[Feature Request]: Ansible setup for running polkadot validator

muddlebee opened this issue · comments

Add instruction to run the ansible bundle here ➡️ https://github.com/polkachu/polkadot-validator

as the older ansible repo at w3f deprecated https://github.com/w3f/polkadot-validator-setup/blob/master/GUIDE_ANSIBLE.md

In discord and element channels, I have observed many requests to setup validator, current instructions present at https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-how-to-validate-polkadot

But having ansible is easy to setup

@muddlebee I've used Ansible to deploy blockchains in the past and really think it's good for quick setup. Thoughts on using Docker to containerize the roles? That way, it will also be compatible for Windows machines to easily run a node locally.

@CrackTheCode016 sounds good. there's an issue opened here, to highlight docker use in the validator setup page #4646
