4) Initial Instance Configurations
Configure instances after launching playbooks.
1) Return to root folder of the deployment-playbooks repository
cd ..
2) Copy your ssh public key (replace id_rsa.pub with correct name)
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub > files/admins.pubcp files/admins.pub files/ssh_validator.pubcp files/admins.pub files/ssh_bootnode.pubcp files/admins.pub files/ssh_moc.pub
3) Edit group_vars/all.yml.network file
Replace value of
GENESIS_NETWORK_NAMEwith name of the networkreplace value of
MOC_ADDRESSwith address of MoC that you generated(optionally) replace value of
BLK_GAS_LIMITto increase/decrease default block gas limit
The following instances will be configured one-by-one. For each instance you will:
Create the ansible configuration file using an example file. It will be copied to group_vars/all.yml
Edit the newly created all.yml file with necessary parameters
Create a hosts file with the correct instance and ip address
Launch the playbook for that instance.
Repeat for the next instance.
1) Create the ansible configuration file for netstat node
cat group_vars/all.yml.network group_vars/netstat.yml.example > group_vars/all.yml
2) Edit group_vars/all.yml
Replace value of
NETSTATS_SECRETwith the secret password for netstat server
3) In the base directory , create a hosts file with the following content, replacing 1.2.3.4 with IP address previously generated for the netstat server.
[netstat]1.2.3.4​[ubuntu]1.2.3.4
4) Launch the playbook, it should complete without errors
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
Open http://1.2.3.4:3000 - you should see an empty dashboard similar to https://core-netstat.poa.network/​
1) Create ansible configuration file for moc node
cat group_vars/all.yml.network group_vars/moc.yml.example > group_vars/all.yml
2) Edit group_vars/all.yml and change values of the following parameters
NODE_FULLNAME- this name will be displayed in netstat dashboard, e.g. "Master of Ceremony"NODE_ADMIN_EMAIL- this email will also be displayed in netstat dashboard, e.g. "moc@example.com"NETSTATS_SERVER- insert url http://NETSTAT_IP:3000 of the netstat serverNETSTATS_SECRET- network secret, same as for netstat serverMOC_KEYPASS- password for json keystore file of MoC nodeMOC_KEYFILE- here you should include full json string of the keystore file, enclosed in single quotes'{"version":3,...}'
3) Create hosts file with the following content, replacing 1.2.3.4 with IP address previously generated for the moc server.
[moc]1.2.3.4​[ubuntu]1.2.3.4
4) Launch the playbook, it should complete without errors
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
1) Create ansible configuration file for bootnode
cat group_vars/all.yml.network group_vars/bootnode.yml.example > group_vars/all.yml
2) Edit group_vars/all.yml and change values of:
NODE_FULLNAME- this name will be displayed in netstat dashboard, e.g. "Bootnode"NODE_ADMIN_EMAIL- this email will also be displayed in netstat dashboard, e.g. "bootnode@example.com"NETSTATS_SERVER- insert url http://NETSTAT_IP:3000 of the netstat serverNETSTATS_SECRET- network secret, same as for netstat server
3) Create hosts file with the following content, replacing 1.2.3.4 with IP address previously generated for the bootnode server.
[bootnode]1.2.3.4​[ubuntu]1.2.3.4
4) Launch the playbook, it should complete without errors.
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
1) Create ansible configuration file
cat group_vars/all.yml.network group_vars/validator.yml.example > group_vars/all.yml
2) Edit group_vars/all.yml and change values:
NODE_FULLNAME- this name will be displayed in netstat dashboard, e.g. "Validator"NODE_ADMIN_EMAIL- this email will also be displayed in netstat dashboard, e.g. "validator@example.com"NETSTATS_SERVER- insert url http://NETSTAT_IP:3000 of the netstat serverNETSTATS_SECRET- network secret, same as for netstat serverMINING_KEYFILE- content of validator's json keystore file, enclosed in single quotesMINING_ADDRESS- validator address0x...MINING_KEYPASS- password for the keystore file
3) Create hosts file with the following content, substituting the correct ip addresses of validator servers.
[validator]1.2.3.4​[ubuntu]1.2.3.4
4) Launch the playbook, it should complete without errors.
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
5) Repeat the process for each validator node - editing the all.yml and hosts file with updated info.
This is required to proceed to the next step where you will create a new state.
Login to each of the following nodes
MoC
Bootnode
Validators (3x) and do the following:
1) Stop parity service
sudo systemctl stop poa-parity
2) Erase parity data folder
sudo rm -rf /home/ROLE/parity_data/{network,cache,chains} /home/ROLE/logs/parity.log
replacing ROLE with moc/bootnode/validator respectively
To ensure services are properly shut down, you can check service status with sudo systemctl status <servicename>
You should now have bootstrapped configuration files. Next: Reconfigure Instances​
