Local Testing Instructions

To set up and run the block fetcher service locally, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd snapshotter-periphery-blockfetcher

2. Create a .env File:

   • Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the necessary environment variables.

   cp .env.example .env

3. Build and Start the Services:

   • Use Docker Compose to build and start the services. The local profile will include the Redis service for local testing.

   docker-compose --profile local up --build

4. Access Logs:

   • Logs are available in the ./logs directory. You can also view logs in real-time using:

   docker-compose logs -f

5. Shut Down the Services:

   • To stop the services, use:

   docker-compose down

Notes

• The local profile includes a Redis service for testing purposes. In production, ensure that your configuration points to an external Redis service.
• Ensure that all necessary environment variables are set in the .env file for the application to function correctly.
