Workshop Setup

With these instructions you can set up a Codex node on your machine, to use during the workshop. If you run into trouble and need help, ask a nearby Codexer!

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter.git

2. Use the local network wifi

Switch to the workshop wifi:

  • SSID: codex
  • Password: ethcc2024

3. Open a terminal

Open a terminal in the /scripts folder:

cd scripts
chmod +x *.sh # make the scripts executable

📢 Windows users

If you are using a native Windows environment, and not a *nix-like environment (eg CYGWIN/MINGW/MSYS/MINGW), use the scripts/windows directory.

4. Download Codex

Run download script:

./download.sh

5. Generate an ETH key-pair

Run generate script:

./generate.sh

# Generating private key...
#  * your private key has been saved to /Users/egonat/repos/codex-storage/codex-testnet-starter/scripts/eth.key
#  * your ethereum address is 1b54dd8d3b45b419091821c7c47a36e014b8db79

📢 Don't lose your generated address

Take note of the generated address in the output so you can use it to mint tokens later.

6. Start Codex node

Run the run_client script:

./run_client.sh

# LOCAL IP: 192.168.50.45
# INF 2024-06-25 16:32:25.410+10:00 Creating a private key and saving it       tid=25484256
# INF 2024-06-25 16:32:25.414+10:00 Discovery SPR initialized                  topics="discv5"
# ...

📢 Check your IP

Check that your LOCAL IP in the output is correct, and if not, re-run the script with the LOCALIP environment variable:

LOCALIP=192.168.88.46 ./run_client.sh

7. Acquire tokens

You can acquire tokens in one of two ways: the testnet faucets or the Discord bot.

Faucets

You will need both ETH and TST to use Codex:

  1. Get some testnet ETH using https://faucet-eth.testnet.codex.storage.
  2. Get some testnet TST using https://faucet-tst.testnet.codex.storage.

Discord bot

  • Join the Codex discord server: https://discord.gg/codex-storage.
  • Go to the "bot" channel, in the category "codex-bot".
  • Use /set command to enter your generated address.
  • Use /mint command to receive some tokens.

8. Use Codex

Setup complete! 🥳 You can now proceed to use your Codex node. Follow the instructions 🐇
