How to run

git clone https://github.com/waku-org/waku-simulator.git
cd waku-simulator

Configure the simulation parameters. You can place the env variable in an .env file.

docker-compose up -d

This will:

spin up a bootstrap nwaku node.
spin up a given amount of nwaku nodes with specific versions.
spin up a rest-traffic instance that will inject traffic into the network (see flags for rate and msg size)

docker-compose --compatibility up -d
