accounts

create geth --datadir=/some/dir account new

or import from priv key geth --datadir=/some/dir account import /path/to/file/with/priv/key

then see /some/dir/keystore

bootnode

need white ip, entrypoint for other nodes to find peers

connect to local node in container

docker exec -it node_node_1 sh geth attach

clique signing rules

https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/tools/clef/clique-signing#using-rules

Steps

1. create accounts for signers

geth account new or geth account import for existing private key

2. create genesis file

python make-genesis.py <initial amount> 0xSigner1 0xSigner2 > genesis.json

example python make-genesis.py 1000000000000000000000000 0xaaaa6d95c09be8b2f79a68d75d2dd082ed310b88 0xbbba47970357430f913a5c541ef9e16687b0f1e3 0xccc8bf2a199d544220e8301d42acd4427c44f665 > genesis.json

3. run bootnode

on server 1: git clone https://github.com/pumpurum2/privchain.git

generate or copy genesis.json to privchain dir

create node/.env (see .env.example):

cd privchain/bootnode

docker-compose up -d

see enode in docker storage in enode file

or attach geth and run:

admin.nodeInfo.enode

enode will be needed to setup other nodes

3. run n nodes

on server n:

git clone https://github.com/pumpurum2/privchain.git

generate or copy genesis.json to privchain dir

copy keyfile.json somewhere on server

write to node/.password password for keyfile

create node/.env (see .env.example):

cd privchain/node

docker-compose up -d

remove node/.password

4. run rpc node

on server n+2:

git clone https://github.com/pumpurum2/privchain.git

generate or copy genesis.json to privchain dir

create rpcnode/.env (see .env.example):

cd privchain/rpcnode

docker-compose up -d
