SP Stack Automation

What this automation is planning to do

Automation of lotus-daemon, lotus-miner and boost installation and configuration. This is meant to be a single server deployment for starting storage providers using sealing-as-a-service.

The various steps are split out into separate scripts. This allows steps to be rerun upon failure and for additional scripts to be added.

This installer is built for Ubuntu Server LTS (minimal version 20.04).

High level overview of the tasks

Installation of the software prerequisites for Lotus Daemon, Lotus Miner and Boost.
Automation of installation of lotus-daemon, lotus-miner and boost.
Import latest chain snapshot
Initialize lotus-daemon and create wallets
Initialize lotus-miner
Install and configure Boostd
Install and configure Booster-HTTP, exposed via Nginx reverse proxy

Assumptions

You have read the storage provider documentation: https://docs.filecoin.io/storage-provider
Everything runs under a single user. Run the installer script as the non-root user under which you want Lotus to run. This user needs sudo permissions.
Lotus-daemon, lotus-miner, boostd and booster-http are installed on a single machine.
Use Sealing-as-a-Service or add a sealing worker to your setup.

Prerequisites

You will need access to some FIL (unless you build for calibration testnet).
Have Ubuntu Server installed (headless) with NVIDIA-drivers and CUDA if you have an NVIDIA GPU. You will need a GPU for storage proving! Verify your drivers with the command nvidia-smi.
You will need 1 fixed internal IP for the services, 1 external IP and 2 external ports for public reachability.

Getting started

    git clone https://github.com/ng-solutions-architecture/lotus-automation.git
    cd lotus-automation
    git checkout latest

edit the variables file to match your environment

    ./cleanup.sh
