Deploy a rollup node

Learn how to run a node for the B2.

System Requirements

hardware requirements

  • CPUs: 16 vCPUs

  • RAM: 32 GB

  • Storage: 1 TB NVMe Storage

  • 100MBps bidirectional internet connection

You can run B2 on lower-spec hardware, but you may find that it is not highly performant or prone to crashing.

software requirements

OS:As long as Docker Engine can be installed, the operating system will suffice.

Pre-install

Install Docker

Please refer to the Install Docker Engine

Install Docker-compose

First, Create the b2-node directory. the $PWD variable specifies the absolute path which you want.

mkdir -p $PWD/b2-node/data
cd $PWD/b2-node
wget -O ./data/db.tar.gz  https://download.bsquared.network/db.tar.gz
tar -zxvf ./data/db.tar.gz -C ./data/

Download the genesis file to $PWD/b2-node/data.

wget -O ./data/rollup.json https://download.bsquared.network/mainnet/rollup.json
wget -O ./data/genesis.json https://download.bsquared.network/mainnet/genesis.json

Generate JWT Secret, The HTTP connection between your beacon node and execution node needs to be authenticated using a JWT token. This is the way to generate jwt secret by openssl.

apk add openssl
openssl rand -hex 32 > ./data/jwt.txt

Setup B2 Node

Create a docker-compose.yaml file and mount the data directory and json files which downloaded above.

Now, All preparations are complete, and the data directory structure is as follow:

tree -L 3
.
├── data
│   ├── db
│   │   ├── geth
│   │   └── keystore
│   ├── db.tar.gz
│   ├── genesis.json
│   ├── jwt.txt
│   └── rollup.json
└── docker-compose.yml

The next step is to start the service.

Start The Node

docker-compose up -d

Block synchronization takes some time, please wait patiently. After some while,can check the syncing process by below command:

curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' http://localhost:8545 | jq '.result'

The block will catch up to the latest block once the request returns false.

# curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","params":[],"id":1}' http://localhost:8545 | jq '.result'
false
