# Halt stage0 and start stage1

Once all the participants have completed their onboarding, stage0 laconicd chain can be halted and stage1 chain can be initialized and started

## Login

* Log in as `dev` user on the deployments VM

* All the deployments are placed in the `/srv` directory:

  ```bash
  cd /srv
  ```

## Halt stage0

* Confirm the the currently running node is for stage0 chain:

  ```bash
  cd /srv/laconicd

  laconic-so deployment --dir stage0-deployment logs laconicd -f --tail 30
  ```

* List the participants on stage0:

  ```bash
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage0-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query onboarding list"
  ```

* Stop the stage0 deployment:

  ```bash
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage0-deployment stop
  ```

## Start stage1

* Use the scripts in fixturenet-laconicd stack to generate genesis file for stage1 using onboarding participants from stage0 chain with token allocations:

  ```bash
  cd /srv/laconicd

  # Set current working dir path in a variable
  DEPLOYMENTS_DIR=$(pwd)

  cd ~/cerc/fixturenet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/fixturenet-laconicd

  # Generate the genesis file
  # Participant allocation: 1000000000000 (10^12)
  # Validator allocation:   2000000000000000 (10^15)
  ./scripts/generate-stage1-genesis-using-allocations.sh $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR/stage0-deployment 1000000000000 2000000000000000

  # Expected output:
  # Genesis file for stage1 written to output/genesis.json

  # Remove the temporary data directory
  sudo rm -rf stage1-genesis

  # Go back to the directory where deployments are created
  cd $DEPLOYMENTS_DIR
  ```

* Copy over the generated genesis file (`.json`) containing the onboarding module state with funded participants to data directory in stage1 deployment (`stage1-deployment/data/genesis-config`):

  ```bash
  cd /srv/laconicd

  cp ~/cerc/fixturenet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/fixturenet-laconicd/output/genesis.json stage1-deployment/data/genesis-config/genesis.json
  ```

* Start the stage1 deployment:

  ```bash
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage1-deployment start
  ```

* Check status of stage1 laconicd:

  ```bash
  # List down the container and check health status
  docker ps -a | grep laconicd

  # Follow logs for laconicd container, check that new blocks are getting created
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage1-deployment logs laconicd -f
  ```

* Query the list of registered participants in stage1 laconicd:

  ```bash
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage1-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query onboarding list"

  # Confirm that all onboarded participants on stage0 appear in the list
  ```

* Get the node's peer adddress and stage1 genesis file to share with the participants:

  * Get the node id:

    ```bash
    echo $(laconic-so deployment --dir stage1-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd cometbft show-node-id")@laconicd.laconic.com:26656
    ```

  * Get the genesis file:

    ```bash
    scp dev@<deployments-server-hostname>:/srv/laconicd/stage1-deployment/data/laconicd-data/config/genesis.json </path/to/local/directory>
    ```
