Run servers from local binary

Prerequisites

When deploying with polybft consensus, there are some additional dependencies:

• go 1.20.x
• jq
• curl

Local development

Running polygon-edge from local binary can be done very easily by using provided scripts folder.

• scripts/cluster ibft - deploy environment with ibft consensus
• scripts/cluster polybft - deploy environment with polybft consensus

Customization

Use scripts/cluster script to customize chain parameters. It already has some default parameters, which can be easily modified. These are the genesis parameters from the official docs.

Primarily, the --premine parameter needs to be edited (createGenesis function) to include the accounts that the user has access to.

Considerations

Live console

The servers are run in foreground, meaning that the terminal console that is running the script must remain active. To stop the servers - Ctrl/Cmd + C. To interact with the chain use another terminal or run a dockerized environment by following the instructions in docker/README.md.

Production

This is NOT a production ready deployment. It is to be used in development / test environments only. For production usage, please check out the official docs.
