Binary -archives are published at https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads/. +The upstream Geth client exists primarily to serve as a client for the Ethereum +mainnet, though it also supports a number of popular testnets. Supporting the +Ethereum mainnet is a big enough challenge in its own right that the Geth team +generally avoids changes to support other networks, or to provide features only +a small handful of users would be interested in. -## Building the source +The result is that many projects have forked Geth. Some implement their own +consensus protocols or alter the behavior of the EVM to support other networks. +Others are designed to extract information from the Ethereum mainnet in ways +the standard Geth client does not support. -For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the [Installation Instructions](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/install-and-build/installing-geth). +Creating numerous different forks to fill a variety of different needs comes +with a number of drawbacks. Forks tend to drift apart from each other. Many +networks that forked from Geth long ago have stopped merging updates from Geth; +this makes some sense, given that those networks have moved in different +directions than Geth and merging upstream changes while properly maintaining +consensus rules of an existing network could prove quite challenging. But not +merging changes from upstream can mean that security updates are easily missed, +especially when the upstream team [obscures security updates as optimizations](https://blog.openrelay.xyz/vulnerability-lifecycle-framework-geth/) +as a matter of process. -Building `geth` requires both a Go (version 1.14 or later) and a C compiler. You can install -them using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run +PluGeth aims to provide a single Geth fork that developers can choose to extend +rather than forking the Geth project. Out of the box, PluGeth behaves exactly +like upstream Geth, but by installing plugins written in Golang, developers can +extend its functionality in a wide variety of way. + +## Anatomy of a Plugin + +Plugins for Plugeth use Golang's [Native Plugin System](https://golang.org/pkg/plugin/). +Plugin modules must export variables using specific names and types. These will +be processed by the plugin loader, and invoked at certain points during Geth's +operations. + +### API + +#### Flags + +* **Name**: Flags +* **Type**: [flag.FlagSet](https://golang.org/pkg/flag/#FlagSet) +* **Behavior**: This FlagSet will be parsed and your plugin will be able to + access the resulting flags. Note that if any flags are provided, certain + checks are disabled within Geth to avoid failing due to unexpected flags. + +#### Subcommands + +* **Name**: Subcommands +* **Type**: map[string]func(ctx [*cli.Context](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/urfave/cli#Context), args []string) error +* **Behavior**: If Geth is invoked with `geth YOUR_COMMAND`, the plugin loader + will look for `YOUR_COMMAND` within this map, and invoke the corresponding + function. This can be useful for certain behaviors like manipulating Geth's + database without having to build a separate binary. + +#### Tracers + +* **Name**: Tracer +* **Type**: map[string]TracerResult +* **Behavior**: When calling debug.traceX functions (such as debug_traceCall + and debug_traceTransaction) the tracer can be specified as a key to this map + and the tracer used will be the TracerResult specified here.

It is the entry point into the Ethereum network (main-, test- or private net), capable of running as a full node (default), archive node (retaining all historical state) or a light node (retrieving data live). It can be used by other processes as a gateway into the Ethereum network via JSON RPC endpoints exposed on top of HTTP, WebSocket and/or IPC transports. `geth --help` and the [CLI page](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface/command-line-options) for command line options. | -| `clef` | Stand-alone signing tool, which can be used as a backend signer for `geth`. | -| `devp2p` | Utilities to interact with nodes on the networking layer, without running a full blockchain. | -| `abigen` | Source code generator to convert Ethereum contract definitions into easy to use, compile-time type-safe Go packages. It operates on plain [Ethereum contract ABIs](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/develop/abi-spec.html) with expanded functionality if the contract bytecode is also available. However, it also accepts Solidity source files, making development much more streamlined. Please see our [Native DApps](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/dapp/native-bindings) page for details. | -| `bootnode` | Stripped down version of our Ethereum client implementation that only takes part in the network node discovery protocol, but does not run any of the higher level application protocols. It can be used as a lightweight bootstrap node to aid in finding peers in private networks. | -| `evm` | Developer utility version of the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) that is capable of running bytecode snippets within a configurable environment and execution mode. Its purpose is to allow isolated, fine-grained debugging of EVM opcodes (e.g. `evm --code 60ff60ff --debug run`). | -| `rlpdump` | Developer utility tool to convert binary RLP ([Recursive Length Prefix](https://eth.wiki/en/fundamentals/rlp)) dumps (data encoding used by the Ethereum protocol both network as well as consensus wise) to user-friendlier hierarchical representation (e.g. `rlpdump --hex CE0183FFFFFFC4C304050583616263`). | -| `puppeth` | a CLI wizard that aids in creating a new Ethereum network. | - -## Running `geth` - -Going through all the possible command line flags is out of scope here (please consult our -[CLI Wiki page](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface/command-line-options)), -but we've enumerated a few common parameter combos to get you up to speed quickly -on how you can run your own `geth` instance. - -### Full node on the main Ethereum network - -By far the most common scenario is people wanting to simply interact with the Ethereum -network: create accounts; transfer funds; deploy and interact with contracts. For this -particular use-case the user doesn't care about years-old historical data, so we can -fast-sync quickly to the current state of the network. To do so: - -```shell -$ geth console -``` - -This command will: - * Start `geth` in fast sync mode (default, can be changed with the `--syncmode` flag), - causing it to download more data in exchange for avoiding processing the entire history - of the Ethereum network, which is very CPU intensive. - * Start up `geth`'s built-in interactive [JavaScript console](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interface/javascript-console), - (via the trailing `console` subcommand) through which you can interact using [`web3` methods](https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/) - (note: the `web3` version bundled within `geth` is very old, and not up to date with official docs), - as well as `geth`'s own [management APIs](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/rpc/server). - This tool is optional and if you leave it out you can always attach to an already running - `geth` instance with `geth attach`. - -### A Full node on the Görli test network - -Transitioning towards developers, if you'd like to play around with creating Ethereum -contracts, you almost certainly would like to do that without any real money involved until -you get the hang of the entire system. In other words, instead of attaching to the main -network, you want to join the **test** network with your node, which is fully equivalent to -the main network, but with play-Ether only. - -```shell -$ geth --goerli console -``` - -The `console` subcommand has the exact same meaning as above and they are equally -useful on the testnet too. Please, see above for their explanations if you've skipped here. - -Specifying the `--goerli` flag, however, will reconfigure your `geth` instance a bit: - - * Instead of connecting the main Ethereum network, the client will connect to the Görli - test network, which uses different P2P bootnodes, different network IDs and genesis - states. - * Instead of using the default data directory (`~/.ethereum` on Linux for example), `geth` - will nest itself one level deeper into a `goerli` subfolder (`~/.ethereum/goerli` on - Linux). Note, on OSX and Linux this also means that attaching to a running testnet node - requires the use of a custom endpoint since `geth attach` will try to attach to a - production node endpoint by default, e.g., - `geth attach /goerli/geth.ipc`. Windows users are not affected by - this. - -*Note: Although there are some internal protective measures to prevent transactions from -crossing over between the main network and test network, you should make sure to always -use separate accounts for play-money and real-money. Unless you manually move -accounts, `geth` will by default correctly separate the two networks and will not make any -accounts available between them.* - -### Full node on the Rinkeby test network - -Go Ethereum also supports connecting to the older proof-of-authority based test network -called [*Rinkeby*](https://www.rinkeby.io) which is operated by members of the community. - -```shell -$ geth --rinkeby console -``` - -### Full node on the Ropsten test network - -In addition to Görli and Rinkeby, Geth also supports the ancient Ropsten testnet. The -Ropsten test network is based on the Ethash proof-of-work consensus algorithm. As such, -it has certain extra overhead and is more susceptible to reorganization attacks due to the -network's low difficulty/security. - -```shell -$ geth --ropsten console -``` - -*Note: Older Geth configurations store the Ropsten database in the `testnet` subdirectory.* - -### Configuration - -As an alternative to passing the numerous flags to the `geth` binary, you can also pass a -configuration file via: - -```shell -$ geth --config /path/to/your_config.toml -``` - -To get an idea how the file should look like you can use the `dumpconfig` subcommand to -export your existing configuration: - -```shell -$ geth --your-favourite-flags dumpconfig -``` - -*Note: This works only with `geth` v1.6.0 and above.* - -#### Docker quick start - -One of the quickest ways to get Ethereum up and running on your machine is by using -Docker: - -```shell -docker run -d --name ethereum-node -v /Users/alice/ethereum:/root \ - -p 8545:8545 -p 30303:30303 \ - ethereum/client-go -``` - -This will start `geth` in fast-sync mode with a DB memory allowance of 1GB just as the -above command does. It will also create a persistent volume in your home directory for -saving your blockchain as well as map the default ports. There is also an `alpine` tag -available for a slim version of the image. - -Do not forget `--http.addr 0.0.0.0`, if you want to access RPC from other containers -and/or hosts. By default, `geth` binds to the local interface and RPC endpoints is not -accessible from the outside. - -### Programmatically interfacing `geth` nodes - -As a developer, sooner rather than later you'll want to start interacting with `geth` and the -Ethereum network via your own programs and not manually through the console. To aid -this, `geth` has built-in support for a JSON-RPC based APIs ([standard APIs](https://eth.wiki/json-rpc/API) -and [`geth` specific APIs](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/rpc/server)). -These can be exposed via HTTP, WebSockets and IPC (UNIX sockets on UNIX based -platforms, and named pipes on Windows). - -The IPC interface is enabled by default and exposes all the APIs supported by `geth`, -whereas the HTTP and WS interfaces need to manually be enabled and only expose a -subset of APIs due to security reasons. These can be turned on/off and configured as -you'd expect. - -HTTP based JSON-RPC API options: - - * `--http` Enable the HTTP-RPC server - * `--http.addr` HTTP-RPC server listening interface (default: `localhost`) - * `--http.port` HTTP-RPC