Metis Andromeda Replica

You may not need this, you can use our public rpc.

It retrives data from L2 nodes, and no blocks lag behind.

Required

docker
docker-compose(version 2.x is required)

Recommended hardware specification

RAM: 8 GB

CPU: 4 core CPU

Storage: Minimum 100GB SSD (make sure it is extendable)

Setup a replica node

clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ericlee42/metis-replica-node-guide

Change config

cp docker-compose-mainnet.yml docker-compose.yml

you should change DATA_TRANSPORT_LAYER__L1_RPC_ENDPOINT environment variable in the docker-compose.yml, it's your Ethereum mainnnet rpc endpoint(You can use infura public serivce).

Optional: change volumes

By default, replica node creates a chaindata directory in the current directory. You can change the volumes configuration in your compose file to customize the storage directory.

start the dtl service

docker-compose up -d dtl

If you get this log below, it means the start-up was successful

$ docker-compose logs --tail=10 dtl

Start proxy server

docker-compose up -d proxy

Proxy server is responsible for forwarding traffic to local replica and sequencer node

default timeout is 5s, you can change -timeout command argument to a bigger one.
