About

My Ansible AWX playground.

Usage (libvirt/ubuntu-20.04)

Install the Ubuntu 20.04 Vagrant Box.

Review/Modify the awx.yml playbook.

Bring up the awx vagrant environment (here it takes about 20m to be ready, but YMMV):

time vagrant up --provider=libvirt --no-destroy-on-error --no-tty

Access AWX at the returned endpoint. For example:

http://192.168.121.42:30080

Use the admin/admin credentials.

Select one of the Templates and click their Launch (rocket icon) button to excute a playbook.

Follow the next section to manually configure AWX in a similar way as the awx.yml playbook.

Manual Configure AWX

Follow the next inner sections to manually configure AWX and execute a playbook.
