radixdlt/babylon-node rcnet-v2-phase1-r2 on GitHub

This is RCnet v2 Phase 1 - which just covers radixdlt-scrypto and the node. A full stack (including Gateway, Dashboard, Wallet etc) will come with RCnet v2 Phase 2 in a few weeks - see announcement blog post for further details.

This build will be used for running the trial Stokenet migration - this Monday 10th July! Please see details here and come discuss in the #node-runners channel on our discord server.

Overview

This is the second release candidate of the Radix Babylon mainnet.

The network which runs our public RCnet v2 network has a logical name of ansharnet- which you will see in some places - particularly where we want to differentiate between this network, and other networks running the rcnet-v2-phase1 build (such as migrated stokenet).
This build can be used for running the Olympia to Babylon stokenet migration - further details on how to take part in the Stokenet migration are here.

Node Runners

Basic docs on node running are here.

Running with the Node Runner CLI

NOTE: This isn't available just yet for RCnet-v2 - we expect it to be out early next week

Our recommended approach. See the docs here and the latest release can be obtained from here: Node Runner CLI.

Running via docker

Image rcnet-v2-phase1-r2 is available from docker hub
An example docker compose file is available here
Supported environment variable configuration is here - as well as normal configuration, you will need to set up environment variables for RCnet v2 / Ansharnet as follows:

Running natively

The main change to Olympia is that the node now has its core written in Rust, but still uses java as the system orchestrator.

To run the node, you will need both:

The attached JAR (in babylon-node-rcnet-v2-phase1.zip)
The native library, compiled for your node's system architecture. This will have a name like libcorerust.so / corerust.dll / libcorerust.dylib depending on the platform.
- We prebuild this for many platforms - see the attached zip files. EG the contents of babylon-node-rust-arch-linux-x86_64-release-rcnet-v2-phase1.zip can be used for x86_64 linux deployments. Note they need to use a version of libc at least as recent as Ubuntu 22.04.2.0 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish).
- If you need another architecture, you will need to compile it yourself on the desired target - see section below.

You will then need to run the JAR, but make the native library available for java to connect via JNI. This can be done in one of multiple ways:

On Linux:
- Put the native library in /usr/lib/jni or /usr/lib - be sure it's named libcorerust.so
- Start the jar with an environment variable LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/native_library.so.
General:
- Put the library at one of the java.library.paths (on Ubuntu: e.g. /usr/lib/jni, on OSX: e.g. ~/Library/Java/Extensions/)
- Run the jar with -Djava.library.path=<path_to_library_directory> and put the library there. EG on windows, the library will need to be called corerust.dll.

Configuration to use with your RCnet v2 / ansharnet node is as follows. This can be specified in a file called "default.config" alongside the home directory of the node, or put in another file and referenced via a --config=path/to/config-file command line parameter.

Compiling the native library for your architecture

If you need an architecture other than those offered in the attached zip files, you will need to compile it yourself on the desired target.

Pre-requisites

clang
git
openjdk-17-jdk-headless
rustup (e.g. curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh) - note: the prepackaged rust-1.62-all on Ubuntu is insufficient

Build steps

On your node:

Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-node.git, change directory to babylon-node, and checkout the branch release/rcnet-v2
Run ./gradlew installDist in babylon-node
Run cargo build --release in babylon-node/core-rust
Copy the created rust library found in babylon-node/core-rust/target/release/libcorerust.so (libcorerust.dylib on OSX, corerust.dll on Windows) to one of the java.library.paths (on Ubuntu: e.g. /usr/lib/jni, on OSX: e.g. ~/Library/Java/Extensions/)

You can then start your node as normal, eg with env RADIX_NODE_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=[validator.ks passphrase] ./core/build/install/core/bin/core

Note: ./core/build/install/ directory can be safely moved to a directory under /opt, e.g. /opt/radixdlt.

Service files for Debian

A .deb for the node containing a useful base .service can be created as follows:

Clone the repository and cd babylon-node
Run ./gradlew deb4Docker
Install the package that was created with dpkg -i
Fine-tune the installed service file - e.g. by adding the RADIX_NODE_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD environment variable.

APIs/Monitoring:

APIs now live here:

Core (bound to localhost:3333) - Core API docs here
System (bound to localhost:3334) - System API docs here
Prometheus (bound to localhost:3335) - they have been rehashed a lot to be a lot more consistent and powerful, although we don't have a great guide for these just yet.

Validator Registration:

This isn't easy to do at present, due to a lack of a full stack

Details will be here when available: https://docs-babylon.radixdlt.com/main/node-and-gateway/register-as-validator.html
