run_nodes.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script runs locally aleph-node consensus, ie set of aleph-node processes that are either
# validators (create blocks) or RPC nodes (read only nodes). By default, such consensus consist of
# one RPC node that is a bootnode, and 6 validator nodes.
#
# Before run, a chainspec is generated that is an initial testing AlephZero chain configuration,
# that is a starting point for all aleph-nodes. Together with the chainspec, we generate a keystore
# that consist of two types of keys:
#   * two session keys for each validator (one for authoring blocks called AURA key and one for
#     participating in AlephBFT consensus called ALEPH key)
#   * one key for participating in P2P network called p2p key
# The keystore is stored in a filesystem altogether with database, and this is called base path.
# Optionally, script can build testing aleph-node binary for you (short session meaning 30 blocks
# instead of normal 900 blocks session).
#
# Each validator has also an associated account on chain called Stash Account which is used for
# staking. For simplicity, such accounts seeds are generated from cardinal numbers //0, //1, //2, ...
# We assume RPC nodes have ids //0, //1, //2, ... //N-1, where N is number of RPC nodes, and
# validators have ids //N, //N+1, ...
# Obviously, this is just for testing reasons and such seeds must be never used in production.
# Also, each AlephNode chain has sudo account. Here we assume it is //Alice.
#
# Make sure a machine on which you're running your script has enough RAM memory. For testing nodes
# with empty db, a 1.5 GB per node would be enough.
#
# They are 3 set of ports you need to have opened and free on your machine in order to run consensus:
#  * RPC port - range [9944; 9954) - used for JSON RPC protocol
#  * P2p port - range [30333; 30343) - used for P2P peer network
#  * Validator port - range [30343; 30353) - used for consensus mechanism (AlephBFT)
#
# You need to have installed following prerequisites in order to use that script:
#   * jq
#
# This script also accepts env variables instead of arguments, see --help for details. All arguments
# are optional.
