Local development network
Instructions on how to run a full local development network
The local development network consists of following services:
- Mandala node
- Subquery Services
- Postgres database
- Subquery node
- GraphQL engine
- Eth Rpc Adapter
docker compose -f docker-compose-bodhi-stack.yml up
Once you see logs like this, the local development stack is ready.
--------------------------------------------
🚀 SERVER STARTED 🚀
--------------------------------------------
version : bodhi.js/eth-rpc-adapter/2.7.3
endpoint url : ws://mandala-node:9944
subquery url : http://graphql-engine:3001
listening to : 8545
max blockCache : 200
max batchSize : 50
max storageSize : 5000
safe mode : false
local mode : false
rich mode : false
http only : false
verbose : true
--------------------------------------------
It's ok to see some error messege in the docker logs, since we don't have transactions in the node yet, so subquery will keep crashing and restarting. Once there are transactions, everything will work normally.
In order to have a clean start after every shutdown of the node, run the following command after the node was shut down:
docker compose down -v
Cleaning up the local development network
A light stack is a stack without subquery services, it only contains mandala node and eth rpc adapter. It's useful when you want to test some simple transactions, but it lacks the ability to fetch logs. (when do I need subquery?)
To start a light stack, first start a local mandala node
docker run -it --rm -p 9944:9944 -p 9933:9933 ghcr.io/acalanetwork/mandala-node:sha-a32c40b --dev --ws-external --rpc-port=9933 --rpc-external --rpc-cors=all --rpc-methods=unsafe -levm=debug --pruning=archive --instant-sealing
Then start an eth rpc adapter
docker run -it --rm -p 8545:8545 acala/eth-rpc-adapter:2.7.4 --endpoint ws://host.docker.internal:9944 --local-mode
Once the full local development network is up and running, the following services are available:
