+
+* Source repos: <https://github.com/cerc-io/go-nitro>
+
+* Target dir: `/srv/bridge/nitro-contracts-deployment`
+
+* Cleanup an existing deployment if required:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd /srv/bridge
+
+  # Stop the deployment
+  laconic-so deployment --dir nitro-contracts-deployment stop --delete-volumes
+
+  # Remove the deployment dir

+  ```
+
+* Copy the `contract-vars-example.yml` vars file

+
+### Run
+
+* To deploy nitro contracts locally, execute the `deploy-contracts.yml` Ansible playbook:
+
+  ```bash
+  LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook deploy-contracts.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "localhost"}' --user $USER -kK
+  ```
+
+  * For skipping container build, set `"skip_container_build" : true` in the `--extra-vars` parameter:
+
+  ```bash
+  LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook deploy-contracts.yml --extra-vars='{"target_host" : "localhost", "skip_container_build": true}' --user $USER -kK
+  ```
+
+* Check logs for deployments:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd /srv/bridge
+
+  # Check the l1 nitro contract deployments
+  laconic-so deployment --dir nitro-contracts-deployment logs nitro-contracts  -f
