# specify a version of AWX Operator # make sure versions : https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/releases ubuntu@dlp:~/awx-operator$ git checkout 2.19.0 Note: switching to '2.19.0'. You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch. If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example: git switch -c <new-branch-name> Or undo this operation with: git switch - Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false HEAD is now at e3c2720 Wait for instance ready in molecule test (#1901) # set any namespace you like for AWX and deploy Operator ubuntu@dlp:~/awx-operator$ export NAMESPACE=ansible-awx ubuntu@dlp:~/awx-operator$ make deploy namespace/ansible-awx created customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/awxbackups.awx.ansible.com created customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/awxmeshingresses.awx.ansible.com created customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/awxrestores.awx.ansible.com created customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/awxs.awx.ansible.com created serviceaccount/awx-operator-controller-manager created role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-awx-manager-role created role.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-leader-election-role created clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-metrics-reader created clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-proxy-role created rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-awx-manager-rolebinding created rolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-leader-election-rolebinding created clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/awx-operator-proxy-rolebinding created configmap/awx-operator-awx-manager-config created service/awx-operator-controller-manager-metrics-service created deployment.apps/awx-operator-controller-manager createdubuntu@dlp:~/awx-operator$ kubectl get pods -n $NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE awx-operator-controller-manager-767776fdb4-4h74r 2/2 Running 0 56s

[5] | Access to Ansible AWX with Web browser. If you access from Minikube installed localhost, specify the service URL confirmed above. If you set port forwarding, access to the URL [http://(Minikube installed hostname or IP address):(forwarding port)] on any computer in your local network. After successfully accessed, AWX login form is shown. It's possible to login with user [admin] and its password is the one you confirmed above. |
