# replace ssh_public_key with your personal public key for easy accessing the deployed environments.
# configure the 'servers' array to reflect your target environment.

# Validate the ansible files in the templates folder and customise one to your needs
# Note: the ansible yaml file should match the servers array in the Vagrantfile

# Grab the yml filename from the templates folder you would like to apply and specify it as the TEMPLATE
# For example, for a 1 node cluster without any security run:
VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE=Vagrantfile_1node TEMPLATE=1node.yml vagrant up

# To run a 1 node environment with SASL SCRAM and mTLS run the following:
VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE=Vagrantfile_1node TEMPLATE=1node_sasl_scram_mtls.yml vagrant up

# To run a 3 node environment without any security run:
VAGRANT_VAGRANTFILE=Vagrantfile_3node TEMPLATE=3node.yml vagrant up

# use vagrant ssh
vagrant ssh

# use the provided ssh_public_key
ssh root@<hostname>

# Once done testing, using
vagrant destroy
