Phase 1 Testnet deployment

Server Preparation

Create a server of your choice and expose on ports 12000 UDP and 13000 TCP

• (AWS example at the bottom)

SHH permissions and login to server-

$ cd ./{path to where the ssh downloaded}

$ chmod 400 {ssh file name}

$ ssh -i {ssh file name} ubuntu@{server public ip}

.env file

• Export all required params
  • Fill the fields according to the .env provided for you by Blox

$ touch .env

$ echo "CONSENSUS_TYPE=validation" >> .env
$ echo "NETWORK=pyrmont" >> .env
$ echo "BEACON_NODE_ADDR={ETH 2.0 node}" >> .env
$ echo "VALIDATOR_PUBLIC_KEY={validator public key}" >> .env
$ echo "NODE_ID={provided node index}" >> .env
$ echo "SSV_PRIVATE_KEY={provided node private key}" >> .env
$ echo "PUBKEY_NODE_1={provided node index 1 public key}" >> .env
$ echo "PUBKEY_NODE_2={provided node index 2 public key}" >> .env
$ echo "PUBKEY_NODE_3={provided node index 3 public key}" >> .env 
$ echo "PUBKEY_NODE_4={provided node index 4 public key}" >> .env

Download and run install.sh script

$ sudo su

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/eth2-ssv/stage/install.sh

$ chmod +x install.sh

$ ./install.sh

• Expected output - docker container id

• You can watch logs using that cmd -

$ docker logs ssv_node --follow

Create EC2 server guides

AWS -

• In the search bar search for "ec2"
• Launch new instance
• choose "ubuntu server 20.04"
• choose "t2.micro" (free tire)
• skip to "security group" section
• make sure you have 3 rules. UDP, TCP and SSH -
• after launch, add new key pair and download the ssh file
• launch instance
