# mainnet-eth

Mainnet Ethereum stack (experimental)
Deploys a "head-tracking" mainnet Ethereum stack comprising a [go-ethereum](https://github.com/cerc-io/go-ethereum) execution layer node and a [lighthouse](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse) consensus layer node.

## Clone required repositories

```
$ laconic-so --stack mainnet-eth setup-repositories
```

## Build the fixturenet-eth containers
## Build containers

```
$ laconic-so --stack mainnet-eth build-containers
```

This should create several container images in the local image registry:

* cerc/go-ethereum
* cerc/lighthouse
* cerc/fixturenet-eth-geth
* cerc/fixturenet-eth-lighthouse

## Create a deployment

```
$ laconic-so --stack mainnet-eth deploy create
$ laconic-so --stack mainnet-eth deploy init --output mainnet-eth-spec.yml
$ laconic-so deploy create --spec-file mainnet-eth-spec.yml --deployment-dir mainnet-eth-deployment
```
## Start the stack
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir mainnet-eth-deployment start
```
Display stack status:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir mainnet-eth-deployment ps

```
## Monitoring stack sync progress
Both go-ethereum and lighthouse will engage in an initial chain sync phase that will last up to several hours depending on hardware performance and network capacity.
Syncing can be monitored by looking for these log messages:
```
Jul 24 12:34:17.001 INFO Downloading historical blocks est_time: 5 days 11 hrs, speed: 14.67 slots/sec, distance: 6932481 slots (137 weeks 3 days), service: slot_notifier

```
Once synced up these log messages will be observed:
```

```


## Clean up

Stop all services running in the background:

```bash
$ laconic-so deployment --dir <directory> down
Stop the stack:
```

Clear volumes created by this stack:

```bash
# List all relevant volumes
$ docker volume ls -q --filter "name=.*fixturenet_eth_bootnode_geth_data|.*fixturenet_eth_geth_1_data|.*fixturenet_eth_geth_2_data|.*fixturenet_eth_lighthouse_1_data|.*fixturenet_eth_lighthouse_2_data"

# Remove all the listed volumes
$ docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q --filter "name=.*fixturenet_eth_bootnode_geth_data|.*fixturenet_eth_geth_1_data|.*fixturenet_eth_geth_2_data|.*fixturenet_eth_lighthouse_1_data|.*fixturenet_eth_lighthouse_2_data")
$ laconic-so deployment --dir mainnet-eth-deployment stop
```
This leaves data volumes in place, allowing the stack to be subsequently re-started.
To permanently *delete* the stack's data volumes run:
```
$ laconic-so deployment --dir mainnet-eth-deployment stop --delete-data-volumes
```
After deleting the volumes, any subsequent re-start will begin chain sync from cold.
## Data volumes
Container data volumes are bind-mounted to specified paths in the host filesystem.
The default setup (generated by `laconic-so deploy init`) places the volumes in the `./data` subdirectory of the deployment directory:
```
$ cat mainnet-eth-spec.yml
stack: mainnet-eth
volumes:
mainnet_eth_config_data: ./data/mainnet_eth_config_data
mainnet_eth_geth_1_data: ./data/mainnet_eth_geth_1_data
mainnet_eth_lighthouse_1_data: ./data/mainnet_eth_lighthouse_1_data
```
A synced-up stack will consume around 900GB of data volume space:
```
$ sudo du -h mainnet-eth-deployment/data/
150M mainnet-eth-deployment/data/mainnet_eth_lighthouse_1_data/beacon/freezer_db
