Node Ops

Initial Setup

Run base regen_config.sh and bash create_dirs.sh to initialize the JWT token & to create the datadirs.

Running

This uses docker compose with env files (one per network) to run a local node for Ethereum or for Optimism. docker compose up -d spins the network up in the background. docker compose up spins it up in the foreground. docker compose down spins in down. Don't force kill the network or you may corrupt geth.

It maintains a different folder for Ethereum & Optimism. Both an Ethereum node & an Optimism node may run at the same time, but for each, you can only run on a single network (mainnet/goerli/future testnet).
