If starting from a fresh clone you must build the bootstrapper (bootstrapper.Dockerfile) as well as the client images the configs depend on. (deps/dockers/build_dockers.sh)
You can build both of these via:
make build-all-imagesor seperately via:
make build-bootstrapper
make build-client-imagesAll images can be build without the cache via:
make rebuild-all-images
# or individually
make rebuild-bootstrapper
make rebuild-client-imagesOnce the images are built you can launch a testnet.
# clean the last experiment if any
make clean
# initialize the testnet
make init-testnet config=configs/EXPERIMENT_CONFIG
# for example run a minimal testnet with all client pairs:
make init-testnet config=configs/minimal-testnet.yaml
# bootstrap and run the testnet
docker-compose up --force-recreate --remove-orphansThe testnet commands can also be run with various logging levels:
debug v.s. info
make init-testnet config=configs/minimal-testnet.yaml log_level=info
docker run -it -v /0xtylerholmes/git/ethereum-testnet-bootstrapper/:/source/ -v /0xtylerholmes/git/ethereum-testnet-bootstrapper/data/:/data ethereum-testnet-bootstrapper --config configs/minimal-testnet.yaml --init-testnet --log-level info

You can check the status of an experiment by attaching to the node-watch container.
docker attach node-watch-0The output of which will look something like this:

Here the heads report shows you a series of head reports:
(head_slot, last 4 bytes of state root, proposer) : [clients with this view].
If there are forks you would see multiple entries.
The checkpoints report shows you the checkpoints in
(epoch, last 8 bytes of root) : [clients with this view]
NOTE: it may take several slots for all of the nodes to come up. This is normal and you can ignore all the ERROR messages
until the nodes are up.
If nodes become unresponsive these will be reported via Unreachable clients. For example if prysm-nethermind-0 went offline:
