Hi

I was looking at AWX earlier in the year but had to temporarily drop it to work on something else and am now able to pick it up again.

I have my old AWX install (9.3.0) still working ok.

I decided to do a fresh install with a newer version as there have been a number of releases since and the old installation and want a fresh install.

I’ve followed the same installation method I used for my old version and have attempted to install several newer versions: 11.2.0, 13.0.0 & 15.0.0 but run into the same error that occurs on the TASK [image_build : Build base awx image] stage.

The error is below:

As already stated, I’m following the same installation method that has worked for several installs using older AWX versions and below are the dependency packages that I have installed:

## Install epel repo and then install jq

yum install -y epel-release -y && yum install -y jq

## Install docker-ce related packages and dependencies for the rest of the install process

yum -y install git gcc gcc-c++ nodejs gettext device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2 bzip2 python-pip python3-wheel sshpass

## Enable docker-ce repo, install docker engine, enable and start the service

yum-config-manager --add-repo=https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo

yum -y install docker-ce

systemctl enable --now docker.service

## Install AWX dependencies for python3 Docker-Compose installation

yum install -y python-docker

yum install -y python3-pip

yum install -y python3-devel

pip3 install --upgrade pip

pip3 install ansible

## Install Docker python module via pip - required for AWX installation

pip install docker-py

## Install Docker-Compose

pip3 install docker-compose

The PostgreSQL DB is local to the AWX install.

The only differences in the environments are miner and are below:

The old AWX 9.3.0 environment:

- Centos 7.7.1908

- Docker-Compose = 1.25.4, build unknown

- Pip3 = 20.0.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

- Python = 3.6.8 (default, Aug 7 2019, 17:28:10) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)]

- Ansible = 2.9.6

The new environment used for AWX 11.2.0, 13.0.0, 15.0.0

- Centos 7.9.2009

- Docker-Compose = 1.27.4, build unknown

- Pip3 = 20.3.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

- Python = Python 3.6.8 (default, Nov 16 2020, 16:55:22) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44)]

- Ansible = 2.10.4

The configuration of both CentOS operating systems is the same apart from the version difference, yum if auto updating the OS version on the new server as part of the scripted deployment process.

AWX states it is supported on CentOS 7.7 and later so I would except 7.9 to be ok.

I’ve tried disabling the local CentOS firewall with no success but if it was a firewall issue, I’d expect there to be issues with the other package downloads.

Looking at the error message it seems to be a problem within the Docker environment but as it removes all the containers upon failing there are no logs for this.

I also tried installing version 9.3.0 on new host but ran into a different issue where a package download URL has changed and the 9.3.0 build still references the old one so it fails on this - hence I cannot test with the old AWX version.

https://centos7.iuscommunity.org as referenced by the installer is now https://ius.io/.

This issue does not occur on the newer versions of AWX I am trying to install.

I’ve spent some time searching for an answer to this issue but have been unable to find one, so any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Note that this happens when changing the AWX inventory file to create a local image:

#dockerhub_base=ansible

If I leave the inventory file as default AWX installs ok.

If I change just this in the inventory file - comment out the line so it builds a local image - then it fails with the previous error.

Is this possibly to do with the issue in this thread where the repo name was changed from PowerTools to powertools?

https://serverfault.com/questions/997896/how-to-enable-powertools-repository-in-centos-8

I know this is for yum and the AWX CentOS 8 container is using dnf but the error does reference the repo as PowerTools where the above thread says that this stopped working on 09/12/2020 and know only (lower case) powertools works when referencing the repo.

Unfortunately I don't have a CentOS 8 machine at the moment to check this.

To get a Centos 8 system I installed AWX vanilla, not a local build so it uses the default image.

This successfully installs the AWX Centon 8 AWX containers.

I logged into the awx_web container and re-ran the package install commands from the error message in the initial e-mail:

dnf -y update && dnf -y install epel-release 'dnf-command(config-manager)' && dnf module -y enable 'postgresql:10' && dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools && dnf -y install ansible gcc gcc-c++ git-core glibc-langpack-en libcurl-devel libffi-devel libtool-ltdl-devel make nodejs nss openldap-devel patch @postgresql:10 postgresql-devel python3-devel python3-pip python3-psycopg2 python3-setuptools swig unzip xmlsec1-devel xmlsec1-openssl-devel

This successfully installed the packages with the following PowerTools warnings as referenced in the error:

Error: No matching repo to modify: PowerTools.

Checking the locale of the container it is en_US.UTF-8 so this has worked where as in the error message it looks like there was an issue with this as it states:

Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8

So maybe setting the language is the issue and not PowerTools?

So running the package installation commands in the container looks to have worked where as via the AWX install script it hasn't?

I'm really not sure why this isn't working.

For info below is the output of the the packages upgraded and installed in the container by the package install command run:

I've just found the issue linked below on the AWX git site when I was looking to post a new issue:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/8775

This has the same 2 error's that I have in my AWX installation output:

Error: No matching repo to modify: PowerTools

Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8

I've asked if there is an ETA on this.

Hi Owain

Greetings for the day

I had awx version 15 installed in my redhat 7.9 system which I have upgraded to awx 16.0.0
I did upgrade and I did check the awx 15 and awx 16.0.0 github repo from devel branch and I cant find any mentioning of power tools in the build image section of ansible tasks
Can you please point me to the repo you are referring to and moreover as 16.0.0 is out , do you fancy going directly there.

Regards
Abhinit Mallick

Hi Abhinit

The install file that references PowerTools is

There is a corrected version in the following git repo that will be committed to the next AWX release here:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/roles/image_build/templates/Dockerfile.j2

PowerTools has been changed to powertools on lines 27 and 108

I changed this file locally after downloading e.g. /awx-13.0.0/ installer/roles/image_buil/ templates/Dockerfile.js - replaced PowerTools with powertools - and it installed AWX successfully.

Maybe 16.0.0 was already updated before release?

I can download it and look tomorrow.

Hi Abhinit

I just downloaded the AWX 16.0.0 repo and the Dockerfile.j2 already has the correct lower case references to powertools so this should work.

I think the PowerTools repo name changed to all lower case if fairly recent so it must have been captured in the latest 16.0.0 build but olders one still reference the old name and hence this file needs to be edited for them until newer versions are released that correct this.

Best regards

Owain
