If you use a custom virtual environment in Ansible Tower, source it as follows.
source /var/lib/awx/venv/ansible/bin/activate
For Ansible or your custom virtual environment, export the Python path used during Ansible Tower task executions.
On the CentOS 7 Server, run as follows.
export PYTHONPATH="/var/lib/awx/venv/ansible/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/awx/lib:"
On CentOS 8,
export PYTHONPATH="/var/lib/awx/venv/ansible/lib/python3.6/site-packages:/var/lib/awx/venv/awx/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/awx/lib:"
Run the playbook using the ansible-playbook command.
You must give any necessary credentials, inventory, and variables to the ansible-playbook command because Ansible Tower’s credentials, inventory, and other parameters won’t be used.
ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml -vvv
Deactivate the Ansible virtual environment as follows.
# deactivate
