This repo contains scripts to build fullnode images of various blockchains by Coin Metrics.
These images are being used internally at Coin Metrics, and are published in the hope they will be useful, but without any warranty. No support is available. You are using them at your own risk.
This repository is new, experimental, and work in progress. If you want more stable experience, please consider the Fullnodes group of repositories by Coin Metrics, which are still updated.
- The scripts build fullnodes from source, rather than by packaging official binaries
- Nix is used for building binaries and images
- Images are very minimal and include only necessary packages to run a fullnode (Nix closure)
When updating a node's version, the source's hashes need to be recomputed.
This can be done using either nix-prefetch-git for git repos:
$ nix-prefetch-git --rev v4.6.0 --url https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse

For Go repositories, the vendor hash cannot be pre-computed.
Scripts use original source code downloads for building software, but may also apply additional patches.
Such patches are usually placed in fullnodes/<specific fullnode>/patches directories.
The images are rebuilt regularly with latest versions of dependencies. Builds are performed on Coin Metrics infrastructure.
