Deployment Settings

Deployment settings within Lodestar Forge.

Several settings are available within Forge to customize your deployment experience. An overview of these settings is provided below.

Ansible Output

This setting allows you to customise the verbosity of the Ansible output, useful for debugging custom configuration templates. There are two options available for this setting: "Normal" and "Verbose".

Extra User-Data

When deploying infrastructure using Forge, by default, user data scripts are utilised to onboard instances to your Tailscale network. Although configuration templates are recommended for executing commands and scripts, this setting allows you to define a custom user data script.

Note

Any custom user data script which you define will be executed in addition to Forge's default user data script. The default user data script is not overwritten by this value.

Tailscale Tag

This setting allows you to define a custom Tailscale tag which will be applied to all instances deployed using Forge. More information on Tailscale ACLs and Tags can be found here.
