Intro

Run with Docker Compose​

You can (preferably) use docker to run the system. Instructions for building from source is provided in the next section.

Install Docker:​

Follow the docker install instructions for your platform/architecture.

Onboarding instructions will be based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS x86_64 / amd64.

Install direnv:

sudo apt update
sudo apt get direnv

# bash users - add the following line to your ~/.bashrc
eval "$(direnv hook bash)"
source ~/.bashrc

# zsh users - add the following line to your ~/.zshrc
eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
source ~/.zshrc

Clone and Set Env Vars​

  1. Clone the covalenthq/rudder repo.

    git clone https://github.com/covalenthq/rudder
    cd rudder
    cat docker-compose-mbase.yml

  2. Check global environment variables

    $ cat .envrc

    export IPFS_PINNER_URL="http://127.0.0.1:3001"
    export EVM_SERVER_URL="http://127.0.0.1:3002"

    [[ -f .envrc.local ]] && source_env .envrc.local

    Note: .envrc.local overrides any env vars set with .envrc on calling direnv allow .

  3. Set local environment variables.

    $ touch .envrc.local

    export BLOCK_RESULT_OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY="BRP-OPERATOR-PK-WITHOUT-0x-PREFIX"
    export NODE_ETHEREUM_MAINNET="<<ASK-ON-DISCORD>>"
    export IPFS_PINNER_URL="http://ipfs-pinner:3001"
    export EVM_SERVER_URL="http://evm-server:3002"
    export WEB3_JWT="<<WEB3.STORAGE-API-TOKEN>>"
Note: When passing the private key into the env vars as above please remove the 0x prefix so the private key env var has exactly 64 characters.

  • BLOCK_RESULT_OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY: Your personal Block Result Producer (BRP) operator private key.

  • WEB3_JWT: Your personal web3.storage API token used by the ipfs-pinner service.

  • IPFS_PINNER_URL: Service (ipfs-pinner) used by Rudder to access IPFS assets like Block Specimens (the service is automatically invoked and run with the in-repo Docker compose files, e.g., docker-compose-mbase.yml).

  • EVM_SERVER_URL: Service (evm-server) used by Rudder for stateless execution of Block Specimens into indexable (queryable) Block Results.

Start Services​

Load env vars into the shell.

$ direnv allow .

# make sure you see these being loaded
direnv: loading ~/rudder/.envrc
direnv: loading ~/rudder/.envrc.local
direnv: export +BLOCK_RESULT_OPERATOR_PRIVATE_KEY +ERIGON_NODE +EVM_SERVER_URL +IPFS_PINNER_URL +NODE_ETHEREUM_MAINNET +WEB3_JWT

Start all 3 services in the background for Moonbase alpha

```bash 
$ docker compose -f "docker-compose-mbase.yml" up -d --remove-orphans
