An all-powerful toolset for Sovereign.
Sentinel is an autonomous agent for persisting, processing and automating Sovereign governance objects and tasks, and for expanded functions in the upcoming Sovereign V0.2.x release (Evolution).
Sentinel is implemented as a Python application that binds to a local version 0.2.x sovd instance on each Sovereign Masternode.
This guide covers installing Sentinel onto an existing Masternode in Ubuntu 14.04 / 16.04.
Make sure Python version 2.7.x or above is installed:
python --version
Update system packages and ensure virtualenv is installed:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -y install python-virtualenv
Make sure the local Sovereign daemon running is at least version 2.0.1.0 (2000100)
$ sov-cli getinfo | grep version
Clone the Sentinel repo and install Python dependencies.
$ git clone https://github.com/SovCoinX/sentinel.git && cd sentinel
$ virtualenv ./venv
$ ./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
Set up a crontab entry to call Sentinel every minute:
$ crontab -e
In the crontab editor, add the lines below, replacing '/home/YOURUSERNAME/sentinel' to the path where you cloned sentinel to:
* * * * * cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/sentinel && ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py >/dev/null 2>&1
Test the config by running all tests from the sentinel folder you cloned into
$ ./venv/bin/py.test ./test
With all tests passing and crontab setup, Sentinel will stay in sync with sovd and the installation is complete
Download and install Python 2.7 https://www.python.org/
Open CMD
pip install pyinstaller
Download https://github.com/SovCoinX/sentinel.git
Go to the unzipped folder
pip install -r requirements.txt
pyinstaller --onefile --paths=lib/ ./bin/sentinel.py
An alternative (non-default) path to the sov.conf file can be specified in sentinel.conf:
sov_conf=/path/to/sov.conf
To view debug output, set the SENTINEL_DEBUG environment variable to anything non-zero, then run the script manually:
$ SENTINEL_DEBUG=1 ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py
