## Running the Bridge

To run the Bridge you need to be able to connect the bridge relay node to the RPC interface of nodes on each side of the
bridge (source and target chain).

There are 2 ways to run the bridge, described below:

- building & running from source: with this option, you'll be able to run the bridge between two standalone chains that
are running GRANDPA finality gadget to achieve finality;

- running a Docker Compose setup: this is a recommended option, where you'll see bridges with parachains, complex relays
and more.

### Using the Source

First you'll need to build the bridge nodes and relay. This can be done as follows:

```bash
# In `parity-bridges-common` folder
cargo build -p rialto-bridge-node
cargo build -p millau-bridge-node
cargo build -p substrate-relay
```

### Running a Dev network

We will launch a dev network to demonstrate how to relay a message between two Substrate based chains (named Rialto and
Millau).

To do this we will need two nodes, two relayers which will relay headers, and two relayers which will relay messages.

#### Running from local scripts

To run a simple dev network you can use the scripts located in the [`deployments/local-scripts`
folder](./deployments/local-scripts).

First, we must run the two Substrate nodes.

```bash
# In `parity-bridges-common` folder
./deployments/local-scripts/run-rialto-node.sh
./deployments/local-scripts/run-millau-node.sh
```

After the nodes are up we can run the header relayers.

```bash
./deployments/local-scripts/relay-millau-to-rialto.sh
./deployments/local-scripts/relay-rialto-to-millau.sh
```

At this point you should see the relayer submitting headers from the Millau Substrate chain to the Rialto Substrate
chain.

```
# Header Relayer Logs
[Millau_to_Rialto_Sync] [date] DEBUG bridge Going to submit finality proof of Millau header #147 to Rialto
[...] [date] INFO bridge Synced 147 of 147 headers
[...] [date] DEBUG bridge Going to submit finality proof of Millau header #148 to Rialto
[...] [date] INFO bridge Synced 148 of 149 headers
```

Finally, we can run the message relayers.

```bash
./deployments/local-scripts/relay-messages-millau-to-rialto.sh
./deployments/local-scripts/relay-messages-rialto-to-millau.sh
```

You will also see the message lane relayers listening for new messages.

```
# Message Relayer Logs

[...] [date] INFO bridge Synced Some(2) of Some(3) nonces in Millau::MessagesDelivery -> Rialto::MessagesDelivery race
[...] [date] DEBUG bridge Asking Millau::MessagesDelivery about message nonces

[...] [date] DEBUG bridge Asking Millau node about its state
[...] [date] DEBUG bridge Received state from Millau node: ClientState { best_self: HeaderId(1593, 0xacac***), best_finalized_self:
HeaderId(1590, 0x0be81d...), best_finalized_peer_at_best_self: HeaderId(0, 0xdcdd89...) }
```

To send a message see the ["How to send a message" section](#how-to-send-a-message).

### How to send a message

In this section we'll show you how to quickly send a bridge message. The message is just an encoded XCM `Trap(43)`
message.

```bash
# In `parity-bridges-common` folder
./scripts/send-message-from-millau-rialto.sh
```

After sending a message you will see the following logs showing a message was successfully sent:

```
INFO bridge Sending message to Rialto. Size: 11.
TRACE bridge Sent transaction to Millau node: 0x5e68...
```

And at the Rialto node logs you'll something like this:

```
... runtime::bridge-messages: Received messages: total=1, valid=1. Weight used: Weight(ref_time: 1215065371, proof_size:
48559)/Weight(ref_time: 1215065371, proof_size: 54703).
```

It means that the message has been delivered and dispatched. Message may be dispatched with an error, though - the goal
of our test bridge is to ensure that messages are successfully delivered and all involved components are working.

## Full Network Docker Compose Setup

For a more sophisticated deployment which includes bidirectional header sync, message passing, monitoring dashboards,
etc. see the [Deployments README](./deployments/README.md).

You should note that you can find images for all the bridge components published on [Docker
Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/paritytech).

To run a Rialto node for example, you can use the following command:

```bash
docker run -p 30333:30333 -p 9933:9933 -p 9944:9944 \
-it paritytech/rialto-bridge-node --dev --tmp \
--rpc-cors=all --unsafe-rpc-external
```

## Community

Main hangout for the community is [Element](https://element.io/) (formerly Riot). Element is a chat server like, for
example, Discord. Most discussions around Polkadot and Substrate happen in various Element "rooms" (channels). So,
joining Element might be a good idea, anyway.

If you are interested in information exchange and development of Polkadot related bridges please feel free to join the
[Polkadot Bridges](https://app.element.io/#/room/#bridges:web3.foundation) Element channel.

The [Substrate Technical](https://app.element.io/#/room/#substrate-technical:matrix.org) Element channel is most suited
for discussions regarding Substrate itself.
Apart from live Rococo <> Westend bridge, you may spin up local networks and test see how it works locally. More
details may be found in
[this document](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/tree/master//cumulus/parachains/runtimes/bridge-hubs/README.md).
