Our projects are getting impacted due to this blocker. Kindly provide the resolution asap. Thanks in advance!

awx-manage inventory_import will not work when only using container groups for automation, there is no workaround at this time other than to move to inventory from SCM.

trinesh17 commented 3 years ago

In our previous release, we used awx 15.0.0 and used that feature of importing the yml file to awx at a stretch. And now when we are planning to migrate to newer version(>=19.0.0) this is removed...strange!

AlanCoding commented 3 years ago

This is going to be hard. By design, the web / task containers are not expected to have either podman or ansible-playbook.

If the management command is going to work at all, maybe it will have to do so by submitting the job itself. After all, the interface that the dispatcher uses isn't too complicated. It imports RunInventoryUpdate from the tasks code, passes the job and then checks back until the subprocess finishes. Maybe we do something like that, but don't even subprocess.

Just import the task class and run it.

So, I think our options are:

I am doing it by pushing the hosts one after the other using tower_host module from awx collection

john-westcott-iv commented 3 years ago

Could we also add the awx.awx collection for a potential solution for this? If ansible-playbook is not in the container we couldn't run the play from there but it could be run from any other host able to run ansible-playbook and connect to Tower via the API.
