Hi

I have made some of my own “library” modules, “filter\_plugins” and “lookup\_plugins”. I would like to have them in a git repo as I do with my playbooks (AWX templates) or at least with the persistent database that is cretaed with the docker image.

Where are these supposed to be located on the AWX server?

Cheers!  
Martin

They go inside the root of your project or role

Ok, I think I got the idea. So I should also put ansible.cfg in that repo/project and point to modules here ?

Cheers!
