Aurora Relayer & Near Core on mainnet

Requirements: docker, docker-compose, curl. x64-64 architecture.

1. Run $ ./setup.sh. Wait until it finishes with "Setup Complete". This can take hours due to the volume of data to download.
2. Enjoy

Testnet

Run $ ./setup.sh testnet to install a testnet instead of mainnet release.

Starting & Stopping

When running ./setup.sh you should end up with a running node that is catching up with the network. You can always stop and start the node by executing the ./stop.sh or ./start.sh command.

Write transactions & custom signers

The default installation does not support write transactions. Instead it disables writing and sets up a placeholder key.

To enable write transactions, you need to:

• Create an account on testnet/mainnet and load some NEAR on it.
• Export the account's keypair and name into config/relayer.json (check the original file for format).
• Change the signer entry in the config/testnet.yaml or config/mainnet.yaml to the account's name.
• Set writable:true in config/testnet.yaml or config/mainnet.yaml.
• Restart the endpoint container.

Updates

The software in this installation is updated automatically. Whenever Aurora releases a new image, it will be downloaded, and the component restarted.

This is however not true for the included database and chain files. These are only downloaded initially when running ./setup.sh. Keep your node running to prevent going out of sync.

Finding RPC endpoint

The RPC endpoint is at http://127.0.0.1:10080/ as well as on the public IPs of your computer.

Good to know

• You can change the setup of the nginx reverse proxy by editing the contrib/nginx//endpoint.conf files. Restart the node afterwards.
• You can prevent listening on the public IP by modifying the docker-compose.yaml file. See embedded comments.

Changes

v2.0

• Change naming scheme for docker images to make reuse easier.
• Add scaling of endpoints for better performance.
• Add reverse proxy for easier deployment and more stable operations.
• Add automatic update functionality.
