ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

When trying to launch AWX in any configuration of persistent or non-persistent storage, the directories and files within /var/lib/awx are not created.

ENVIRONMENT

• AWX version: 2.10.9
• Operator version: 0.12.0
• Kubernetes version: 1.20.6
• AWX install method: Rancher RKE

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Create a new AWX instance with the following config:

apiVersion: awx.ansible.com/v1beta1
kind: AWX
metadata:
  name: awx
spec:
  service_type: LoadBalancer
  ingress_type: none
  hostname: awx.domain.com
  task_privileged: true
  image_pull_policy: Always
  projects_persistence: true
  projects_storage_class: longhorn
  projects_storage_size: 8Gi

or:

apiVersion: awx.ansible.com/v1beta1
kind: AWX
metadata:
  name: awx
spec:
  service_type: LoadBalancer
  ingress_type: none
  hostname: awx.domain.com

EXPECTED RESULTS

Once the pod is up and running, should be able to hit the loadbalancer/ClusterIP/NodePort to access the AWX WebUI.

ACTUAL RESULTS

A 404 is returned, with the following logs:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Upon investigation, by default with the 0.12.0 release, /var/lib/awx does not exist. Using the workaround specified in #357 (comment) by forking the AWX-Operator repo and modifying the specified file, the /var/lib/awx folder exists, but the /var/lib/awx/public folder still does not exist, though other folders are created as expected:

The same error about files in /var/lib/awx/public can still be seen in the awx-web container logs.

AWX-OPERATOR LOGS

Will be provided upon request due to length.

same issue here. I fixed it. I stumbled across the following issue: awx-container

Going to the container bash and adding the symlink, fixed it (temporarily, of course):

ln -s /var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib/python3.8/site-packages/awx/ui_next/build/static /var/lib/awx/public/static

I can confirm this, having the same issue, making it impossible to use at this poing.

Adding a ln to the container doesnt help much, if the container goes down it will lose the change.

This could be fixed by this PR. ansible/awx#10583

Sometimes the database isn't ready right away and then the awx-manage collectstatic command fails because it depends on the database.

This should be resolved by the PR linked above, and will go out in the next release of AWX.
