One-Click Deploy

After downloading the linera-protocol repository and checking out the testnet branch testnet_conway, you can run scripts/deploy-validator.sh <hostname> to deploy a Linera validator.

For example:

$ git fetch origin
$ git checkout -t origin/testnet_conway
$ scripts/deploy-validator.sh linera.mydomain.com --remote-image

The deployment automatically listens for new image updates and will pull them automatically.

Note: Optionally you can build the image from source by not specifying --remote-image.

The public key and account key will be printed after the command has finished executing, for example:

$ scripts/deploy-validator.sh linera.mydomain.com --remote-image
...
Public Key: 02a580bbda90f0ab10f015422d450b3e873166703af05abd77d8880852a3504e4d,009b2ecc5d39645e81ff01cfe4ceeca5ec207d822762f43b35ef77b2367666a7f8

The public key and account key, in this case beginning with 02a and 009 respectively, must be communicated to the Linera Protocol core team along with the chosen host name for onboarding in the next epoch.

For a more bespoke deployment, refer to the manual installation instructions below.

Note: If you have previously deployed a validator you may need to remove old docker volumes (docker_linera-scylla-data and docker_linera-shared).
