DC/OS Ethereum

DC/OS Ethereum is a Mesos framework for managing a geth-based ethereum cluster. Ethereum is a decentralized platform for building applications using blockchain.

See our blog post for more information: "Ethereum on DC/OS: Automating Private Blockchain Deployment"

Introduction

This framework deploys an Ethereum network onto a DC/OS cluster. It can be configured as a private network or it can connect to Rinkeby, TestNet, MainNet, etc. For further information on running a private network, refer to Geth's documentation. This framework is comprised of 4 components:

1. boot node: used for Geth node discovery
2. ethstats: Ethereum Network Stats
3. sealer nodes: Geth miner nodes
4. client nodes: Geth transaction nodes with mining disabled whose responsbility is to respond to API (websocket, rpc) queries

Prerequisites

• DC/OS 1.10+

Installing the Framework

$ dcos package install ethereum

Usage

CLI Usage and useful commands can be found in docs/USAGE.md. In general you can find commands by running:

$ dcos ethereum --help

Uninstalling the Framework

To uninstall/delete the deployment:

$ dcos package uninstall ethereum

The command removes all of the components associated with the framework including the blockchain data.
