Awx - Get a List of Available Collections in your Execution Environment

AWX - get a list of available collections in your execution environment#

Sometimes when building an execution environment image we are not explicit about versions. Later we might need to know the actual collection or Python package versions inside the image.

Check the image#

  1. Pull and run the Docker image locally, then enter the shell:

    bash docker pull harbor.example.org/awx-execution-envs/ee-example:1.0.2 docker run -ti harbor.example.org/awx-execution-envs/ee-example:1.0.2 /bin/sh

    -ti tells Docker to allocate a TTY and start an interactive session.

  2. List out the collections with:

    bash ansible-galaxy collection list

    Example output:

    ```text

    /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections#

    Collection Version

    ansible.netcommon 2.4.0 ansible.utils 2.3.1 community.general 3.6.0 junipernetworks.junos 2.5.0 ```

  3. List Python packages and versions:

    bash pip freeze

    Example output:

    text ansible-core @ file:///output/wheels/ansible_core-2.11.4.post0-py3-none-any.whl ansible-pylibssh==0.2.0 ansible-runner @ file:///output/wheels/ansible_runner-2.0.0.0a4.dev130-py3-none-any.whl asn1crypto==1.2.0 attrs==21.2.0 Babel==2.7.0 bcrypt==3.2.0
