This script do few things

Install Requirements for Bostrom node: firewall, GPU drivers, etc.
Install Node with Snapshot download
Install Snapshot (Only if Bostrom node already working)

Preparing the local environment

Install ansible on your local pc/laptop

brew install ansible

Add some info to inventories/hosts.ini

To ansible_host add Domain or IP address of your server
To ansible_user add name of user from your server
To ansible_become_password add password from your server

Add your ssh key with access to server to ssh-agent localy

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

WARNING:

If you decide not to add a personal ssh key to the agent, then during the execution of scripts you may be asked for a password

Install Requirements

Start script with command:

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_requirements.yaml 

Install Node

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_node.yaml --tags="pull_container,snapshot_download"

Your script should successfully complete at the snapshot_download step

You can check the download status using the command on your server:

tmux attach -t snapshot_download

To exit Tmux without interrupting the download process, use command: Ctrl+B then D

Be careful, some steps are run under Tmux on your server and must be run with separate commands presented below

This decision was made due to the fact that ansible can break connections with servers due to unstable Internet, use of VPN, etc.

After the snapshot has downloaded successfully, use the following command to unpack the archive

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_node.yaml --tags="untar"

It will create another tmux process on your server

tmux attach -t snapshot_extract

To exit Tmux without interrupting the download process, use command: Ctrl+B then D

After successfully unpacking the snapshot, run the task that adds peer addresses and restart container

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_node.yaml --tags="peers"

Install Snapshot

If you already have a node and you want to download and install a new snapshot then use the following commands

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_node.yaml --tags="snapshot_download"

Run the following command only if you are sure that the snapshot has been downloaded

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_node.yaml --tags="untar"

Run the following command only if you are sure that the snapshot has been successfully untar into the ~/.cyber folder

ansible-playbook -i inventories/hosts.ini install_node.yaml --tags="start_bostrom"
