Awx: Creating awx containers with 3.0.1 or 4.0.0 prevents initial login with default admin/password

[jean-christophe-manciot]

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

• Creating AWX containers with docker compose enabled at tag 3.0.1 or 4.0.0 prevents the initial AWX login (which appears fine) with default admin_user (admin) and admin_password (password); this means that all access is forbidden from the GUI.
• No such issue when creating awx containers with tags earlier than 3.0.1 with the same environment & config.
• No such issue when upgrading awx containers to 4.0.0 from 3.0.0

ENVIRONMENT

• AWX version: 4.0.0
• AWX install method: docker on linux
• Ansible version: 2.7.10
• Operating System: Ubuntu disco
• docker-ce: 5:18.09.5~3-0~ubuntu-bionic
• Web Browser: chrome

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Inside a python virtualenv:

. /path/to/awx/venv/bin/activate
pip2 install -I -U pip
pip2 install -I -U ansible
pip2 install -I -U docker
pip2 install -I -U docker-compose
git checkout 4.0.0
echo "use_docker_compose=true" >> installer/inventory
echo "docker_compose_dir=/path/to/awx/docker-compose" >> installer/inventory
cd installer
ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml
deactivate

EXPECTED RESULTS

We should be able to perform the first login as admin/password.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Login forbidden.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• postgresql 9.6 is external
• I have also tried with the latest commit to date: 4.0.0-274-g8383568e3

Seeing the same thing

Could not login at all with 'admin' using https://github.com/geerlingguy/awx-container/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

Troubleshooting..

docker exec -it /bin/bash execute the following commands.

bash-4.2# awx-manage changepassword admin
CommandError: user 'admin' does not exist
bash-4.2# awx-manage createsuperuser
Username (leave blank to use 'root'): admin
Email address: [email protected]
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.

Now i can login

@majerus1223 that was helpful, but do you think we can pass the admin credentials using "docker run" command.
