the needed python modules Yeh, I saw that too, of course. But I don’t think that should be happening right? Is it a problem with 23.3.1 that its not building correctly? ---

Heya! Yes, this is still an issue, but as I mentioned earlier I am in the process of migrating my server. Containers are down at the moment. I’ve run into an issue with the migration (I think a bug in ESXi 😮 ) which prevents me from finishing up. > [@fosterseth](#): > > this was recently fixed here I believe [Fix DevOps Secrets Vault credential plugin by andrii-zakurenyi · Pull Request #14340 · ansible/awx · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/14340) > > should be in next release Sounds awesome! It had me pulling my hair haha! As soon as things are back up I’ll give it another shot! Thanks for chiming in, both of you. ---

I just want to say thanks to the kind folk who tried to help. I got frustrated and deleted everything. When I finally got a new image to build it wouldn’t load. I did a new git clone, checked out 23.4.0 and it built fine. I have my ansible code in gitlab so all I need to do is recreate the inventory, add credentials and secrets. I wasted so much time on this its crazy. I am now recreating the docker-compose for Portainer. Hopefully I will have less trouble next time I want to update. ---
