ARKLauncher is a powerful tool that significantly reduces the time required to launch your own custom blockchain, removing much of the complexities associated with such a task. Using ARKLauncher’s Blockchain Wizard, you can set up and launch your own blockchain in just a few steps.
Currently the instructions are for Valet:
git clone https://github.com/ArkEcosystem/one-click.git
cd one-click
composer install
yarn install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
composer db:dev
# or when you want to start with a few tokens: composer db:staging
yarn watch
valet link one-click
php artisan horizonDefaut login information is:
username: hello@ark.io
password: password
When running ARKLauncher locally, you have to keep a few things in mind to ensure that local server deployments succeed.
First, make sure that you have a tunnel open through either ngrok (e.g. valet share) or Expose, and set this value as your APP_URL in your .env. This is needed to allow the server to post its progress back to ARKLauncher while it's setting up the server. If you forget to do so, you will find that ARKLauncher gets stuck on the first setup step while it will be installining fine if you check the progress on the actual server.
With the URL available, it's time to start horizon. Run php artisan horizon to make sure that horizon has the latest configuration loaded and will make use of your up-to-date APP_URL. Make sure to restart horizon when you change the URL, or it will end up using outdated data during deployments.
Some of the server providers do not immediately return an IP address when you create a server through their API. As a result, we have to periodically poll the created server on the provider to check if an IP has been assigned yet, before we can continue the rest of the deployment. Therefore you have to make sure that you run the scheduler through php artisan schedule:work or by calling the respective command (see the SyncServerRemoteAddresses class) manually until you receive an IP.
If you run into errors, try the following first before resorting to slack / google:
- clear caches:
php artisan cache:clear && php artisan route:clear && php artisan config:clear && php artisan view:clear - clear bootstrap:
rm bootstrap/cache/* - restart horizon:
php artisan horizon - seed the db:
composer db:dev
As DigitalOcean assigns a public IP address to the server only when server is built (typically taking a few minutes), ARKLauncher has to periodically check whether the server has a new IP address assigned. This is typically done via Cronjob, so make sure to run the Laravel Scheduler in addition to the Horizon worker.
php artisan schedule:workNot running the Scheduler will result in ServerProvisioner job timeout / fail because the server won't have the IP assigned.
