Some useful utils for Regen Network validators

Regen Utils

This small collection of utils can simplify common admin tasks to help orchestrate a new validator in support of the forthcoming Regen Network ledger. When nature hangs in the balance, there's not a moment to lose =)

For full context please be sure to checkout https://github.com/regen-network/testnets/ and https://blockscape-network.medium.com/here-we-aplikigo-bb468d242bc1 and then keep reading below.

What's here

Regen Service

Utils to install, uninstall, start, and stop

Regen Logs

Utils to install and uninstall config files to rotate your validator logs via a crontab every so often.

Testing and Requirements

• These utils were tested on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 server running
• 200GB NAS volume with multi-attach support was mounted at /home for easy future upgrades

Getting Started

Clone this repo on your remote host and open a terminal. Next review and run the commands, as you see fit from init-server.log. After you are done, you'll have a fresh validator with regen binaries on your path.

Note that the init-server.log includes commands to init and mount a fresh NAS device at /home. To make your server cloud native, consider abstracting all dependencies from your node so they can be injected via a custom service.

Install the regen service,

1. ./regen-utils/install-regen.sh

Install log rotation,

2. ./regen-utils/install-regen-logrotate.sh

Start the service

3. ./bash regen-utils/start-regen.sh

Stop the service

4. ./bash regen-utils/start-regen.sh

Uninstall the regen service,

5. ./regen-utils/uninstall-regen.sh

Uninstall log rotation,

6. ./regen-utils/uninstall-regen-logrotate.sh

Future Ideas

• add support for Chef
• add support for Puppet
• add support for a K8 buildpack
• add support for cloud native encapsultation
