Instructions for running a laconicd testnet full node and joining as a validator

Prerequisites

  • Minimum hardware requirements:

    RAM: 8-16GB
    Disk space: 200GB
    CPU: 2 cores
    
  • Testnet genesis file (file or an URL) and peer node addresses

Setup

  • Clone the stack repo:

    laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-laconicd-stack
    
  • Clone required repositories:

    laconic-so --stack /home/prathamesh/deepstack/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node setup-repositories
    
  • Build the container images:

    laconic-so --stack /home/prathamesh/deepstack/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node build-containers
    

    This should create the following docker images locally:

    • cerc/laconic2d
    • cerc/laconic-registry-cli
    • cerc/webapp-base
    • cerc/laconic-console-host

Create a deployment

  • Create a spec file for the deployment:

    laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node deploy init --output laconic-full-node-spec.yml
    
  • Edit network in the spec file to map container ports to host ports as required:

    ...
    network:
      # TODO: UPDATE
      ports:
        laconicd:
          - '6060:6060'
          - '26657:26657'
          - '26656:26656'
          - '9473:9473'
          - '9090:9090'
          - '1317:1317'
    
  • Create a deployment from the spec file:

    laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconicd-full-node deploy create --spec-file  laconic-full-node-spec.yml --deployment-dir laconic-full-node-deployment
    
  • (Optional) Copy over the genesis file (.json) to config data directory in deployment (laconic-full-node-deployment/data/laconicd-data/config):

    # Example
    mkdir -p laconic-full-node-deployment/data/laconicd-data/config
    cp genesis.json laconic-full-node-deployment/data/laconicd-config/genesis.json
    

Configuration

  • Inside the deployment directory, open config.env file and set following env variables:

    # Comma separated list of nodes to keep persistent connections to
    # Example: "node-1-id@node-1-host:26656,node-2-id@node-2-host:26656"
    CERC_PEERS=""
    
    # Optional
    
    # A custom human readable name for this node (default: TestnetNode)
    CERC_MONIKER=
    
    # Network chain ID (default: laconic_9000-1)
    CERC_CHAIN_ID=
    
    # Genesis file URL
    # Not required if a genesis file is placed in the config data directory in previous steps
    CERC_GENESIS_FILE_URL=
    
    # Output log level (default: info)
    CERC_LOGLEVEL=
    

Start the deployment

laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment start

Check status

  • To list down and monitor the running containers:

    # With status
    docker ps -a
    
    # Check logs for a container
    docker logs -f <CONTAINER_ID>
    
  • Check the sync status of your node:

    docker exec -it <LACONICD_CONTAINER_ID> status | jq .sync_info
    

Join as testnet validator

Clean up

  • Stop all services running in the background:

    # Stop the docker containers
    laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment stop
    
  • To stop all services and also delete data:

    # Stop the docker containers
    laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-full-node-deployment stop --delete-volumes
    
    # Remove deployment directory (deployment will have to be recreated for a re-run)
    rm -r laconic-full-node-deployment
