Graph Node

Setup

Clone required repositories:

laconic-so --stack graph-node setup-repositories --pull

Checkout to a non-default branch in the cloned repos if required:

# Default repo base dir
cd ~/cerc

# Example
cd graph-node
git checkout <your-branch> && git pull

# Remove the corresponding docker image if it already exists
docker image rm cerc/graph-node:local
# Remove any dangling images
docker image prune

Build the container images:

laconic-so --stack graph-node build-containers

Create a deployment

Initialize deployment and create "spec" file:

laconic-so --stack graph-node deploy init --output graph-node-spec.yml

We need to assign fixed ports: 8000 for subgraph GQL endpoint, 8020 for subgraph deployment and 5001 for IPFS. The values can be customized by editing the "spec" file generated by laconic-so deploy init.

$ cat graph-node-spec.yml
stack: graph-node
ports:
  graph-node:
    - '8000:8000'
    - '8001'
    - '8020:8020'
    - '8030'
  ipfs:
    - '8080'
    - '4001'
    - '5001:5001'
...

Create deployment:

laconic-so deploy create --spec-file graph-node-spec.yml --deployment-dir graph-node-deployment

Start the stack

Create an env file with the following values to be set before starting the stack:

# Set ETH RPC endpoint the graph node will use

# Host and port of the ETH RPC endpoint to check before starting graph-node
export ETH_RPC_HOST=
export ETH_RPC_PORT=

# The etherum network(s) graph-node will connect to
# Set this to a space-separated list of the networks where each entry has the form NAME:URL
export ETH_NETWORKS=

Example env file:

export ETH_RPC_HOST=filecoin.chainup.net
export ETH_RPC_PORT=443

export ETH_NETWORKS=filecoin:https://filecoin.chainup.net/rpc/v1

Set the environment variables:

source <PATH_TO_ENV_FILE>

Deploy the stack:

laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment start

# Note: Remove any existing volumes in the cluster for a fresh start

After all services have started, follow graph-node logs:

laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment logs -f graph-node

Subgraphs can now be deployed to the graph-node. Follow Deploy the Subgraph section in graph-node docs for an existing subgraph.

Set environment variables

  • The graph-node environment variable ETHEREUM_REORG_THRESHOLD can be set in the deployment compose file

    $ cat graph-node-deployment/compose/docker-compose-graph-node.yml
    services:
      graph-node:
        image: cerc/graph-node:local
        ...
        environment:
          ...
          GRAPH_LOG: debug
          ETHEREUM_REORG_THRESHOLD: 3
    

    Change ETHEREUM_REORG_THRESHOLD to desired value

    • To restart graph-node with updated values
      • Stop the stack first
        laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment stop
        
      • Start the stack again
        laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment start
        
    • To check if environment variable has been updated in graph-node container
      $ laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment exec graph-node bash
      root@dc4d3abe1615:/# echo $ETHEREUM_REORG_THRESHOLD
      16
      

Clean up

Stop all the services running in background run:

laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment stop

Clear volumes created by this stack:

laconic-so deployment --dir graph-node-deployment stop --delete-volumes
