Binary Nimbus beacon_node distribution

This binary distribution was created from https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2

Tarball naming scheme: "nimbus-eth2_Linux_amd64__.tar.gz" (the date is in UTC).

Reproducing the build

Besides the generic build requirements, you also need Docker.

git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2.git
cd nimbus-eth2
git checkout GIT_COMMIT
make update
make dist

No -march=native and no metrics support.

With default options:

./run_medalla_node.sh

Change options implemented as shell variables inside the script:

LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG BASE_PORT=9100 ./run_medalla_node.sh

Add arbitrary beacon_node parameters (yes, you can combine this with env vars):

./run_medalla_node.sh --log-level=DEBUG --rpc-port=9290
