ethereum-genesis-generator

Create a ethereum consensus/execution layer testnet genesis and expose it via a webserver for testing purposes.

Examples

Running with the default configuration. Check the config-example directory.

mkdir data
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/data:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest all # Create EL+CL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/data:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest cl  # Just CL
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/data:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest el  # Just EL

You can overwrite configuration files and apply your own by using volume mounts:

# Overwriting the config files and generating the EL and CL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/data:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 \
  -v $PWD/cl-config.yaml:/config/cl/config.yaml \
  -v $PWD/cl-mnemonics.yaml:/config/cl/mnemonics.yaml \
  -v $PWD/el-config.yaml:/config/el/genesis-config.yaml \
  skylenet/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest all

# Just creating the EL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/data:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 \
  -v $PWD/el-config.yaml:/config/el/genesis-config.yaml \
  ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest el

# Just creating the CL genesis
docker run --rm -it -u $UID -v $PWD/data:/data -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000 \
  -v $PWD/cl-config.yaml:/config/cl/config.yaml \
  -v $PWD/cl-mnemonics.yaml:/config/cl/mnemonics.yaml \
  ethpandaops/ethereum-genesis-generator:latest cl

After that, access http://localhost:8000 on your browser to see the genesis files

Environment variables

Name	Default	Description
SERVER_PORT	8000	Web server port

Besides that, you can also use ENV vars in your configuration files. One way of doing this is via the values.env configuration file. These will be replaced during runtime.
