+
+* Stack: <https://git.vdb.to/cerc-io/fixturenet-optimism-stack>
+
+* Source repos:
+  * <github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism@v1.7.7>
+  * <github.com/ethereum-optimism/op-geth@v1.101315.2>
+
+* Target dir: `/srv/op-sepolia/optimism-deployment`
+
+* Cleanup an existing deployment on VM if required:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd /srv/op-sepolia
+
+  # Stop the deployment
+  laconic-so deployment --dir optimism-deployment stop --delete-volumes
+
+  # Remove the deployment dir
+  sudo rm -rf optimism-deployment
+  ```
+
+### Setup
+
+* Switch to `testnet-ops/l2-setup` directory on your local machine:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd testnet-ops/l2-setup
+  ```
+
+* Copy the `l2-vars-example.yml` vars file:
+
+  ```bash
+  cp l2-vars-example.yml l2-vars.yml
+  ```
+
+* Edit `l2-vars.yml` with required values:
+
+  ```bash
+  # L1 chain ID (Sepolia: 11155111)
+  l1_chain_id: "11155111"
+
+  # L1 RPC endpoint
+  l1_rpc: "http://host.docker.internal:8545"
+
+  # L1 RPC endpoint host or IP address
+  l1_host: "host.docker.internal"
+
+  # L1 RPC endpoint port number
+  l1_port: "8545"
+
+  # L1 Beacon endpoint
+  l1_beacon: "http://host.docker.internal:8001"
+
+  # Account credentials for the Admin account
+  # Used for Optimism contracts deployment and funding other generated accounts
+  l1_address: ""
+  l1_priv_key: ""
+  ```
+
+* Update the target dir in `setup-vars.yml`:
+
+  ```bash
+  sed -i 's|^l2_directory:.*|l2_directory: /srv/op-sepolia|' setup-vars.yml
+
+  # Will create deployment at /srv/op-sepolia/optimism-deployment
+  ```
+
+### Run
+
+* Set up and run L2 on remote host by executing `run-optimism.yml` Ansible playbook on your local machine:
+
+  * Create a new `hosts.ini` file:
+
+      ```bash
+      cp ../hosts.example.ini hosts.ini
+      ```
+
+  * Edit the [`hosts.ini`](./hosts.ini) file to run the playbook on a remote machine:
+
+    ```ini
+    [l2_host]
+    <host_name> ansible_host=<target_ip> ansible_user=<ssh_user> ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ForwardAgent=yes'
+    ```
+
+    - Replace `<host_name>` with the alias of your choice
+    - Replace `<target_ip>` with the IP address or hostname of the target machine
+    - Replace `<ssh_user>` with the SSH username (e.g., dev, ubuntu)
+
+  * Verify that you are able to connect to the host using the following command:
+
+    ```bash
+    ansible all -m ping -i hosts.ini -k
+
+    # Expected output:
+    # <host_name> | SUCCESS => {
+    #  "ansible_facts": {
+    #      "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3.10"
+    #  },
+    #  "changed": false,
+    #  "ping": "pong"
+    # }
+    ```
+
+  * Execute the `run-optimism.yml` Ansible playbook for remote deployment:
+
+    ```bash
+    LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini run-optimism.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "l2_host"}'  --user $USER -kK
+    ```
+
+* Bridge funds on L2:
+
+  * On the deployment VM, set the following variables:
+
+    ```bash
+    cd /srv/op-sepolia
+
+    L1_RPC=http://host.docker.internal:8545
+    L2_RPC=http://host.docker.internal:9545
+
+    NETWORK=$(grep 'cluster-id' optimism-deployment/deployment.yml | sed 's/cluster-id: //')_default
+
+    DEPLOYMENT_CONTEXT=11155111
+    ACCOUNT=<admin-account-address>
+    ```
+
+  * Read the bridge contract address from the L1 deployment records in the `op-node` container:
+
+    ```bash
+    BRIDGE=$(laconic-so deployment --dir optimism-deployment exec op-node "cat /l1-deployment/$DEPLOYMENT_CONTEXT-deploy.json" | jq -r .L1StandardBridgeProxy)
+
+    # Get the funded account's pk
+    ACCOUNT_PK=$(laconic-so deployment --dir optimism-deployment exec op-node "jq -r '.AdminKey' /l2-accounts/accounts.json")
+    ```
+
+  * Check that the starting balance for account on L2 is 0:
+
+    ```bash
+    docker run --rm --network $NETWORK cerc/optimism-contracts:local "cast balance $ACCOUNT --rpc-url $L2_RPC"
+
+    # 0
+    ```
+
+  * Use cast to send ETH to the bridge contract:
+
+    ```bash
+    docker run --rm cerc/optimism-contracts:local "cast send --from $ACCOUNT --value 1ether $BRIDGE --rpc-url $L1_RPC --private-key $ACCOUNT_PK"
+    ```
+
+    * Allow a couple minutes for the bridge to complete
+
+  * Check balance on L2:
+
+    ```bash
+    docker run --rm --network $NETWORK cerc/optimism-contracts:local "cast balance $ACCOUNT --rpc-url $L2_RPC"
+
+    # 100000000000000000

+  # Will create deployments at $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/nitro-node/l1-nitro-deployment and $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/nitro-node/l2-nitro-deployment
+  ```
+
+## Run
+
+* Setup and run a Nitro node (L1+L2) by executing the `run-nitro-nodes.yml` Ansible playbook:
+
+  ```bash
+  LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook -i localhost, --connection=local run-nitro-nodes.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "localhost"}' --user $USER
+  ```
+
+* Check status:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/nitro-node
+
+  # Check the logs, ensure that the nodes are running
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment logs nitro-node -f
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l2-nitro-deployment logs nitro-node -f
