Requires

• docker
• docker-compose

How to run

Without changing anything:

git clone 
cd waku-simulator

export NWAKU_IMAGE=statusteam/nim-waku:v0.18.0-rc.0
export NUM_NWAKU_NODES=5
docker-compose up -d

This will:

• spin up grafana/prometheus for monitoring
• spin up a bootstrap nwaku node
• spin up NUM_NWAKU_NODES nwaku nodes
• spin up a waku-publisher instance that will inject traffic into the network (see flags for rate and msg size)

Nodes can be monitored here: http://localhost:3000/d/yns_4vFVk/nwaku-monitoring?orgId=1
