How to deploy with alternate account?

[joewagner]

I am running a local hardhat node for testing. When deploying a contract it defaults to using account 0 which works great most of the time, but I was hoping to be able to deploy a contract from account 17 👇

Account #17: 0xbda5747bfd65f08deb54cb465eb87d40e51b197e (10000 ETH)
Private Key: 0x689af8efa8c651a91ad287602527f3af2fe9f6501a7ac4b061667b5a93e037fd

As an example:

const Contract = await ethers.getContractFactory("Contract");

// TODO: Is there some option I can set to specify that I want account 17? 
const contract = await upgrades.deployProxy(
  Contract,
  ["http://127.0.0.1:8080/foo/"],
  {
    kind: "uups",
  }
);
console.log("deployed to:", contract.address);

I've been searching for a bit with no results, anyone know how to do this?

In case anyone has the same question, I got this to work by using the connect method on the Contract Factory.

const accounts = await ethers.getSigners();
const account = accounts[17];

const TT = await ethers.getContractFactory("Contract");

const contract = (await upgrades.deployProxy(
    TT.connect(account),
    ["https://testnet.tableland.network/tables/"],
    {
      kind: "uups",
    }
));
