ethereum-genesis-generator's Introduction

ethereum-genesis-generator

Create a ethereum consensus/execution layer testnet genesis and optionally expose it via a web server for testing purposes.

Examples

You can provide your own configuration directory. Have a look at the example in config-example.

# Create the output directory
mkdir output

# Overwriting the config files and generating the EL and CL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/output:/data \
  -v $PWD/config-example:/config \
  ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest all

# Just creating the EL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/output:/data \
  -v $PWD/config-example:/config \
  ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest el

# Just creating the CL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/output:/data \
  -v $PWD/config-example:/config \
  ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest cl

Environment variables

Name	Default	Description
SERVER_ENABLED	false	Enable a web server that will serve the generated files
SERVER_PORT	8000	Web server port

Besides that, you can also use ENV vars in your configuration files. One way of doing this is via the values.env configuration file. These will be replaced during runtime.

Shadow Fork

If shadow fork from file is the preferred option, then please ensure the latest block json response is collected along with transactions. This can be done with the below call for example:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw '{ "jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getBlockByNumber", "params":[ "latest", true ], "id":1 }' localhost:8545
