This role configures a geth(go-ethereum) container.

Configuration

The only mandaotry settings is the account password, which can be set to an empty string:

geth_account_password: 'my-secret-password'

By default this role creates a new account. If you want to control the account used by the geth process you can use:

geth_account_pass: my-secret-account-pass
geth_account_json: '{"account":"json_data"}'

By default we create a Consul service definition, disable it using:

geth_consul_enabled: false
