# Halt stage1 and start stage2

## Login

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

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

  ```bash
  cd /srv
  ```

## Halt stage1

* Confirm the the currently running node is for stage1 chain:

  ```bash
  # On stage1 deployment machine
  cd /srv/laconicd

  laconic-so deployment --dir stage1-deployment logs laconicd -f --tail 30
  ```

* Stop the stage1 deployment:

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

  # Stopping this deployment marks the end of testnet stage1
  ```

## Export stage1 state

* Export the chain state:

  ```bash
  STAGE1_DEPLOYMENT=/srv/laconicd/stage1-deployment

  docker run -it \
    -v $STAGE1_DEPLOYMENT/data/laconicd-data:/root/.laconicd \
    cerc/laconicd-stage1:local bash -c "laconicd export | jq > /root/.laconicd/stage1-state.json"
  ```

* Archive the state and node config and keys:

  ```bash
  sudo tar -czf /srv/laconicd/stage1-laconicd-export.tar.gz --exclude="./data" --exclude="./tmp" -C $STAGE1_DEPLOYMENT/data/laconicd-data .
  sudo chown dev:dev /srv/laconicd/stage1-laconicd-export.tar.gz
  ```

## Initialize stage2

* Copy over the stage1 state and node export archive to stage2 deployment machine

* Extract the stage1 state and node config to stage2 deployment dir:

  ```bash
  # On stage2 deployment machine
  cd /srv/laconicd

  # Unarchive
  tar -xzf stage1-laconicd-export.tar.gz -C stage2-deployment/data/laconicd-data

  # Verify contents
  ll stage2-deployment/data/laconicd-data
  ```

* Initialize stage2 chain:

  ```bash
  DEPLOYMENT_DIR=$(pwd)

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

  STAGE2_CHAIN_ID=laconic-testnet-2
  ./scripts/initialize-stage2.sh $DEPLOYMENT_DIR/stage2-deployment $STAGE2_CHAIN_ID LaconicStage2 os 1000000000000000

  # Enter the keyring passphrase for account from stage1 when prompted

  cd $DEPLOYMENT_DIR
  ```

  * Resets the node data (`unsafe-reset-all`)

  * Initializes the `stage2-deployment` node

  * Generates the genesis file for stage2 with stage1 state

    * Carries over accounts, balances and laconicd modules from stage1

    * Skips staking and validator data

* Copy over the genesis file outside data directory:

  ```bash
  cp stage2-deployment/data/laconicd-data/config/genesis.json stage2-deployment
  ```

## Start stage2

* Start the stage2 deployment:

  ```bash
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage2-deployment start
  ```

* Check status of stage2 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 stage2-deployment logs laconicd -f
  ```

* Get the node's peer adddress and stage2 genesis file to share with the participants:

  * Get the node id:

    ```bash
    echo $(laconic-so deployment --dir stage2-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd cometbft show-node-id")@laconicd-sapo.laconic.com:36656
    ```

  * Get the genesis file:

    ```bash
    scp dev@<deployments-server-hostname>:/srv/laconicd/stage2-deployment/genesis.json </path/to/local/directory>
    ```

* Now users can follow the steps to [Upgrade to testnet2](../testnet-onboarding-validator.md#upgrade-to-testnet2)

## Bank Transfer

* Transfer tokens to an address:

  ```bash
  cd /srv/laconicd

  RECEIVER_ADDRESS=
  AMOUNT=

  laconic-so deployment --dir stage2-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd tx bank send alice ${RECEIVER_ADDRESS} ${AMOUNT}alnt --from alice --fees 1000alnt"
  ```

* Check balance:

  ```bash
  laconic-so deployment --dir stage2-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query bank balances ${RECEIVER_ADDRESS}"
  ```
