bsc-docker-deploy

Deploy a local cluster of BSC validators using Docker.

Steps to run

• If the keys/ directory is empty , run the following command to generate a new set of keys for the validators:

  bash setup_keys.sh generate

  You can view the generated keys with:

  bash setup_keys.sh view

• Initialize the BSC, Beacon Chain, and bsc-genesis-contract repositories:

  bash init_submodules.sh

• Build these repositories:

  bash build_submodules.sh
  

  To try new features you can checkout different branches of these repositories and rebuild.

• Generate genesis.json:

  bash generate_genesis.sh

  This will generate the genesis file with all 5 authorities as validators. If you want a custom number of validators (up to 5) you can pass the number as an argument. E.g.

  bash generate_genesis.sh 3

  This will register 3 validators: Alice , Bob and Charlie.

• Build the docker image:

  bash docker_build.sh

• Run the cluster:

  docker-compose up

  This will run all 5 validators.

  If you want to run certain validators (e.g. Alice, Charlie and Eve) you can pass the names as arguments to docker compose:

  docker-compose up alice charlie eve
