Hi,


for AWX there is no RPM based installation. Use the docker instruction
at https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md#docker

Here is a cloud init script I used to throw up an AWS machine to learn the installation. You would need to double-check disk requirements, etc, but the basic steps should work.


#!/bin/bash

yum install -y http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm --enablerepo=extras

yum install -y ansible vim docker git make python-pip lvm2 --enablerepo=extras

yum update -y

pip install docker-py

pvcreate /dev/xvdf

vgcreate vg_awx /dev/xvdf

lvcreate -l 100%FREE vg_awx -n lv_awx

mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg_awx/lv_awx

mkdir /awx

mount /dev/vg_awx/lv_awx /awx

echo '/dev/vg_awx/lv_awx /awx ext4 defaults 0 2' >> /etc/fstab

systemctl start docker

systemctl enable docker

cd /awx

git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx.git

git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx-logos.git

cd awx/installer

sed -i 's/awx_official=false/awx_official=true/' inventory

ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml

docker logs -f awx_task

Looks like someone has written an rpm spec for awx. https://github.com/subuk/awx-rpm

I have created a rpm repository and an install guide:
