OpenLibra Devnet

Coordination repository for the OpenLibra Devnet.

Follow the instructions below to generate your node keys and commit them to this repository.

NOTE: devnet-0 signups are closed!

Signups for the initial OpenLibra Devnet (devnet-0) are now closed.

If you are interested in participating in a future Devnet, follow the instructions below, placing your peer_info.toml file in the devnet-1 subdirectory.

Note that if you already submitted a peer_info.toml file for devnet-0 it has been carried over and you don't need to resubmit it unless you plan on changing the encryption keys.

How to Join

To join the Devnet, you'll need to do the following

• Install Rust: https://rustup.rs/
  • Note: make sure to source ~/.cargo/env when you're done
• Clone this repository:
  • git clone https://github.com/open-libra/devnet
• Initialize git submodules:
  • git submodule update --init
• Build the OpenLibra CLI utility. From the root of this repo:
  • cargo install --locked --path cli
• Generate your node keys and peer_info.toml (see section below)
• Fork this GitHub repository and commit your peer_info.toml
• Clone and Build Libra Core
• After enrollment is closed, we will generate genesis.blob and other configuration files you can use to join the Devnet.

Generating Validator Config and Keys

After installing the OpenLibra CLI, you can generate node keys by running the following:

$ open-libra config -a 1.2.3.4 -o my-node-config

The open-libra config command accepts the following arguments:

• -a: public IP address to advertise to the network. This is the public IPv4 address of your validator node.
• -o: output path where config should be placed. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created automatically.
• -s: (or --seed, optional): include this validator in the Devnet's global list of seed nodes. Only add this option if you plan to run a highly available validator node with a static IP address.

This command will generate a number of files in the my-node-config:

• node.config.toml: main node configuration file
• consensus_keypair.config.toml: validator consensus keys
• network_keypairs.config.toml: network peer identity keys
• peer_info.toml: public peer information - open a PR with this to join the devnet

Opening a PR with peer_info.toml

• (Optional) edit the file and set description, website_url, and logo_url for your node.
• Rename the peer_info.toml file to mynodename.peer_info.toml
• Place it in the devnet-1/peer_info_files directory to this repo
• Commit the file to this repo
• Open a PR to https://github.com/open-libra/devnet
