laconic-faucet

Instructions for running the laconic faucet server

Prerequisites

• Minimum hardware requirements:

  RAM: 8-16GB
  Disk space: 200GB
  CPU: 2 cores
  

Setup

• Clone the stack repo:

  laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/laconic-testnet-faucet
  

• Clone the laconic-faucet:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconic-faucet setup-repositories
  

• Build the container image:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconic-faucet build-containers
  

  This should create the cerc/laconic-faucet image locally

Create a deployment

• Create a spec file for the deployment:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconic-faucet deploy init --output laconic-faucet-spec.yml
  

• Edit network in the spec file to map container ports to host ports as required:

  network:
    ports:
      laconic-faucet:
        - '3000:3000'
  

• Create a deployment from the spec file:

  laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/laconic-faucet deploy create --spec-file laconic-faucet-spec.yml --deployment-dir laconic-faucet-deployment
  

Configuration

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

  CERC_FAUCET_KEY=
  

Start the deployment

• To start the deployment:

  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-faucet-deployment start
  

Check status

• To list down and monitor the running container:

  # With status
  docker ps
  
  # Check logs for a container
  docker logs -f <CONTAINER_ID>
  

• Request tokens from the testnet faucet for your account if required

  curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/faucet \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"address": "<laconicd_address>"}'
  

Clean up

• Stop the laconic-faucet service running in the background:

  # Stop the docker containe
  laconic-so deployment --dir laconic-faucet-deployment stop
  

• To stop the service and also delete data:

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