# Example: "/ip4/192.168.x.y/tcp/3009"
# Example: "/dns4/example.com/tcp/3009"
nitro_l1_ext_multiaddr: ""

# Multiaddr with publically accessible IP address / DNS for your L2 nitro node

To run a nitro node, execute the run-nitro-nodes.yml Ansible playbook by running one of the following commands:
- For local deployment, specify the "target_host": localhost in the --extra-vars parameter:
```
LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook run-nitro-nodes.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "localhost"}' -kK --user $USER
```
- For remote deployment, provide an inventory and specify the "target_host": nitro_host in the --extra-vars parameter:
```
LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook -i ./hosts.ini run-nitro-nodes.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "nitro_host"}' -kK --user $USER
```
  NOTE: By default, deployments are created in a 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 run-nitro-nodes.yml --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "nitro_host", "skip_container_build": true }' -kK --user $USER
```

Check Deployment Status

Run the following command in the directory where the deployments are created

Check L1 nitro node logs:

laconic-so deployment --dir l1-nitro-deployment logs nitro-node -f
