[sBTC DR] create a stable romeo testnet deployment

[radicleart]

Description

The sBTC bridge requires a stable Romeo deployment on testnet.

Context

We've been debugging Romeo against testnet using Romeo instances running from workstations. Moving the romeo engine to a cloud hosted service will enhance testing capabilities and others ability to build against the DR.

Expected Approach

Run romeo on Ubuntu server on Linode / Akamai provider

Acceptance Criteria

Romeo is stable and runs connected to testnet

[AshtonStephens]

Okay, I'll handle this one. I'll likely spin up a google cloud or AWS. @radicleart do you have any input on this

[radicleart]

Hey - yes I span one up today on Ubuntu but it keeps exiting. Not sure why - may need help from someone rust orientated.

[radicleart]

It needs to connect to bitcoin rpc, electrum and stacks node - we had problems using Hiro public test net and tried adding an api key. I ended up running with this config...

{
  "stacks_network": "testnet",
  "bitcoin_network": "testnet",
  "mnemonic": "...",
  "state_directory": "./state",
  "bitcoin_node_url": "http://devnet:devnet@localhost:18332",
  "electrum_node_url": "ssl://blockstream.info:993",
  "stacks_node_url": "http://localhost:3999",
  "contract_name": "asset-1"
}

Romeo logs show the process stopping..

Succesful burn using the sbtc-cli https://explorer.hiro.so/txid/0x3ad33772bb6071b810c27b976e2e9e69ea849ad2494a9307319d77dbc6070fa8?chain=testnet

Asset contract is ST3VA3Y7A2YQ8GW69T0N1ERPAD784R1Y2YHCSNJHH.asset

[friedger]

Are the logs publicly available? @setbern ?

[AshtonStephens]

No, they are not, not yet. I might be able to get that but it'll take a good deal of research.

If anyone knows of an easy way to get logs from a machine on GCP please lmk.

[AshtonStephens]

Oh, but romeo is indeed on testnet. Asset contract is ST3ACFZ2XKFPKAFD9YY92ZP0Y4QN6MTX3H20C27NY.asset. Now comes the "stable" part.

Romeo automatically takes updates from blockstack/sbtc:sbtc-release so when we get updates we can automatically consume them.

[friedger]

Nice. How does the update work? Could you add some info to sbtc-docs?

[radicleart]

Great stuff - can i point sBTC bridge to this contract ?
