This role provisions a nimbus-eth1 installation that is ETH1 client.

The service exposes five ports by default:

• 30303 - DevP2P peering port. Must ALWAYS be public.
• 8545 - Combo HTTP port (JSON RPC, Websocket RPC, Graphql). Must NEVER be public.
• 8550 - Engine API HTTP port. Must NEVER be public.
• 9093 - Prometheus metrics port. Should not be public.

Add to your requirements.yml file:

- name: infra-role-nimbus-eth1
  src: [email protected]:status-im/infra-role-nimbus-eth1.git
  scm: git

The crucial settings are:

# branch which should be built
nimbus_eth1_repo_branch: 'master'
# ethereum network to connect to
nimbus_eth1_network: 'mainnet'
# increase maximum number of peers
nimbus_eth1_max_peers: 160
# optional setting for debug mode
nimbus_eth1_log_level: 'DEBUG'

Assuming the master branch was built you can manage the service with:

systemctl start nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master
systemctl status nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master
systemctl stop nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master

You can view logs under:

tail -f /data/nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master/logs/service.log

The service will store all data in the /data/nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master/data directory.

A timer will be installed to build the image:

systemctl list-timers 'build-nimbus-eth1-*'

To rebuild the image:

systemctl start build-nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master.service

To check build logs use:

journalctl -u build-nimbus-eth1-mainnet-master.service
