Hey @doves99,
The awx issue tracker is for bug reporting and feature enhancement requests. For questions and assistance using awx, please check out our mailing list (https://groups.google.com/d/forum/awx-project), or the IRC chatroom on Freenode (#awx-devel
).
for the love of got delete this thread because this is the only search result for this problem.
If it's the only search result for this problem (close to first result in Google), it means loads of people have issues with this that needs to be addressed.
It seems awx-manage does exist inside one of the docker containers, found inside /opt/awx/tools/docker-compose
.
@Pakbon,
The google group link above should work just fine publicly. Here it is for me in a private Chrome window:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/awx-project
awx-manage
is an executable that's available inside awx containers; it's intended to used/run within an awx container, and isn't a third-party library you can download or install (it's a tool that is part of awx itself).
~/dev/awx docker exec -it tools_awx_run_3b2204dfbb4c bash
bash-4.2$ which awx-manage
/usr/local/bin/awx-manage
bash-4.2$ awx-manage --version
4.0.0-496-g13f9799

Fantastic non-answer...
@jrosa770 what exactly isn't answered? awx-manage
is an executable that's installed by the AWX installer on the AWX nodes (Docker container, pod, what have you) - it's a Django-based diagnostic tool that lets you work with the local postgres database in a variety of ways that might affect your installation, and it's not something you can install or use outside of that context (because it doesn't make sense to use in a standalone environment outside of a container/pod, it isn't a Python package or RPM you install and use).
HI, What they mean is that "awx-manage" must be run inside a container. to do this first you need to know the container name, by executing: sudo docker ps Next you will see a list of all your running containers. example:
root@awx:/var/lib/awx# sudo docker ps

To connect to a containers shell you must execute this command: docker exec -it container_name bash
example:
root@awx:/var/lib/awx# docker exec -it awx_task bash
bash-4.4#
So now you are inside the awx_task containers bash shell. Now you can use awx-manage command. example:
#I created a add-hosts.txt file inside the container.
bash-4.4# vi add-hosts.txt
#I imported a list of hosts into awx inventory - UbuntuServers
bash-4.4# awx-manage inventory_import --inventory-name UbuntuServers --source add-hosts.txt

I love how the installation instructions say to use this command before installation to automatically enable the RedHat software collection library for PostGres, but this is a post-installation module (or at least we assume).
"Since automation controller and automation hub are using a Software Collections version of PostgreSQL in 3.8, the rh-postgresql10 scl must be enabled in order to access the database. Administrators can use the awx-manage dbshell command, which will automatically enable the PostgreSQL SCL."
I was having this issue when i tried to re-install an ansible-tower instalation , Somehow when i uninstalled old version a file was wandering there and i needed to delete it in order to pass this errror about awx-manage not found.
After i ran the setup.sh to reinstall ansible tower i was getting this error TASK [preflight : Preflight check - check Tower license type] **** fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "awx-manage check_license", "delta": "0:00:00.003382", "end": "2023-04-20 13:50:51.503618", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 127, "start": "2023-04-20 13:50:51.500236", "stderr": "/bin/sh: awx-manage: command not found", "stderr_lines": ["/bin/sh: awx-manage: command not found"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}
After digging and checking logs i noticed somehow a file was being kept there from old ansible tower instalation (/var/lib/awx/.tower_version), so i deleted that single file and it fixed my issue and i was able to re run sudo ./setup.sh
In addition i would like to say, in my case, that awx-manage is available as well in servers installations of ansible-tower not only in docker installation (as many articles found in internet assure) , after i finished my ansible tower reInstalation i can see awx-manage available in my server:
*Somehow that file from the old installation ((/var/lib/awx/.tower_version) was preventing my system to install again awx-manage from watever repo it came.

- Just closing the thread and providing 0 help leaves them with a sour taste in their mouth.
- The Google group mentioned above either does not exist or needs special permission to browse.
