# Tendermint
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This is a quick start guide. If you have a vague idea about how Tendermint
|
|
works and want to get started right away, continue. Otherwise, [review the
|
|
documentation](http://tendermint.readthedocs.io/en/master/).
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
### Quick Install
|
|
|
|
On a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 machine can be done with [this script](https://git.io/vpgEI), like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -L https://git.io/vpgEI | bash
|
|
source ~/.profile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
WARNING: do not run the above on your local machine.
|
|
|
|
The script is also used to facilitate cluster deployment below.
|
|
|
|
### Manual Install
|
|
|
|
Requires:
|
|
- `go` minimum version 1.10
|
|
- `$GOPATH` environment variable must be set
|
|
- `$GOPATH/bin` must be on your `$PATH` (see https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/wiki/Setting-GOPATH)
|
|
|
|
To install Tendermint, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint
|
|
make get_tools && make get_vendor_deps
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that `go get` may return an error but it can be ignored.
|
|
|
|
Confirm installation:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ tendermint version
|
|
0.18.0-XXXXXXX
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Initialization
|
|
|
|
Running:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tendermint init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will create the required files for a single, local node.
|
|
|
|
These files are found in `$HOME/.tendermint`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ls $HOME/.tendermint
|
|
|
|
config.toml data genesis.json priv_validator.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a single, local node, no further configuration is required.
|
|
Configuring a cluster is covered further below.
|
|
|
|
## Local Node
|
|
|
|
Start tendermint with a simple in-process application:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tendermint node --proxy_app=kvstore
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and blocks will start to stream in:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
I[01-06|01:45:15.592] Executed block module=state height=1 validTxs=0 invalidTxs=0
|
|
I[01-06|01:45:15.624] Committed state module=state height=1 txs=0 appHash=
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check the status with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -s localhost:46657/status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sending Transactions
|
|
|
|
With the kvstore app running, we can send transactions:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -s 'localhost:46657/broadcast_tx_commit?tx="abcd"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and check that it worked with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -s 'localhost:46657/abci_query?data="abcd"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can send transactions with a key and value too:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -s 'localhost:46657/broadcast_tx_commit?tx="name=satoshi"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and query the key:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -s 'localhost:46657/abci_query?data="name"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where the value is returned in hex.
|
|
|
|
## Cluster of Nodes
|
|
|
|
First create four Ubuntu cloud machines. The following was tested on Digital
|
|
Ocean Ubuntu 16.04 x64 (3GB/1CPU, 20GB SSD). We'll refer to their respective IP
|
|
addresses below as IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4.
|
|
|
|
Then, `ssh` into each machine, and execute [this script](https://git.io/vNLfY):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -L https://git.io/vpgEI | bash
|
|
source ~/.profile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will install `go` and other dependencies, get the Tendermint source code, then compile the `tendermint` binary.
|
|
|
|
Next, `cd` into `docs/examples`. Each command below should be run from each node, in sequence:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tendermint node --home ./node0 --proxy_app=kvstore --p2p.persistent_peers="167b80242c300bf0ccfb3ced3dec60dc2a81776e@IP1:46656,3c7a5920811550c04bf7a0b2f1e02ab52317b5e6@IP2:46656,303a1a4312c30525c99ba66522dd81cca56a361a@IP3:46656,b686c2a7f4b1b46dca96af3a0f31a6a7beae0be4@IP4:46656"
|
|
tendermint node --home ./node1 --proxy_app=kvstore --p2p.persistent_peers="167b80242c300bf0ccfb3ced3dec60dc2a81776e@IP1:46656,3c7a5920811550c04bf7a0b2f1e02ab52317b5e6@IP2:46656,303a1a4312c30525c99ba66522dd81cca56a361a@IP3:46656,b686c2a7f4b1b46dca96af3a0f31a6a7beae0be4@IP4:46656"
|
|
tendermint node --home ./node2 --proxy_app=kvstore --p2p.persistent_peers="167b80242c300bf0ccfb3ced3dec60dc2a81776e@IP1:46656,3c7a5920811550c04bf7a0b2f1e02ab52317b5e6@IP2:46656,303a1a4312c30525c99ba66522dd81cca56a361a@IP3:46656,b686c2a7f4b1b46dca96af3a0f31a6a7beae0be4@IP4:46656"
|
|
tendermint node --home ./node3 --proxy_app=kvstore --p2p.persistent_peers="167b80242c300bf0ccfb3ced3dec60dc2a81776e@IP1:46656,3c7a5920811550c04bf7a0b2f1e02ab52317b5e6@IP2:46656,303a1a4312c30525c99ba66522dd81cca56a361a@IP3:46656,b686c2a7f4b1b46dca96af3a0f31a6a7beae0be4@IP4:46656"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that after the third node is started, blocks will start to stream in
|
|
because >2/3 of validators (defined in the `genesis.json`) have come online.
|
|
Seeds can also be specified in the `config.toml`. See [this
|
|
PR](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/792) for more information
|
|
about configuration options.
|
|
|
|
Transactions can then be sent as covered in the single, local node example above.
