path_to_ssh_key: ""    # path to the ssh key on your machine

# vars/dns-vars.yml
full_domain: ""               # eg: laconic.com
subdomain_prefix: ""          # eg: lcn-cad
cluster_control_ip: ""        # eg: 23.111.78.179

Create a new hosts.ini file:
```
cp ../hosts.example.ini hosts.ini
```
Edit the hosts.ini file to run the playbook on a remote machine:
```
[root_host]
<host_name> ansible_host=<target_ip> ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ForwardAgent=yes'

[deployment_host]
<host_name> ansible_host=<target_ip> ansible_user=<new_username> ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ForwardAgent=yes'
```
- Replace <host_name> with the desired hostname of the remote machine
- Replace <target_ip> with the IP address or hostname of the target machine
- Under deployment_host, Replace <ansible_user> with the name of the user you want to create

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"
# }

Run the service-provider-setup.yml ansible-playbook to DNS records, deploy k8s, setup container registry, deploy the webapp-deployer API and webapp-deployer UI
```
LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook service-provider-setup.yml -i hosts.ini --extra-vars='{ target_host: "deployment_host" }' --user $USER
```
