Prerequisites
-
Minimum hardware requirements:
RAM: 8-16GB Disk space: 200GB CPU: 2 cores
-
Testnet genesis file and peer node address
-
Mnemonic from the wallet
-
Participant onboarded on stage0
Setup
-
Clone the stack repo:
laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-laconicd-stack
-
Clone required repositories:
laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/testnet-laconicd setup-repositories --pull # If this throws an error as a result of being already checked out to a branch/tag in a repo, remove the repositories and re-run the command
-
Build the container images:
laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/testnet-laconicd build-containers
This should create the following docker images locally:
cerc/laconicd
Create a deployment
-
Create a spec file for the deployment:
laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/testnet-laconicd deploy init --output testnet-laconicd-spec.yml
-
Edit
network
in the spec file to map container ports to host ports as required:# testnet-laconicd-spec.yml ... network: ports: laconicd: - '6060:6060' - '26657:26657' - '26656:26656' - '9473:9473' - '9090:9090' - '1317:1317'
-
Create the deployment from the spec file:
laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/testnet-laconicd deploy create --spec-file testnet-laconicd-spec.yml --deployment-dir testnet-laconicd-deployment
-
Copy over the published testnet genesis file (
.json
) to data directory in deployment (testnet-laconicd-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp
):# Example mkdir -p testnet-laconicd-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp cp genesis.json testnet-laconicd-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp/genesis.json
Configuration
-
Inside the
testnet-laconicd-deployment
deployment directory, openconfig.env
file and set following env variables:# Comma separated list of nodes to keep persistent connections to # Example: "node-1-id@laconicd.laconic.com:26656" # Use the provided node id CERC_PEERS="" # A custom human readable name for this node CERC_MONIKER=
Start the deployment
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment start
Check status
-
To list down and monitor the running containers:
# With status docker ps -a # Follow logs for laconicd container laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment logs laconicd -f
-
Check the sync status of your node:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd status | jq .sync_info" # `catching_up: false` indicates that node is completely synced
-
After the node has caught up, view current list of validators:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query staking validators"
- Confirm that in the list of validators, your node moniker does not exist
Join as testnet validator
-
Open the wallet: https://wallet.laconic.com/
-
Create a validator from the onboarding app:
-
Visit the validator creation page
- If required, connect testnet-onboarding app to the wallet with which onboarding was done on stage0
-
Select the Laconic account (same as the one used while onboarding) using which you wish to send the create validator request
-
This should display the details of your onboarded participant
-
You can proceed if the participant has
validator
role
-
-
Enter your node's moniker (use the same one used while configuring the
testnet-laconicd-deployment
) -
Fetch and enter your validator's pubkey:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd cometbft show-validator" | jq -r .key
-
Send the transaction request to wallet
- From wallet, approve and send transaction to stage1 laconicd chain
-
-
Alternatively, create a validator using the laconicd CLI:
-
Import a key pair:
KEY_NAME=alice # Restore existing key with mnemonic seed phrase # You will be prompted to enter mnemonic seed laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd keys add $KEY_NAME --recover" # Query the keystore for your account's address laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd keys show $KEY_NAME -a"
-
Check balance for your account:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query bank balances <account-address>"
-
Create required validator configuration:
# Note: # Edit the staking amount and other fields as required # Replace <your-node-moniker> with your node's moniker in command below laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd 'cat <<EOF > my-validator.json { "pubkey": $(laconicd cometbft show-validator), "amount": "1000000000000000alnt", "moniker": "<your-node-moniker>", "commission-rate": "0.1", "commission-max-rate": "0.2", "commission-max-change-rate": "0.01", "min-self-delegation": "1" } EOF'
-
Create a validator:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd tx staking create-validator my-validator.json \ --fees 500000alnt \ --chain-id=laconic_9000-1 \ --from $KEY_NAME"
-
-
View validators:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query staking validators"
- Check that in the list of validators
<your-node-moniker>
exists
- Check that in the list of validators
-
View validator set:
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment exec laconicd "laconicd query consensus comet validator-set"
Clean up
-
Stop all
testnet-laconicd
services running in the background:# Stop the docker containers laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment stop
-
To stop all services and also delete data:
# Stop the docker containers laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment stop --delete-volumes # Remove deployment directory (deployment will have to be recreated for a re-run) sudo rm -r testnet-laconicd-deployment
Upgrade to testnet2
Prerequisites
-
testnet2 genesis file and peer node address
-
A testnet stage1 node
Setup
-
Stop the stage1 node:
# In dir where stage1 node deployment (`testnet-laconicd-deployment`) exists TESTNET_DEPLOYMENT=$(pwd)/testnet-laconicd-deployment laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment stop --delete-volumes
-
Clone / pull the stack repo:
laconic-so fetch-stack git.vdb.to/cerc-io/testnet-laconicd-stack --pull
-
Clone / pull the required repositories:
laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/testnet-laconicd setup-repositories --pull # If this throws an error as a result of being already checked out to a branch/tag in a repo, remove the repositories and re-run the command
-
Build the container images:
laconic-so --stack ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack/stack-orchestrator/stacks/testnet-laconicd build-containers --force-rebuild
This should create the following docker images locally with latest changes:
cerc/laconicd
Create a deployment
-
The existing stage1 deployment can be used for testnet2
-
Copy over the published testnet2 genesis file (
.json
) to data directory in deployment (testnet-laconicd-deployment/data/laconicd-data/tmp-testnet2
):# Example mkdir -p $TESTNET_DEPLOYMENT/data/laconicd-data/tmp-testnet2 cp genesis.json $TESTNET_DEPLOYMENT/data/laconicd-data/tmp-testnet2/genesis.json
-
Run script to reset node data and upgrade for testnet2:
cd ~/cerc/testnet-laconicd-stack docker run -it \ -v $TESTNET_DEPLOYMENT/data/laconicd-data:/root/.laconicd \ -v ./ops/stage2:/scripts \ cerc/laconicd:local bash -c "/scripts/upgrade-node-to-testnet2.sh" cd $TESTNET_DEPLOYMENT
Configuration
-
Inside the
testnet-laconicd-deployment
deployment directory, openconfig.env
file and set following env variables:CERC_CHAIN_ID=laconic-testnet-2 # Comma separated list of nodes to keep persistent connections to # Example: "node-1-id@laconicd-testnet2.laconic.com:36656" # Use the provided node id CERC_PEERS="" # A custom human readable name for this node CERC_MONIKER=
Start the deployment
laconic-so deployment --dir testnet-laconicd-deployment start
