Description

This role configures a Erigon Docker container.

The image used is the official thorax/erigon.

Configuration

Some important settings are:

erigon_network_name: 'mainnet'
erigon_service_name: 'erigon-{{ erigon_network_name }}'
erigon_log_level: 'debug'

It is also quite important to enable the right APIs for the right hostnames:

erigon_rcp_api: 'eth,net,erigon,admin,engine'
erigon_rpc_extra_vhost: 'erigon.example.org'

One notable difference from other execution layer clients is use of multiple ports:

erigon_port: 30303
erigon_p2p_allowed_ports: [30303, 30304, 30305, 30306, 30307]

By default we create a Consul service definition:

erigon_consul_enabled: true
erigon_consul_extra_tags: ['my-cute-erigon']

For the rest see the defaults/main.yml config file.

Management

The container is created and managed with Docker Compose:

admin@erigon-01.aws-eu-central-1a.rocket.prod:/docker/erigon-rocketpool-mainnet % docker-compose ps
          Name                         Command               State                               Ports
