Deployment tools of BSC

Installation

Before proceeding to the next steps, please ensure that the following packages and softwares are well installed in your local machine:

• nodejs: 12.18.3
• npm: 6.14.6
• go: 1.18+
• foundry
• python3
• poetry
• jq

If you would setup nodes on k8s environment, the following packages and softwares are necessary:

• helm: 3.9.4
• minikube: 1.29.0
• docker: 20.10.22
• kubectl: 1.26.1

Quick Start

1. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/bnb-chain/node-deploy.git

2. For the first time, please execute the following command

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Make geth, bootnode binary files, and put them into bin/ folder.

git clone https://github.com/bnb-chain/bsc.git
cd bsc && make geth
go build -o ./build/bin/bootnode ./cmd/bootnode

cp ./build/bin/geth ../bin/geth
cp ./build/bin/bootnode ../bin/bootnode

4. Configure the cluster

  You can configure the cluster by modifying the following files:
   - `config.toml`
   - `genesis/genesis-template.json`
   - `.env`

5. Setup all nodes. two different ways, choose as you like.

#native deploy without docker
bash -x ./start_cluster.sh reset # will reset the cluster and start
bash -x ./start_cluster.sh stop  # only stop the cluster
bash -x ./start_cluster.sh start # only start the cluster
bash -x ./start_cluster.sh restart # start the cluster after stopping it

#on k8s environment
minikube start
bash -x ./start_cluster.sh install_k8s
kubectl -n bsc port-forward svc/bsc-node-0 8545:8545

6. Setup a full node. If you want to run a full node to test snap/full syncing, you can run:

Attention: it relies on the validator cluster, so you should set up validators by start_cluster.sh first.

# start a full sync node0
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh start 0 full
# start a snap sync node1
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh start 1 snap
# restart the snap sync node1
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh restart 1 snap
# stop the snap sync node1
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh stop 1 snap
# clean the snap sync node1
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh clean 1 snap
# start a snap sync node as fast node
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh start 2 snap "--tries-verify-mode none"
# start a snap sync node with prune ancient
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh start 3 snap "--pruneancient"
# start pruneblock for a node
bash +x ./start_fullnode.sh pruneblock 3 snap

You can see the logs in .local/bsc/fullnode.

Generally, you need to wait for the validator to produce a certain amount of blocks before starting the full/snap syncing test, such as 1000 blocks.

Background transactions

## normal tx
cd txbot
go build
./air-drops

## blob tx
cd txblob
go build
./txblob

Register validators in StakeHub(Optional)

After bc-fusion, the governance feature is transferred to bsc from bc, so register the validators into StakeHub if trying to test the governance.

cd create-validator

go build

switch the flag

needRegister=true
