- use a Debian Bullseye image - use the distro's packages whenever possible - cache as much as possible of the Git repos and tool binaries locally - restrict Docker image pushing to specific branches; no build restrictions, to allow for easy development
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.
