This means that we can no longer do "docker run" locally, so we compile a local beacon_node with the same flags as the container one.
Work in progress. Things may and probably will break for the foreseeable future. Do not rely on this for anything.
Connecting to Testnet
To connect to a short-lived testnet we may or may not have running at the moment, use the connect_to_testnet script like so:
scripts/connect_to_testnet.sh testnet0
Running your own testnet
The beacon_node binary has a createTestnet command.
nim c -r beacon_chain/beacon_node \
--data-dir=$NETWORK_DIR/data \
createTestnet \
--validators-dir=$NETWORK_DIR \
--total-validators=$VALIDATOR_COUNT \
--last-user-validator=$LAST_USER_VALIDATOR \
--output-genesis=$NETWORK_DIR/genesis.ssz \
--output-bootstrap-file=$NETWORK_DIR/bootstrap_nodes.txt \
--bootstrap-address=$PUBLIC_IP \
--genesis-offset=600 # Delay in seconds
Replace ENV vars with values that make sense to you.
