SSH into the node, retrieve the enode URL. This will be the bootnode enode for the other node.

journalctl -u geth | grep enode | grep -o -E 'enode://.+discport=0'

For [::], fill in the IP of the other node

Put the nonce, nodename and allocation Ethereum address in the hosts file like so

bootnode parameter is currently not working.

Let's encrypt has a strict rate limit. Use staging environment while developing.

[geth_node]
X.X.X.X nodename={node name} miners={thread number}

[geth_node:vars]
bootnode=enode://{pubkey}@{ip}:30303?discport=0
nonce="0x{16 hex character}"
alloc_address="0x{ether address}"
networkid={integer}
domain={domain for caddy reverse proxy}
geth_verbosity=3
letsencrypt_staging=True

Run the playbook

ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts
