## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To facilitate deploying grid backend services, we provide snapshots to significantly reduce sync time. This can be setup anywhere from scratch. Once all services are synced, one can use the scripts to create snapshots automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To learn how to deploy your own grid stack, read [this section](./grid_deployment_full_vm.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Services
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are 3 grid backend services that collect enough data to justify creating snapshots:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- ThreeFold blockchain - TFChain
|
||
|
|
- Graphql - Indexer
|
||
|
|
- Graphql - Processor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## ThreeFold Public Snapshots
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ThreeFold hosts all available snapshots at: [https://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf/](https://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf/). Those snapshots can be downloaded with rsync:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Mainnet:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshots/tfchain-mainnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshots/indexer-mainnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshots/processor-mainnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Testnet:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshotstest/tfchain-testnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshotstest/indexer-testnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshotstest/processor-testnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Devnet:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshotsdev/tfchain-devnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshotsdev/indexer-devnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
rsync -Lv --progress --partial rsync://bknd.snapshot.grid.tf:34873/gridsnapshotsdev/processor-devnet-latest.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Deploy the Services with Scripts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can deploy the 3 individual services using known methods such as [Docker](../../system_administrators/computer_it_basics/docker_basics.md). To facilitate the process, scripts are provided that run the necessary docker commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first script creates the snapshots, while the second and third scripts serve to start and stop all services.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use the start script to start all services and then set a cron job to execute periodically the snapshot creation script. This will ensure that you always have the latest version available on your server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create the Snapshots
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can set a cron job to execute a script running rsync to create the snapshots and generate logs at a given interval.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- First download the script.
|
||
|
|
- Main net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/mainnet/create_snapshot.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Test net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/testnet/create_snapshot.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Dev net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/devnet/create_snapshot.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Set the permissions of the script
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
chmod +x create_snapshot.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Make sure to a adjust the snapshot creation script for your specific deployment
|
||
|
|
- Set a cron job
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
crontab -e
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Here is an example of a cron job where we execute the script every day at 1 AM and send the logs to `/var/log/snapshots/snapshots-cron.log`.
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
0 1 * * * sh /opt/snapshots/create-snapshot.sh > /var/log/snapshots/snapshots-cron.log 2>&1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Start All the Services
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can start all services by running the provided scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Download the script.
|
||
|
|
- Main net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/mainnet/startall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|

|
|
- Dev net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/devnet/startall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Set the permissions of the script
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
chmod +x startall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Run the script to start all services via docker engine.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./startall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Stop All the Services
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can stop all services by running the provided scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Download the script.
|
||
|
|
- Main net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/mainnet/stopall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Test net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/testnet/stopall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Dev net
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
wget https://github.com/threefoldtech/grid_deployment/blob/development/grid-snapshots/devnet/stopall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Set the permissions of the script
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
chmod +x stopall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Run the script to stop all services via docker engine.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
./stopall.sh
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Expose the Snapshots with Rsync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We use rsync with a systemd service to expose the snapshots to the community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create the Service Configuration File
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To setup a public rsync server, create and edit the following file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`/etc/rsyncd.conf`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
|
||
|
|
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
|
||
|
|
log file = /var/log/rsync.log
|
||
|
|
port = 34873
|
||
|
|
max connections = 20
|
||
|
|
exclude = lost+found/
|
||
|
|
transfer logging = yes
|
||
|
|
use chroot = yes
|
||
|
|
reverse lookup = no
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[gridsnapshots]
|
||
|
|
path = /storage/rsync-public/mainnet
|
||
|
|
comment = THREEFOLD GRID MAINNET SNAPSHOTS
|
||
|
|
read only = true
|
||
|
|
timeout = 300
|
||
|
|
list = false
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[gridsnapshotstest]
|
||
|
|
path = /storage/rsync-public/testnet
|
||
|
|
comment = THREEFOLD GRID TESTNET SNAPSHOTS
|
||
|
|
read only = true
|
||
|
|
timeout = 300
|
||
|
|
list = false
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[gridsnapshotsdev]
|
||
|
|
path = /storage/rsync-public/devnet
|
||
|
|
comment = THREEFOLD GRID DEVNET SNAPSHOTS
|
||
|
|
read only = true
|
||
|
|
timeout = 300
|
||
|
|
list = false
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Start the Service
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start and enable via systemd:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
systemctl start rsync
|
||
|
|
systemctl enable rsync
|
||
|
|
systemctl status rsync
|
||
|
|
```
|
