RPM specs for ansible-awx project

AWX-RPM

Fat RPMs for ansible-awx project.

Tested distributions:

• Amazon linux 2017.3
• Centos 7

How to build RPM

• Grab source archive and put it in the repository root (see below how to do it)
• Change version in awx.spec
• Run your favorite rpm build process or use bundled scripts (build with docker): ./build.sh [amazonlinux-2017.03|centos-7]

How to build source archive

git clone [email protected]:ansible/awx.git
cd awx
git clone [email protected]:ansible/awx-logos.git

docker run -v `pwd`:/awx --rm -i centos:7 /bin/bash <<EOF
yum install -y epel-release && yum install -y bzip2 gcc-c++ git gettext make python-pip
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
yum install -y nodejs
cd /awx/
make sdist
EOF

Installation

Install awx rpm package

yum install ./awx-XXX.x86_64.rpm

Install rabbitmq and postgresql96 server (example for centos7)

yum install -y epel-release
yum install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos96-9.6-3.noarch.rpm
yum install -y rabbitmq-server postgresql96-server
/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/postgresql96-setup initdb
systemctl enable rabbitmq-server
systemctl start rabbitmq-server
systemctl enable postgresql-9.6
systemctl start postgresql-9.6

Create postgresql database and user for awx

sudo -u postgres createuser -S awx
sudo -u postgres createdb -O awx awx

Run sql migrations (takes a few minutes)

sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage migrate

Initialize application

echo "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; User.objects.create_superuser('admin', 'root@localhost', 'password')" | sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage shell
sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage create_preload_data
sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage provision_instance --hostname=$(hostname)
sudo -u awx /opt/awx/bin/awx-manage register_queue --queuename=tower --hostnames=$(hostname)

Configure nginx, use this example from awx repository

https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/image_build/files/nginx.conf

systemctl start awx-cbreceiver
systemctl start awx-celery-beat
systemctl start awx-celery-worker
systemctl start awx-channels-worker
systemctl start awx-daphne
systemctl start awx-web

systemctl enable awx-cbreceiver
