Running Instructions

Network configuration

Edit networkConfig.json file within scripts/assets folder accordingly to the following desired network parameters:

• name: the name of the network
• id: network id to be used
• nodes: number of nodes

{
  "name": "Clique-Network",
  "id": 123,
  "nodes": 4
}

Generate network setup

In the terminal run the script 0-generate-network-setup.sh.

Run bootnode

In the terminal run the script 1-run-bootnode.sh.

Run nodes

In another terminal run the script 2-run-nodes.sh.

Check number of peers

In another terminal run the following command:

curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"net_peerCount","params":[],"id":1}' localhost:8545 --silent | jq

Where you should have a similar output to:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x3"
}

where the result is the number of additional nodes other than the bootnode.

Future works

• Dockerize the entire network architecture.