server listening port (default: `8545`) - * `--http.api` API's offered over the HTTP-RPC interface (default: `eth,net,web3`) - * `--http.corsdomain` Comma separated list of domains from which to accept cross origin requests (browser enforced) - * `--ws` Enable the WS-RPC server - * `--ws.addr` WS-RPC server listening interface (default: `localhost`) - * `--ws.port` WS-RPC server listening port (default: `8546`) - * `--ws.api` API's offered over the WS-RPC interface (default: `eth,net,web3`) - * `--ws.origins` Origins from which to accept websockets requests - * `--ipcdisable` Disable the IPC-RPC server - * `--ipcapi` API's offered over the IPC-RPC interface (default: `admin,debug,eth,miner,net,personal,shh,txpool,web3`) - * `--ipcpath` Filename for IPC socket/pipe within the datadir (explicit paths escape it) - -You'll need to use your own programming environments' capabilities (libraries, tools, etc) to -connect via HTTP, WS or IPC to a `geth` node configured with the above flags and you'll -need to speak [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) on all transports. You -can reuse the same connection for multiple requests! - -**Note: Please understand the security implications of opening up an HTTP/WS based -transport before doing so! Hackers on the internet are actively trying to subvert -Ethereum nodes with exposed APIs! Further, all browser tabs can access locally -running web servers, so malicious web pages could try to subvert locally available -APIs!** - -### Operating a private network - -Maintaining your own private network is more involved as a lot of configurations taken for -granted in the official networks need to be manually set up. - -#### Defining the private genesis state - -First, you'll need to create the genesis state of your networks, which all nodes need to be -aware of and agree upon. This consists of a small JSON file (e.g. call it `genesis.json`): - -```json -{ - "config": { - "chainId": , - "homesteadBlock": 0, - "eip150Block": 0, - "eip155Block": 0, - "eip158Block": 0, - "byzantiumBlock": 0, - "constantinopleBlock": 0, - "petersburgBlock": 0, - "istanbulBlock": 0, - "berlinBlock": 0 - }, - "alloc": {}, - "coinbase": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", - "difficulty": "0x20000", - "extraData": "", - "gasLimit": "0x2fefd8", - "nonce": "0x0000000000000042", - "mixhash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", - "parentHash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", - "timestamp": "0x00" -} -``` - -The above fields should be fine for most purposes, although we'd recommend changing -the `nonce` to some random value so you prevent unknown remote nodes from being able -to connect to you. If you'd like to pre-fund some accounts for easier testing, create -the accounts and populate the `alloc` field with their addresses. - -```json -"alloc": { - "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001": { - "balance": "111111111" - }, - "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002": { - "balance": "222222222" - } -} -``` - -With the genesis state defined in the above JSON file, you'll need to initialize **every** -`geth` node with it prior to starting it up to ensure all blockchain parameters are correctly -set: - -```shell -$ geth init path/to/genesis.json -``` - -#### Creating the rendezvous point - -With all nodes that you want to run initialized to the desired genesis state, you'll need to -start a bootstrap node that others can use to find each other in your network and/or over -the internet. The clean way is to configure and run a dedicated bootnode: - -```shell -$ bootnode --genkey=boot.key -$ bootnode --nodekey=boot.key -``` - -With the bootnode online, it will display an [`enode` URL](https://eth.wiki/en/fundamentals/enode-url-format) -that other nodes can use to connect to it and exchange peer information. Make sure to -replace the displayed IP address information (most probably `[::]`) with your externally -accessible IP to get the actual `enode` URL. - -*Note: You could also use a full-fledged `geth` node as a bootnode, but it's the less -recommended way.* - -#### Starting up your member nodes - -With the bootnode operational and externally reachable (you can try -`telnet ` to ensure it's indeed reachable), start every subsequent `geth` -node pointed to the bootnode for peer discovery via the `--bootnodes` flag. It will -probably also be desirable to keep the data directory of your private network separated, so -do also specify a custom `--datadir` flag. - -```shell -$ geth --datadir=path/to/custom/data/folder --bootnodes= -``` - -*Note: Since your network will be completely cut off from the main and test networks, you'll -also need to configure a miner to process transactions and create new blocks for you.* - -#### Running a private miner - -Mining on the public Ethereum network is a complex task as it's only feasible using GPUs, -requiring an OpenCL or CUDA enabled `ethminer` instance. For information on such a -setup, please consult the [EtherMining subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/) -and the [ethminer](https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer) repository. - -In a private network setting, however a single CPU miner instance is more than enough for -practical purposes as it can produce a stable stream of blocks at the correct intervals -without needing heavy resources (consider running on a single thread, no need for multiple -ones either). To start a `geth` instance for mining, run it with all your usual flags, extended -by: - -```shell -$ geth --mine --miner.threads=1 --miner.etherbase=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -``` - -Which will start mining blocks and transactions on a single CPU thread, crediting all -proceedings to the account specified by `--miner.etherbase`. You can further tune the mining -by changing the default gas limit blocks converge to (`--miner.targetgaslimit`) and the price -transactions are accepted at (`--miner.gasprice`). - -## Contribution - -Thank you for considering to help out with the source code!
