nitro-contracts-setup

Prerequisites

• Setup Ansible: To get started, follow the installation guide to setup ansible on your machine.

• Setup user with passwordless sudo: Follow steps from Setup a user to setup a new user with passwordless sudo

Setup

The following commands have to be executed in the nitro-contracts-setup directory:

• Copy the contract-vars.example.yml vars file

  cp contract-vars.example.yml contract-vars.yml
  

• Edit contract-vars.yml and fill in the following values

  # L1 RPC endpoint
  geth_url: ""
  
  # L1 chain ID
  geth_chain_id: ""
  
  # Private key for a funded account on L1 to use for contracts deployment on L1
  geth_deployer_pk: ""
  
  # Custom L1 token to be deployed
  token_name: "TestToken"
  token_symbol: "TST"
  initial_token_supply: "129600"
  

Deploy Contracts

• Create a new hosts.ini file:

  cp ../hosts.example.ini hosts.ini
  

• Edit the hosts.ini file:

  [<deployment_host>]
  <host_name> ansible_host=<target_ip> ansible_user=<ssh_user> ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ForwardAgent=yes'
  

  • Replace <deployment_host> with nitro_host
  • 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 username of the user that you set up on target machine (e.g. dev, ubuntu)

• Verify that you are able to connect to the host using the following command

  ansible all -m ping -i hosts.ini
  
  # Expected output:
  
  # <host_name> | SUCCESS => {
  #  "ansible_facts": {
  #      "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3.10"
  #  },
  #  "changed": false,
  #  "ping": "pong"
  # }
  

• Execute the deploy-contracts.yml Ansible playbook to deploy nitro contracts:

  LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini deploy-contracts.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "nitro_host"}'  --user $USER
  

  NOTE: By default, deployments are created in an out directory. To change this location, update the nitro_directory variable in the setup-vars.yml file

• For skipping container build, run with "skip_container_build" : true in the --extra-vars parameter:

  LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini deploy-contracts.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "nitro_host", "skip_container_build": true }' --user $USER
  

Check Deployment Status

Run the following command in the directory where the nitro-contracts-deployment is created:

• Check logs for deployments:

    # Check the L2 nitro contract deployment logs
  laconic-so deployment --dir nitro-contracts-deployment logs l2-nitro-contracts -f
  

Get Contract Addresses

Run the following commands in the directory where the deployments are created:

• Get addresses of L1 nitro contracts:

  laconic-so deployment --dir nitro-contracts-deployment exec nitro-contracts "cat /app/deployment/nitro-addresses.json"
