# POA Token Bridge / Deployment
Ansible playbooks for deploying cross-chain bridges.

## Overview
Please refer to the [POA Token Bridge](../README.md) overview first of all.

These playbooks are designed to automate the deployment process for cross-chain bridges on bridge validator nodes. This process installs the bridge as a service and sets .env configurations on a remote server. Playbooks for the current token-bridge deployment are located in the [bridge-nodejs](bridge-nodejs) folder.


### Rust Bridge Playbooks

The Rust bridge is not currently in production, but an Ansible playbook is developed for this implementation. It is available in the [upgradable-wo-parity](upgradable-wo-parity)folder. 

## Dependencies

The playbooks automatically install `Docker`, `docker-compose`, `Python`, `Git`and it dependencies (such as `curl`, `ca-certificates`, `apt-transport-https`, etc.). Install [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html) to launch playbooks.

## Configuration

Please see the [bridge-nodejs README](bridge-nodejs/README.md) for configuration and execution details. 

## Bridge service commands

The Bridge service is named `poabridge`. Use the default `SysVinit` commands to `start`, `stop`, `restart`, and `rebuild` the service and to check the `status` of the service. 

Commands format:
```bash
sudo service poabridge [start|stop|restart|status|rebuild]
```
