# stack-orchestrator-setup

## Setup Ansible

To get started, follow the [installation](../README.md#installation) guide to setup ansible on your machine

## Setup Stack Orchestrator

The following commands have to be executed in the [`stack-orchestrator-setup`](./) directory:

### On Local Host

To setup stack orchestrator locally, execute the `setup-laconic-so.yml` Ansible playbook:

```bash
LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook setup-laconic-so.yml --user $USER -kK
```

### On Remote Host

To run the playbook on a remote host:

- 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
  [<deployment_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 `deploy-contracts.yml` Ansible playbook for remote deployment:

  ```bash
  LANG=en_US.utf8 ansible-playbook setup-laconic-so.yml  -i hosts.ini  --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "deployment_host"}' --user $USER -kK
  ```
