Celestia Dockerized

Requirements

Docker and Docker Compose (Tested on Linux only)

Validator

to run a validator clone this repo on server and cd into it

copy environment file sample to .env and set your configs, if you don't have a wallet already just skip the wallet address for now.

cp .env.sample .env

Initialize configs

docker compose run --rm validator init

Request test token

set your wallet address from previous into .env file , then head to discord and get your test tokens.

Run the validator instance

docker compose up -d validator

wait for your validator to catch up with the rest of network before you proceeding. you can check validator's current info by running this:

docker compose exec validator /opt/helpers.sh validator:sync-info

Create Validator

docker compose exec validator /opt/helpers.sh validator:connect

Bridge Node

To run a bridge node alongside your validator, first run the bridge in foreground to initialize required files,a new wallet is generated automatically:

docker compose up bridge

Using newly generated account

if you want to stick with generated account, write down mnemonic codes somewhere safe, then cancel the process using ctrl+c and run it once again, but this time in background:

docker compose up -d bridge

Using same wallet as validator for bridge node

open a new terminal, copy keys from validators volume to host, then copy it to the bridges volume

docker cp celestia-docker-validator-1:/root/.celestia-app/keyring-test ./keys-backup

docker cp ./keys-backup/. celestia-docker-bridge-1:/root/.celestia-bridge/keys/keyring-test

in .env file change BRIDGE_KEY_RING_ACC_NAME value same as VALIDATOR_WALLET_NAME. kill the foreground bridge process using ctrl+c then run a new instance in background

docker compose up -d bridge
