Ansible Playbook for Ordinals Full Node Build - Linux and Ubuntu The images produced do not include final /var/bitcoin/data directory setup
The playboook installs Bitcoin, Rust, and compiles https://github.com/gmart7t2/ord.git and https://github.com/casey/ord.git
Window has RPC URL issues at volume, this appears disk/rpc call timeout related, as example, Disk usage may go to 100% during index commit at 5000, take a very long time depending on disk speed and then blow out, requiring index rebuild or index recovery if using latest ord versions.
Recommendation is to either run from Windows Ubuntu, or as done here, using Ord compiled in either Casey or Greg version within the instance. The Ansible below compiles Ord in both versions, renaming Gregs versions to ordg.
For a full list of the lastet ordg options, see https://github.com/gmart7t2/ord/blob/master/src/options.rs
Example Archictures
A) Full Windows Native Full Bitcoin Node - Docker Localhost --rpc-url
Ubuntu Docker Instance - Native Ordg installed and complied
Docker --volume launched with /bitcoin and /ordinal directories configured to connect direct from Ubuntu Ord compiled version
This connects to Windows Native Bitcoin using Ubuntu native source-compiled Ord and Ordg
B) Ubuntu Native Bitcoin and compiled Ord
Docker launched with /bitcoin and /ordinal volumes
No native services outside the docker instance, native windows volumes mounted within Docker.
This is solid and removes the --rpc-url and docker host proxy, however screen or ssh should be used to Docker Attach otherwise Bitcoin needs to be launched as a job and attaching creates a single entry point with all stdout going to the active console.
