Just discovered the cause of this issue. Have been using the standard docker install (docker.io) which comes along with Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic). After installing Docker from the official site the script executed properly. Please follow these instructions if you encounter the same issue:

https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

i have the same issue !!

@yasahmed did you try my solution? What docker version are you using?

@itcrowdsource im using Docker version 17.03.1-ce-rc1, build 3476dbf in mac osx host

I have the same problem, i cannot install AWX on Centos 7.

Latest Awx docker images (pulled from git today)
docker-ce installed from docker repository (https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo)
Docker version 19.03.3, build a872fc2f86
I've tried to delete all docker-ce packages with yum (and docker-py with pip) and reinstall everything but the error is the same

same here, centos 7, docker ce 19.03.4 9013bf583a

it seems like /tmp/awxcompose was created by a previous AWX installation interfered

@nomoresecrets I can confirm that removing '/tmp/awxcompose' is indeed the right solution for this issue.

rm -rf /tmp worked better for me than the preferred solution.
