---

main branch

You need to set the environment variables for the server port and the validators list by using source env_vars
Run the program using yarn && yarn build && yarn start
Use docker build -t ksm-watcher . --network=host to build the docker image.

helmChartBranch branch

Here you can find the helmChart created for this application under kusamaHelmChart folder.
This branch also consists of the values.yaml changes on the kube-prometheus-stack chart.
Trigger the Helm chart installation/upgrade by configuring the values.yaml and running inside the folder:
helm upgrade ksm-watcher . -f values.yaml

wireguard branch

For this branch we need to set our wireguard connection between 2 machines.
In my case I had the kubernetes cluster with the prometheus instances and the application running in docker in another machine.
In order to set your wireguard connection you can use the following guide.
This process can be automated as well.
In this branch there are the resources for kubernetes to communicate using the wg0 interface to the application on the other side.
You can deploy them using helm upgrade wireguard . -f values.yaml
