Doc: How to install Dash Drive

[coolaj86]

Overview

Corrections for https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/docs/user/masternodes/setup-testnet.html#drive to install drive from the current codebase.

Notable changes:

• Go is completely unnecessary
• Node is completely unnecessary
• Python is completely unnecessary
• WASM components are not used directly by drive

Where is the repo to pull request changes to the out-of-date docs?

System Requirements

• 8gb RAM (compiling requires about 5gb)
• 20gb Storage (16gb may suffice, depending on OS size)
  (several GB will be used as build cache during compile)
• As many CPUs as you have to spare
• glibc-based system (not Alpine / musl)

Pre-reqs

Install:

• C tools
• Protobuf tools
• Rust
• Serviceman

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
    build-essential \
    clang \
    cmake
sudo apt install -y \
    protobuf-compiler

curl https://webi.sh/rust | sh
curl https://webi.sh/serviceman | sh
source ~/.config/envman/PATH.env

Build from Source

IMPORTANT
Check https://github.com/dashpay/platform to see whether it's actually master or something else, like v1.0-dev, that's the current working "main" branch.

# EXAMPLE w/ 'v1.0-dev'
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch 'v1.0-dev' \
    https://github.com/dashpay/platform.git \
    ./dash-drive/

# EXAMPLE w/ 'master'
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch 'master' \
    https://github.com/dashpay/platform.git \
    ./dash-drive/

pushd ./dash-drive/

Build Dash Drive

# this WILL NOT work
#yarn workspace @dashevo/rs-drive build

# do this instead
pushd ./packages/rs-drive-abci/

cargo build
ls -lAhF ../target/debug/drive-abci

cargo build --release
ls -lAhF ../target/release/drive-abci

popd

(building unnecessary WASM components moved to its own section)

# SKIP this part

Test Run

./target/debug/drive-abci -c ~/.config/dash-drive/env start

Install as a System Service

# this WILL NOT work
#pm2 start yarn --name "drive" -- workspace @dashevo/drive abci

# do this instead
my_user="$(id -u -n)"
sudo env PATH="${PATH}" \
    serviceman add --name dash-drive --system --username="${my_user}" -- \
    ./target/release/drive-abci -c ~/.config/dash-drive/env start

Check the logs

sudo journalctl -xefu dash-drive

Build WASM Components

Not required to run Dash Drive, but possibly useful as an SDK component for some other software that can consume WASM libraries.

sudo apt install -y \
    pkg-config \
    libssl-dev \
    llvm

 # Check the wasm-bindgen VERSION (ex: 0.2.85)
 grep -B 1 -A 8 'name = "wasm-bindgen"' Cargo.lock

 # Install *that* version of the CLI
 my_wbg_cli_ver="$(
     grep -B 1 -A 8 'name = "wasm-bindgen"' Cargo.lock |
         grep 'version' |
         cut -d'"' -f2
 )"
 echo "$my_wbg_cli_ver"
 # ex: 0.2.86
 cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli@"$my_wbg_cli_ver"
 wasm-bindgen -V

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

pushd ./packages/wasm_dpp/

cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
ls -lAhF ../target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/debug/wasm_dpp.wasm

cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown
ls -lAhF ../target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/wasm_dpp.wasm

Just finished running through the instructions and can confirm that they are accurate, with one caveat:

It may or may not be necessary to install libssl-dev for the WASM lib. I initially thought the error I was getting was about it being missing, but it turned out to be pkg-config. I suspect that it is also required.

Note: As per usual, the protoc shipped with apt may be a decade (or 22 major versions, whatever) behind the official release:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases

~/.local/opt/protoc/bin/protoc --version

libprotoc 25.3

/usr/bin/protoc --version

libprotoc 3.12.4

How to install protoc v25

mkdir -p ~/Downloads/

mkdir -p ~/.local/opt/protoc-v25.3/
pushd ~/.local/opt/protoc-v25.3/
unzip ~/Downloads/protoc-25.3-linux-x86_64.zip
popd

pushd ~/.local/opt/
ln -sf ./protoc-v25.3/ ./protoc
popd

pathman add ~/.local/opt/protoc/bin/
export PATH="$HOME/.local/opt/protoc/bin/:$PATH"

How to install Envoy

curl -L -O https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/releases/download/v1.23.10/envoy-1.23.10-linux-x86_64
chmod a+x ./envoy-1.23.10-linux-x86_64
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/
mv ./envoy-1.23.10-linux-x86_64 ~/.local/bin/envoy

Configure

# NOTE
# Probably better to adapt from
# ./packages/dashmate/templates/platform/dapi/envoy/envoy.yaml.dot

curl -L -O https://gist.githubusercontent.com/strophy/2716c203d88e77419152f6392623b844/raw/ce7aa360b544621c22587a09e0cf7190fd4a202e/envoy.yaml
mkdir -p ~/.config/envoy/
chmod 0700 ~/.config/envoy/
mv ./envoy.yaml ~/.config/envoy/config.yaml
chmod 0600 ~/.config/envoy/config.yaml

Run

envoy --config-path ~/.config/envoy/config.yaml

If Envoy is behind a TLS-terminating proxy on a different port:

static_resources:
  listeners:
    - name: grpc_and_json_rpc
      address:
        socket_address:
          address: 10.11.5.111
          #port_value: 10000
          port_value: 3080
      filter_chains:
        - filters: *filters

I don't think we have such a section there anymore. DCG doesn't support any other installation than dashmate, atm. Shall we close the issue?

[shumkov]

Please reopen if you think otherwise
