This script is used to check the status of a local validator node and ensure it is in sync with the network. It uses a child process to spawn a local instance of palomad and listens for its status output. If the node is out of sync for more than 4 consecutive checks, the script will set the validating status to false.
- Node.js
- npm
- dotenv
- A local instance of
palomad
- First, install the necessary dependencies:
npm install
- Create a
.envfile in the root directory and set the PORT variable:
PORT=3000 DISABLE_VOTE_POWER=false
To run the script, use the following command:
node index.js
The script will check the local validator node every minute.
The script also starts an HTTP server that listens on the port specified in the .env file. When a request is made to the server, it will respond with the current validating status.
Errors are captured and logged to the console. If an error occurs when checking the local data, the function will return null and the error will be logged.
You can disable the vote power check by setting the DISABLE_VOTE_POWER variable in the .env file to "true".
This script assumes that palomad is available in your system's PATH. If it's installed in a different location, you'll need to update the path accordingly.
