Install Remote Execution Node

---

This runbook details the steps required to install an AWX remote execution node.

Assumptions

• Ansible is installed.

  Tip

  apt install -y --no-install-recommends python3-pip
  
  pip install ansible-core
  

• Remote execution node has already been setup within AWX

Workflow

1. download config for the execution node from AWX Instances -> <Instance Name> -> Install Bundle

   Or curl -u <username>:<password> https://tower.nofusscomputing.com/api/v2/instances/<instance ID>/install_bundle/ -o bundle.tar.gz

2. extract tar -xzf bundle.tar.gz

3. cd <extracted dir that matches instance name>

4. install dependencies ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

5. run the playbook ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml install_receptor.yml --extra-vars "ansible_connection=local"

6. update /etc/containers/registries.conf with the following so the docker hub images resolve without having to specify registry docker.io

   unqualified-search-registries = [ "docker.io" ]
   

7. remove extracted directory rm -rf <extracted dir that matches instance name>

8. remove archive rm bundle.tar.gz
