Build the image locally

First, install ansible-builder.

Then run the following command from the root of this repo:

$ ansible-builder build -v3 -t quay.io/influxdb/awx-ee --container-runtime=docker # Uses podman by default

Build the image via CI

The GitHub Actions workflow builds and publishes images automatically.

Automatic builds

• Releases: Creating a GitHub release pushes an image tagged with the release name (e.g., v1.0.0)
• Nightly: Weekly scheduled builds push a nightly tag

Manual builds

To push an image for a specific branch:

1. Go to Actions > "Build & Release" workflow
2. Click "Run workflow"
3. Select the target branch
4. Check "Push image to registry after build"
5. Click "Run workflow"

Image tags for manual builds:

Branch	Tag
main	latest
devel	devel
Branch with open PR	DEV-PR-<number>
Other branches	DEV-<commit-sha>

CI validation

Pull requests and pushes to main/devel trigger a CI build (Podman) to validate the image builds successfully, but do not push to the registry.

Configuration

To use this workflow in your own fork, configure these repository variables/secrets:

• IMAGE_REGISTRY_URL: Container registry URL (default: ghcr.io)
• IMAGE_REPOSITORY: Image repository path (default: github.repository)
• IMAGE_REGISTRY_USER: Registry username (default: github.actor)
• IMAGE_REGISTRY_TOKEN (secret): Registry auth token (default: GITHUB_TOKEN)
• ALWAYS_PUSH_GHCR: Set to true to also push to ghcr.io when using an alternate primary registry
