Iterating on the installer without deploying the operator

Go through the normal basic install steps.

Install some dependencies:

$ ansible-galaxy collection install -r molecule/requirements.yml
$ pip install -r molecule/requirements.txt

To prevent the changes we're about to make from being overwritten, scale down any running instance of the operator:

$ kubectl scale deployment awx-operator-controller-manager --replicas=0

Create a playbook that invokes the installer role (the operator uses ansible-runner's role execution feature):

# run.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - installer

Create a vars file:

# vars.yml
---
ansible_operator_meta:
  name: awx
  namespace: awx
service_type: nodeport

Run the installer:

$ ansible-playbook run.yml -e @vars.yml -v

Grab the URL and admin password:

$ minikube service awx-service --url -n awx
$ minikube kubectl get secret awx-admin-password -- -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 --decode
