Ansible Automation Platform Containerized Installer

[@mariobros237]

Question: when i do a Containerized Install, Where can I find the logs of the automation controller?

[@alexdworjan]

All of the containers are created with --log-driver journald, so all of your container logs will be going to the host's journald. You may find them in /var/log/messages, or by using something like journalctl CONTAINER_NAME=automaton-controller-web

@@alexdworjan Thank you for your response. There where right there as you said they were. Can I also ask where the playbook folder is too? I read the documentation but they werent in the /aap directory.

[@alexdworjan]

The playbooks all get pulled during a Project Sync in Automation Controller. Then they are available for any Job Templates you are attempting to create

Thank you for your answers, one final question, How do I run the awx-manage Utility in a containerized installation?

[@alexdworjan]

@@mariobros237 It's contained inside the container itself, so if you run podman exec -it automation-controller-task bash You will have a bash prompt inside your task container, and you can run awx-manage commands

Where can I find a single node inventory-growth example using PKI along with the instructions for the PKI setup? The installation docs are very vague as it relates to adding PKI certificates from an enterprise CA. My install works without errors except port 8446 shows errors connection to the controller API.

If you installed AAP2.5, you'll no longer see individual access to the component (8446 also gives me the error "Error connecting to Controller API"). That is expected behavior. Everything now runs through the Unified UI which is available via https This has your list of variables: docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform/2.5/html/containerized_installation/appendix-inventory-files-vars#ref-general-inventory-variables The TLS specifics: ca_tls_cert ca_tls_key postgresql_tls_cert postgresql_tls_key controller_tls_cert controller_tls_key hub_tls_cert hub_tls_key eda_tls_cert eda_tls_key gateway_tls_cert gateway_tls_key eda_redis_tls_cert eda_redis_tls_key gateway_redis_tls_cert gateway_redis_tls_key receptor_tls_cert receptor_tls_key
