CloudOps: Lilypad Infrastructure Deployment Using Ansible

This guide provides instructions for deploying the Lilypad infrastructure on arbitrary Debian-based nodes using Ansible. Minimum requirements: quad-core cpu, and an nvidia gpu

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Ansible installed on your control machine and access to Debian-based target nodes.

How to Use

1. Configure the Inventory File

Specify the IP addresses of your target nodes.
Set the ansible user for SSH connections.

Example Inventory File (inventory):

[lilypad]
192.0.2.1 ansible_user=ubuntu

Prepare Environment Variable Files

Place a .env.network file in the root directory, where network corresponds to the target blockchain network (e.g., sepolia, mumbai).
Each .env.network file should contain the necessary environment variables for that specific network.

3. Configure the Deployment Playbook (deploy.yml)

Update the network variable in the vars section of the playbook to match the target network. This variable determines which `.env.network`` file will be used.
The playbook will automatically select and copy the appropriate .env file based on the specified network.

Example deploy.yml:

---
- name: Deploy Lilypad Infrastructure
  hosts: lilypad
  become: true

  vars:
    network: "mumbai"  # Set your target network here

  # ... (rest of the playbook)

4. Execute the Playbook

Run the Ansible playbook to start the deployment on the specified nodes.

ansible-playbook -i inventory deploy.yml

By following these steps, you can deploy the Lilypad infrastructure on your desired Debian-based nodes for different blockchain networks using Ansible. Ensure that each target environment has its corresponding .env.network file for a seamless deployment process.
