My Ansible AWX playground.
Install the Ubuntu 20.04 Vagrant Box.
Review/Modify the awx.yml playbook.
Bring up the awx vagrant environment (here it takes about 20m to be ready, but YMMV):
time vagrant up --provider=libvirt --no-destroy-on-error --no-ttyAccess AWX at the returned endpoint. For example:
Use the admin/admin credentials.
Select one of the Templates and click their Launch (rocket icon) button to excute a playbook.
Follow the next section to manually configure AWX in a similar way as the awx.yml playbook.
Follow the next inner sections to manually configure AWX and execute a playbook.
