# mainnet-eth

Deploys a "head-tracking" mainnet Ethereum stack comprising a [go-ethereum](https://github.com/cerc-io/go-ethereum) execution layer node and a [lighthouse](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse) consensus layer node.

## Monitoring stack sync progress
Both go-ethereum and lighthouse will engage in an initial chain sync phase that will last up to several hours depending on hardware performance and network capacity.
Syncing can be monitored by looking for these log messages:
```

```
Once synced up these log messages will be observed:
```

```
## Clean up

Stop the stack:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir mainnet-eth-deployment stop
```
This leaves data volumes in place, allowing the stack to be subsequently re-started.
To permanently *delete* the stack's data volumes run:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir mainnet-eth-deployment stop --delete-data-volumes
```
After deleting the volumes, any subsequent re-start will begin chain sync from cold.
## Data volumes
Container data volumes are bind-mounted to specified paths in the host filesystem.
The default setup (generated by `laconic-so deploy init`) places the volumes in the `./data` subdirectory of the deployment directory:
```
$ cat mainnet-eth-spec.yml
stack: mainnet-eth
volumes:
  mainnet_eth_config_data: ./data/mainnet_eth_config_data
  mainnet_eth_geth_1_data: ./data/mainnet_eth_geth_1_data
  mainnet_eth_lighthouse_1_data: ./data/mainnet_eth_lighthouse_1_data
```
A synced-up stack will consume around 900GB of data volume space:
```
$ sudo du -h mainnet-eth-deployment/data/
150M    mainnet-eth-deployment/data/mainnet_eth_lighthouse_1_data/beacon/freezer_db
