DEV_SETUP.md

Set LOCALIZE_LOG=true in node_config and set the nodeos and cleos binaries to be the name of the binary without a specific path:

BUILD_ROOT="/path/to/binaries/2.0.4"
CLIENT_BIN="cleos"
NODEOS_BIN="nodeos"
CPU="0"
LOCALIZE_LOG=true

Don't bother with the directories setup, with the log localized, the whole node will be contained within this node-template repo's directory

To reset the node, either remove or rename the data directory

First, generate a key to use for this local network's eosio super-user account

cleos create key --to-console

Create a dev wallet, save this password:

cleos wallet create -n dev --to-console

Import the key into cleos, paste the private key when prompted:

cleos wallet import -n dev

Then generate a new genesis.json file

nodeos --extract-genesis-json genesis.json

Edit the genesis.json and set the initial_key to the key that you generated above for eosio:

vi genesis.json

Edit the config.ini to configure this node to produce blocks as eosio

vi config.ini

and change these two, seting the key to be the one you generated above

producer-name = eosio
signature-provider = EOS6nrS...=KEY:5HxQ...

Start the node for the first time

./start.sh --enable-stale-production --genesis-json genesis.json

Observe it is now producing blocks, change the name of the log file depending if you renamed this repo directory

tail -f node-template.log

Stop the node

./stop.sh

Start the node in dev mode, this is how you will start the node from now on:

./start.sh --enable-stale-production
