Are ghcr.io/ansible/awx_devel Docker images supported?

[AlexPykavy]

Hi,

Sorry for not following the issue template. I'm trying to install AWX locally to play with it. The best solution I found is to follow the https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/docker-compose/README.md which instructs to:

• build the awx_devel Docker image via make docker-compose-build
• run the AWX via make docker-compose

I noticed that there are existing https://github.com/ansible/awx/pkgs/container/awx_devel images which are frequently updated. The questions I have are:

• Are these images supported? May we use them and skip the make docker-compose-build?
• If so, may I update the docs? If not, may we start publishing and supporting them?

yep they are supported, and we rely on the prebuilt images heavily for local development. running make docker-compose-build should only be needed if those prebuilt images don't work on your system for some reason, or have altered requirements/requirements.yml

If so, may I update the docs? If not, may we start publishing and supporting them?

I think we can highlight that building the image may be optional, and emphasize that prebuilt images are on ghcr registry

a PR making that change would be welcomed
