Can you help?
Would love to help/develop that, would be yet another great tool in NS’s sleeves.
The main issue here is that I don’t have time for yet another project, sorry 
If the project takes on, please add me to the thread, would love to follow its development and at least test something if needed.
I tried to install AWX based on this HowTo: install-ansible-tower-awx-centos-7
And got this error:
TASK [local_docker : Start the containers] ***************************************************************************************************
task path: /root/awx/installer/roles/local_docker/tasks/compose.yml:45
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Failed to import the required Python library (Docker SDK for Python: docker (Python >= 2.7) or docker-py (Python 2.6)) on infra04.mydomain.lan’s Python /usr/bin/python3. Please read module documentation and install in the a ppropriate location. If the required library is installed, but Ansible is using the wrong Python interpreter, please consult the documentation on ansible_python_interpreter, for example via pip install docker or pip install docker-py (Python 2.6). The error was: No module named ’ requests’”}

That’s the interesting part of the error trace. When I tried the official guide on a Debian host, I had similar issues. Although, just retry installing the package python-requests first.
Package python-requests-2.6.0-9.el7_8.noarch already installed and latest version
Which version of python you have on the machine (python --version)? Which version is the installer using? I suspect the installer wants python 2.7 (which is also installed on a NS machine I just checked and updated) but you have 2.6.
[root@infra04 ~]# python --version
Python 2.7.5
Can you see the issue now?
OK and what can I do now on NS?
Can someone help with infos howto install ansible on Nethserver 7.9?
Tried to install it with this HowTo: How to setup Ansible to manage Windows hosts with Centos 7
But if I try to update pip the following error came up:
You can try to upgrade setup tools before
pip install --upgrade setuptools
Please try
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Can’t you use python3?
python3 pip install --upgrade pip
After this I have no more ideas. Perhaps @mrmarkuz can help.
Thank you! Lets see…
This should work but changes the systems python3.
If possible use a venv, this way systems python stays untouched and only pip in the virtual environment is updated.
# Create venv
python3 -m venv /opt/ansible
# Enter venv
source /opt/ansible/bin/activate
Example of updating pip in a virtualenv:
[root@testserver ~]# python -V
Python 2.7.5
[root@testserver ~]# python3 -V
Python 3.6.8
[root@testserver ~]# python3 -m pip -V
pip 9.0.3 from /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
[root@testserver ~]# source /opt/ansible/bin/activate
(ansible) [root@testserver ~]# python -V
Python 3.6.8
(ansible) [root@testserver ~]# pip -V
pip 9.0.3 from /opt/ansible/lib64/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
(ansible) [root@testserver ~]# pip install --upgrade pip

Another way is to use Software Collections to use more recent versions of python. @stephdl provides different scl python versions with additional options.
Here is an example of using rh-python38:
yum -y install rh-python38
scl enable rh-python38 bash
# create virtual environment
python -m venv /opt/ansible
# enter virtual environment
source /opt/ansible/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip
Another example: Matrix-synapse uses rh-python36.

Hi Markus, this went well:
But if I try to install pip install pywinrm[Kerberos] I get the next error:
I thought a higher version of python is needed but in the howto you posted Python 2.7 is used. Only the pip upgrade does not work, it’s just a warning and can be ignored.
The installation of pywinrm for kerberos works.
yum -y install python-devel krb5-devel krb5-libs krb5-workstation python-pip bind-utils ansible
pip install pywinrm[Kerberos]
