Builds a container image with a development branch of Lotus (experimental/fvm-m2) for running a localnet in a container for FVM experimentation.

Here are instructions on how to manually create a local network. This image automates almost all of these steps:

This is the branch of Lotus with experimental FVM "smart contract" support:

Built images

The "lite" image is an image based on Ubuntu with just the Lotus binaries and a bootstrapped chain + proofs.

For information about the intermediate Docker images used in the build, see the "Building Images" section below.

Usage: Docker

Run the node:

docker run -p 1234:1234 -i -t --rm --name lotus-fvm-localnet ghcr.io/jimpick/lotus-fvm-localnet-lite:latest lotus daemon --lotus-make-genesis=devgen.car --genesis-template=localnet.json --bootstrap=false

In another terminal, run the miner:

docker exec -i -t lotus-fvm-localnet lotus-miner run --nosync

Watch the chain progress:

docker exec -it lotus-fvm-localnet watch lotus chain list --count=3

Access the JSON-RPC API on the node using CURL:

$ curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Filecoin.ChainHead", "params": [], "id": 1 }' http://127.0.0.1:1234/rpc/v0 | jq

Usage: Kubernetes

Here's a pod spec that will run two containers - one for the node and another for the miner:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: lotus-fvm-localnet
spec:
  restartPolicy: Always
  containers:
  - name: node
    image: ghcr.io/jimpick/lotus-fvm-localnet-lite@latest
    command: [ bash, -c ]
    args:
      - |
        lotus daemon --lotus-make-genesis=devgen.car --genesis-template=localnet.json --bootstrap=false
    tty: true
  - name: miner
    image: ghcr.io/jimpick/lotus-fvm-localnet-lite@latest
    command: [ bash, -c ]
    args:
      - |
        lotus-miner run --nosync
    tty: true
  securityContext:
    fsGroup: 1000
    fsGroupChangePolicy: "OnRootMismatch"

This just uses ephemeral storage on the root overlay filesystem, which will be lost after the pod is terminated.

Building Images

Because the Docker image takes a very long time to build, it is built in a number of stages using GitHub Actions.

ubuntu-dev

This image has a full Ubuntu development setup with Go and Rust.

base

This adds a built version of Lotus along with the source code. Heavy!

The version of Lotus which is built is checked into the top level of this repo as a git submodule.

ready

This image adds a bootstrapped chain and proof parameter files to the "base" image. Heavy!

lite

This image has a non-developer install of Ubuntu plus the compiled Lotus binaries and the bootstrapped chain and proof parameter files from the "ready" image.

python

This image is the "lite" image plus python3.
