Configuring a specific Ansible version in AWX EE Image

[Manikandan Balasubramanian]

Hi Team,

I have a requirement of installing ansible version 2.9.10 in AWX EE image. I specified this:  "pip install -I ansible==2.9.10" in my execution-environment.yaml. However when I go to the generated AWX EE image, I observe the ansible version as core 2.12.5

bash-4.4$ ansible --version
/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/paramiko/transport.py:236: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Blowfish has been deprecated
  "class": algorithms.Blowfish,
ansible [core 2.12.5.post0]
  config file = None

Can someone please let me know how I can get around this issue?

Thanks and Regards,

Mani

Hi Mani,

 I had the same issue about setting the ansible version and got around it by adding:

build_arg_defaults:
  EE_BASE_IMAGE: 'quay.io/ansible/ansible-runner:stable-2.12-devel'

to the execution-environment.yml file.

I am using the latest version of the builder and wanted version 2.12, you should try:

build_arg_defaults:
  EE_BASE_IMAGE: 'quay.io/ansible/ansible-runner:stable-2.9-devel'

Hope that helps.

Thanks. I ended up something like this, I went with a stable 2.9 release But it has 2.9.27 version. I had a requirement of having 2.9.10, so I uninstalled Ansible and reinstalled 2.9.10.

Hi Guys

Can someone guide me how did you make execution environment work with ansible 2.9? I need to create an execution env with ansible 2.9. I followed your instructions but when I start that container it exit straight away. Not sure, what I am missing here? If anyone has clear instructions how can I do it, will appreciate. Thanks

My execution-environment.yml file is below:

---
version: 1
build_arg_defaults:
        EE_BASE_IMAGE: quay.io/ansible/ansible-runner:stable-2.9-devel
        EE_BUILDER_IMAGE: quay.io/ansible/ansible-builder:latest
dependencies:
        python: requirements.yml
        system: bindep.txt
additional_build_steps:
      prepend:
        RUN yum install -y yum-utils \
            yum-config-manager --add-repo https://rpm.releases.hashicorp.com/RHEL/hashicorp.repo \
            yum -y install packer \
            yum -y install terraform \
            /usr/bin/packer --version \
            terraform --version

requirements.txt is below

ansible

bindep.txt

git [platform:rpm]

builder output:

[3/3] COMMIT awx_ee_custom_2.9.dev1
--> 77150
Successfully tagged localhost/awx_ee_custom_2.9.dev1:latest

when try to start container for test this error pops up:

CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                                                                COMMAND               CREATED         STATUS                                         PORTS       NAMES