+  ```
+
+## Create Channels
+
+* Create a ledger channel with the bridge on L1 that gets mirrored on L2
+
+* Set required variables:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/nitro-node
+
+  # Fetch the required Nitro node config
+  wget https://git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-laconicd-stack/raw/branch/main/ops/stage2/nitro-node-config.yml
+
+  export BRIDGE_NITRO_ADDRESS=$(yq eval '.bridge_nitro_address' nitro-node-config.yml)
+  export L1_ASSET_ADDRESS=$(yq eval '.l1_asset_address' nitro-node-config.yml)
+  ```
+
+* Check that check that you have no existing channels on L1 or L2:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment exec nitro-rpc-client "nitro-rpc-client get-all-ledger-channels -p 4005 -h nitro-node"
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l2-nitro-deployment exec nitro-rpc-client "nitro-rpc-client get-all-ledger-channels -p 4005 -h nitro-node"
+
+  # Expected output:
+  # []
+  ```
+
+* Create a ledger channel between your L1 Nitro node and Bridge with custom asset:
+
+  ```bash
+  # Set amount to ledger
+  LEDGER_AMOUNT=1000000
+
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment exec nitro-rpc-client "nitro-rpc-client direct-fund $BRIDGE_NITRO_ADDRESS --assetAddress $L1_ASSET_ADDRESS --alphaAmount $LEDGER_AMOUNT --betaAmount $LEDGER_AMOUNT -p 4005 -h nitro-node"
+
+  # Follow your L1 Nitro node logs for progress
+
+  # Expected Output:
+  # Objective started DirectFunding-0x161d289a50222caa781db215bb82a3ede4f557217742245525b8e8cbff04ec21
+  # Channel Open 0x161d289a50222caa781db215bb82a3ede4f557217742245525b8e8cbff04ec21
+
+  # Set the resulting ledger channel id in a variable
+  export LEDGER_CHANNEL_ID=
+  ```
+
+  * Check the [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) section if command to create a ledger channel fails or gets stuck
+
+* Once direct-fund objective is complete, the bridge will create a mirrored channel on L2
+
+* Check L2 Nitro node's logs to see that a bridged-fund objective completed:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l2-nitro-deployment logs nitro-node -f --tail 30
+
+  # Expected Output:
+  # nitro-node-1  | 5:01AM INF INFO Objective cranked address=0xaaa6628ec44a8a742987ef3a114ddfe2d4f7adce objective-id=bridgedfunding-0x6a9f5ccf1fa802525d794f4a899897f947615f6acc7141e61e056a8bfca29179 waiting-for=WaitingForNothing
+  # nitro-node-1  | 5:01AM INF INFO Objective is complete & returned to API address=0xaaa6628ec44a8a742987ef3a114ddfe2d4f7adce objective-id=bridgedfunding-0x6a9f5ccf1fa802525d794f4a899897f947615f6acc7141e61e056a8bfca29179
+  ```
+
+* Check status of L1 ledger channel with the bridge using channel id:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment exec nitro-rpc-client "nitro-rpc-client get-ledger-channel $LEDGER_CHANNEL_ID -p 4005 -h nitro-node"
+
+  # Expected output:
+  # {
+  #   ID: '0x161d289a50222caa781db215bb82a3ede4f557217742245525b8e8cbff04ec21',
+  #   Status: 'Open',
+  #   Balance: {
+  #     AssetAddress: '<l1-asset-address>',
+  #     Me: '<your-nitro-address>',
+  #     Them: '<bridge-nitro-address>',
+  #     MyBalance: <ledger-amount>n,
+  #     TheirBalance: <ledger-amount>n
+  #   },
+  #   ChannelMode: 'Open'
+  # }
+  ```
+
+* Check status of the mirrored channel on L2:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l2-nitro-deployment exec nitro-rpc-client "nitro-rpc-client get-all-ledger-channels -p 4005 -h nitro-node"
+
+  # Expected output:
+  # [
+  #   {
+  #     "ID": "0x6a9f5ccf1fa802525d794f4a899897f947615f6acc7141e61e056a8bfca29179",
+  #     "Status": "Open",
+  #     "Balance": {
+  #       "AssetAddress": "<l2-asset-address>",
+  #       "Me": "<your-nitro-address>",
+  #       "Them": "<bridge-nitro-address>",
+  #       "MyBalance": <ledger-amount>n,
+  #       "TheirBalance": <ledger-amount>n
+  #     },
+  #     "ChannelMode": "Open"
+  #   }
+  # ]
+  ```
+
+## Clean up
+
+* Switch to deployments dir:
+
+  ```bash
+  cd $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/nitro-node
+  ```
+
+* Stop all Nitro services running in the background:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment stop
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l2-nitro-deployment stop
+  ```
+
+* To stop all services and also delete data:
+
+  ```bash
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment stop --delete-volumes
+  laconic-so deployment --dir l2-nitro-deployment stop --delete-volumes
+
+  # Remove deployment directories (deployments will have to be recreated for a re-run)
+  sudo rm -r l1-nitro-deployment
+  sudo rm -r l2-nitro-deployment
+  ```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+* Stop (`Ctrl+C`) the direct-fund command if it is stuck
+
+* Restart the L1 Nitro node:
+
+  * Stop the deployment:
+
+    ```bash
+    cd $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/nitro-node
+
+    laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment stop
+    ```
+
+  * Reset the node's durable store:
+
+    ```bash
+    sudo rm -rf l1-nitro-deployment/data/nitro_node_data
+
+    mkdir l1-nitro-deployment/data/nitro_node_data
+    ```
+
+  * Restart the deployment:
+
+    ```bash
+    laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment start
+    ```
+
+* Retry the ledger channel creation command
