hc-siderun

Helper utility for initializing a cluster of holochain nodes all connecting to a local bootstrap server (and thus, to each other)

What is this?

Ever find yourself working on a holochain app, needing to quickly spin up a local cluster of nodes that can all talk to each other?

hc-siderun will set up a cluster of nodes to run your test app. It runs a bootstrap server, and connects all the nodes to it, so they have routing information.

Quickstart

Put ./bin/hc-siderun in your path (or sudo cp ./bin/hc-siderun /usr/local/bin)

Cd into your development app dir cd HoloWorld

Initialize the cluster:

hc-siderun init -p=.

Start up the cluster:

hc-siderun run

Browse to your nodes:

http://127.0.0.1:10001 http://127.0.0.1:10002 http://127.0.0.1:10003

Cleanup

hc-siderun clean

Working with cluster names

You can also initialize multiple clusters for different apps

hc-siderun init -c=cluster1 -p=project1
hc-siderun init -c=cluster2 -p=project2

$ hc-siderun list
cluster1
cluster2

$ hc-siderun del -c=cluster1
$ hc-siderun list
cluster2
