You can use the `forge.sh` to **setup**, **heat-up** and **cool-down** the forge.
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD013 -->
| Command | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `./forge.sh setup` | Setup the forge for the first time or update existing setup |
| `./forge.sh heat-up` | Start the forge |
| `./forge.sh cool-down` | Stop the forge |
<!-- markdownlint-enable MD013 -->
### Usage
..tbd...
Once the forge has been setup the following recipes are available via [just command runner](https://github.com/casey/just).
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD013 -->
| Just recipe | Input argument | Default argument value | Description |
| --------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| `forge_project-clone` | `forge_config_var_file` | $HOME/ublue-os_forge/forge_default_vars.env | Clone git project repository |
| `forge_project-build` | `forge_config_var_file` | $HOME/ublue-os_forge/forge_default_vars.env | Build container image and upload to registry |
<!-- markdownlint-enable MD013 -->
All available settings for the `forge_config_var_file` are documented in the [variables.md](./docs/variables.md)
file. To launch a recipe you simple run:
```sh
just -f forge.just {{ recipe_name }} {{ forge_config_var_file }}
```
**_Example:_**
```sh
just -f forge.just forge_project-clone /var/home/stephan/ublue-os_forge/my-forge-project.env
```
In case you don't have [just command runner](https://github.com/casey/just) available.
Have a look at the [forge.just](./forge.just) file. It easy enough to understand which commands
are executed via the just recipes.

# Variables
The following sections contains all important variables defined for daily usage.
All variables mentioned here can be declared in a line-delimited file of environment variables.
An example file on the host system with all variables available will be created on setup
for you. By default it can be found under `$HOME/ublue-os_forge/forge_default_vars.env`.
On playbook launch the variable file will be imported into the ansible container so that
the settings are available during playbook execution.
