Setup a ETH2 Validator

clone the repo and change into

git clone https://github.com/kramerjul/eth2-validator-docker-compose.git

Change into the repo and create a environment variable PROJECT_PATH

cd eth2-validator-docker-compose/
PROJECT_PATH=${PWD}

Create all folders

Change the directory to the deployment-folder

cd deployment-pyrmont/

Let's create a environment variable DEPLOYMENT_PATH

DEPLOYMENT_PATH=${PWD}

First create all folders

mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/goethereum
mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/grafana
mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/prometheus
mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/prysm/beaconchain
mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/prysm/validator/passwords
mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/prysm/validator/wallets
mkdir -p ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/keys

Let's choose a password in order to secure your wallet which will be created later on

echo <YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD> >> ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/prysm/validator/password/wallet-password

Get Goerli

We will need to deposit 32 GörliETH to register a validator. You can request GörliETH here. I recommend setting up a Metamask account before.

Generate Keys

First install the official eth2.0-deposit-cli in order to generate your keys

cd ${PROJECT_PATH}
curl -LO https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-deposit-cli/releases/download/v1.1.0/eth2deposit-cli-ed5a6d3-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf eth2deposit-cli-ed5a6d3-linux-amd64.tar.gz 
rm -f eth2deposit-cli-ed5a6d3-linux-amd64.tar.gz 
cd eth2deposit-cli-ed5a6d3-linux-amd64/

Generate new validator keys. Make sure you use the correct chain. For testnet pyrmont, for mainnet mainnet

./deposit new-mnemonic --num_validators 1 --chain pyrmont

Copy your keys to the deployment path

cp -r <YOUR_KEYS_PATH/validator_keys> ${DEPLOYMENT_PATH}/data/keys/

Register your wallet

visit the pyrmont-launchpad and follow the instructions to register a validator. After that import the account with

sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.create-account.yml run validator-import-launchpad

You can check your imported account by running

sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.create-account.yml run validator-list-accounts

Add certs for nginx

Add your certs to the folder ./config/nginx/certs

Change the certs name in the config file ./config/nginx/nginx.conf

Start everything up

Start your eth1-client, beacon-chain-client, validator, prometheus and grafana with

sudo docker-compose up -d
