There are no available playbook directories in /var/lib/awx/projects. Either that directory is empty, or all of the contents are already assigned to other projects. Create a new directory there and make sure the playbook files can be read by the “awx” system user, or have AWX directly retrieve your playbooks from source control using the Source Control Type option above. How to fix the problem: There are no available playbook directories in /var/lib/awx/projects ? Here is a video tutorial ...

Introduction to the Pomodoro Timer Application in Node-RED In the realm of productivity tools, the Pomodoro Technique stands out as a widely adopted method for enhancing focus and efficiency. Recognizing the potential of this technique, we’ve developed a comprehensive Pomodoro Timer application using Node-RED, a flow-based development tool. This application is not just a simple timer; it’s a multifaceted tool that integrates modern web technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT) communication protocols to provide a rich, interactive user experience. ...
