Network Management

This directory contains scripts useful for working with a test network. It's intended to be both dev and CD friendly.

User Account Prerequisites

Log in to GCP with:

$ gcloud auth login

Also ensure that $(whoami) is the name of an InfluxDB user account with enough access to create a new database.

You currently must be running on a Linux system (for now, TODO fix this)

Quick Start

$ cd net/

$ ./gce.sh create -n 5 -c 1  #<-- Create a GCE testnet with 5 validators, 1 client (billing starts here)
$ ./init-metrics $(whoami)   #<-- Configure a metrics database for the testnet
$ ./net.sh start             #<-- Deploy the network from the local workspace
$ ./ssh.sh                   #<-- Details on how to ssh into any testnet node
$ ./gce.sh delete            #<-- Dispose of the network (billing stops here)
