stand up an Ethereum node on Akash #149

Closed epowell101 closed 1 year ago

epowell101 commented 1 year ago

Let's set up a Eth node running on Akash

  1. Per this documentation, go to their Discord and request some tokens - please establish or use an account that ODC can take over funding of in the future

  1. As an Eth node we will use Erigon https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon

  2. We may be able to run a containerized version of Erigon in this way: https://hub.docker.com/r/thorax/erigon

  3. Here is a dated blog on running a containerized application on Akash: https://medium.com/coinmonks/guide-to-deploying-applications-to-akash-decloud-b35dc97e5ca4

  4. Notify ODC via the eng-general channel on the ODC Discord

    • we will DM you to communicate further

This looks like the preferred configuration using Erigon integrated with trueblocks https://magnushansson.xyz/blog_posts/crypto_defi/2022-01-10-Erigon-Trueblocks it’s a bit old, so verifying through trueblocks discord for an update or modification is in order.

Since we don’t currently have credits with Akash, can we look to a CSP like GCP or AWS to get a working prototype up first and focus on where and who to place the nodes with second?

The process to get credits on Akash is to drop into their discord and ask them for credits. FWIW a few folks there at least know who the OpenData Community is.

and this trueblocks-erigon channel is the main source of truth I think https://discord.com/channels/570963863428661248/934811153899597855

Rene Aavik has been working on the Gitcoin grant that would complete this issue. We can see some of his conversation and work completed so here https://discord.com/channels/747885925232672829/771909909335506955/1091059277868830751 on the Akash discord.

Where do we want the results of his work on getting an Erigon node working on Akash and the infrastructure pricing of the AKT tokens to be documented?

I opened a new issue on that above subject - I am not sure where to put it.

For now I've forked it into my repository: https://gist.github.com/epowell101/6aef4c3b1252922cfba4e563dd6d6ecd
