# Description
This role provisions a [Nimbus](https://nimbus.team/) [Fluffy](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1/tree/master/fluffy) Eth1 node.
# Introduction
The role will:
* Checkout a branch from the [nimbus-eth1](https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth1) repo
* Build it using the [`build.sh`](./templates/build.sh.j2) Bash script
* Schedule regular builds using [Systemd timers](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html)
* Start a node by defining a [Systemd service](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html)
# Ports
The service exposes three ports by default:
* `9009` - DevP2P UDP peering port. Must __ALWAYS__ be public.
* `9200` - Prometheus metrics port. Should not be public.
* `9900` - JSON RPC port. Must __NEVER__ be public.
# Installation
Add to your `requirements.yml` file:
```yaml
- name: infra-role-nimbus-fluffy
src: git+git@github.com:status-im/infra-role-nimbus-fluffy.git
scm: git
```
# Configuration
The crucial settings are:
```yaml
# branch which should be built
nimbus_fluffy_repo_branch: 'master'
# ethereum network to connect to
nimbus_fluffy_network: 'mainnet'
# optional setting for debug mode
nimbus_fluffy_log_level: 'DEBUG'
```
# Management
## Service
Assuming the `stable` branch was built you can manage the service with:
```sh
sudo systemctl start nimbus-fluffy-master
sudo systemctl status nimbus-fluffy-master
sudo systemctl stop nimbus-fluffy-master
```
You can view logs under:
```sh
tail -f /data/nimbus-fluffy-master/logs/service.log
```
All node data is located in `/data/nimbus-fluffy-master/data`.
## Builds
A timer will be installed to build the image:
```sh
> sudo systemctl list-units --type=service '*nimbus-fluffy-*'
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
nimbus-fluffy-master.service loaded active running Nimbus Eth1 Fluffy node (master)
nimbus-fluffy-debug.service loaded active running Nimbus Eth1 Fluffy node (debug)
```
To rebuild the image:
```sh
> sudo systemctl start build-nimbus-fluffy-master
> sudo systemctl status build-nimbus-fluffy-master
