--- description: Multi-node blockchain deployment and setup workflow --- # Multi-Node Blockchain Deployment Workflow This workflow sets up a two-node AITBC blockchain network (aitbc1 as genesis authority, aitbc as follower node), creates wallets, and demonstrates cross-node transactions. ## Prerequisites - SSH access to both nodes (aitbc1 and aitbc) - Both nodes have the AITBC repository cloned - Redis available for cross-node gossip - Python venv at `/opt/aitbc/venv` - AITBC CLI tool available (aliased as `aitbc`) - CLI tool configured to use `/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env` by default ## Pre-Flight Setup Before running the workflow, ensure the following setup is complete: ```bash # 1. Stop existing services systemctl stop aitbc-blockchain-* 2>/dev/null || true # 2. Update ALL systemd configurations (main files + drop-ins + overrides) # Update main service files sed -i 's|EnvironmentFile=/opt/aitbc/.env|EnvironmentFile=/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env|g' /opt/aitbc/systemd/aitbc-blockchain-*.service # Update drop-in configs find /etc/systemd/system/aitbc-blockchain-*.service.d/ -name "10-central-env.conf" -exec sed -i 's|EnvironmentFile=/opt/aitbc/.env|EnvironmentFile=/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env|g' {} \; 2>/dev/null || true # Fix override configs (wrong venv paths) find /etc/systemd/system/aitbc-blockchain-*.service.d/ -name "override.conf" -exec sed -i 's|/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/.venv/bin/python3|/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python3|g' {} \; 2>/dev/null || true systemctl daemon-reload # 3. Move central config to standard location cp /opt/aitbc/.env /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env.backup 2>/dev/null || true mv /opt/aitbc/.env /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env 2>/dev/null || true # 4.

Verify setup aitbc --help 2>/dev/null || echo "CLI available but limited commands" ls -la /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env ``` ## Directory Structure - `/opt/aitbc/venv` - Central Python virtual environment - `/opt/aitbc/requirements.txt` - Python dependencies - `/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env` - Central environment configuration - `/var/lib/aitbc/data` - Blockchain database files - `/var/lib/aitbc/keystore` - Wallet credentials - `/var/log/aitbc/` - Service logs ## Steps ### Environment Configuration The workflow uses the central `/etc/aitbc/blockchain.env` file as the configuration for both nodes: - **Base Configuration**: The central config contains all default settings - **Node-Specific Adaptation**: Each node adapts the config for its role (genesis vs follower) - **Path Updates**: Paths are updated to use the standardized directory structure - **Backup Strategy**: Original config is backed up before modifications - **Standard Location**: Config moved to `/etc/aitbc/` following system standards - **CLI Integration**: AITBC CLI tool uses this config file by default ### 🚨 Important: Genesis Block Architecture **CRITICAL**: Only the genesis authority node (aitbc1) should have the genesis block! ```bash # āŒ WRONG - Do NOT copy genesis block to follower nodes # scp aitbc1:/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/genesis.json aitbc:/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/ # āœ… CORRECT - Follower nodes sync genesis via blockchain protocol # aitbc will automatically receive genesis block from aitbc1 during sync ``` **Architecture Overview:** 1. **aitbc1 (Genesis Authority)**: Creates genesis block with initial wallets 2. **aitbc (Follower Node)**: Syncs from aitbc1, receives genesis block automatically 3. **Wallet Creation**: New wallets attach to existing blockchain using genesis keys 4. **Access AIT Coins**: Genesis wallets control initial supply, new wallets receive via transactions **Key Principles:** - **Single Genesis Source**: Only aitbc1 creates and holds the original genesis block - **Blockchain Sync**: Followers receive blockchain data through sync protocol, not file copying - **Wallet Attachment**: New wallets attach to existing chain, don't create new genesis - **Coin Access**: AIT coins are accessed through transactions from genesis wallets ### 1. Prepare aitbc1 (Genesis Authority Node) ```bash # We are already on aitbc1 node (localhost) # No SSH needed - running locally # Pull latest code cd /opt/aitbc git pull origin main # Install/update dependencies /opt/aitbc/venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt # Check and create required directories if they don't exist mkdir -p /var/lib/aitbc/data /var/lib/aitbc/keystore /etc/aitbc /var/log/aitbc # Verify directories exist ls -la /var/lib/aitbc/ || echo "Creating /var/lib/aitbc/ structure..." # Copy and adapt central .env for aitbc1 (genesis authority) cp /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env.aitbc1.backup # Update .env for aitbc1 genesis authority configuration sed -i 's|proposer_id=.*|proposer_id=aitbc1genesis|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|keystore_path=/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/keystore|keystore_path=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|keystore_password_file=/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/keystore/.password|keystore_password_file=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|db_path=./data/ait-mainnet/chain.db|db_path=/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|enable_block_production=true|enable_block_production=true|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|gossip_broadcast_url=redis://127.0.0.1:6379|gossip_broadcast_url=redis://localhost:6379|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|p2p_bind_port=8005|p2p_bind_port=7070|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env # Add trusted proposers for follower nodes echo "trusted_proposers=aitbc1genesis" >> /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env # Create genesis block with wallets (using Python script until CLI is fully implemented) cd /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node /opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python scripts/setup_production.py \ --base-dir /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node \ --chain-id ait-mainnet \ --total-supply 1000000000 # Get actual genesis wallet address and update config GENESIS_ADDR=$(cat /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json | jq -r '.address') echo "Genesis address: $GENESIS_ADDR" sed -i "s|proposer_id=.*|proposer_id=$GENESIS_ADDR|g" /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i "s|trusted_proposers=.*|trusted_proposers=$GENESIS_ADDR|g" /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env # Copy genesis and allocations to standard location mkdir -p /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet cp /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/data/ait-mainnet/genesis.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/ cp /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/data/ait-mainnet/allocations.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/ cp /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/keystore/* /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/ # Note: systemd services should already use /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env # No need to update systemd if they are properly configured # Enable and start blockchain services systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc # Monitor startup journalctl -f -u aitbc-blockchain-node -u aitbc-blockchain-rpc ``` ### 2. Verify aitbc1 Genesis State ```bash # Check blockchain state curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq . curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/info | jq . curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/supply | jq . # Check genesis wallet balance GENESIS_ADDR=$(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json | jq -r '.address') curl -s "http://localhost:8006/rpc/getBalance/$GENESIS_ADDR" | jq . ``` ### 3. Prepare aitbc (Follower Node) ```bash # SSH to aitbc ssh aitbc # Pull latest code cd /opt/aitbc git pull origin main # Install/update dependencies /opt/aitbc/venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt # Check and create required directories if they don't exist mkdir -p /var/lib/aitbc/data /var/lib/aitbc/keystore /etc/aitbc /var/log/aitbc # Verify directories exist ls -la /var/lib/aitbc/ || echo "Creating /var/lib/aitbc/ structure..." # Copy and adapt central .env for aitbc (follower node) cp /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env.aitbc.backup # Update .env for aitbc follower node configuration sed -i 's|proposer_id=.*|proposer_id=follower-node-aitbc|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|keystore_path=/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/keystore|keystore_path=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|keystore_password_file=/opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node/keystore/.password|keystore_password_file=/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|db_path=./data/ait-mainnet/chain.db|db_path=/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|enable_block_production=true|enable_block_production=false|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|gossip_broadcast_url=redis://127.0.0.1:6379|gossip_broadcast_url=redis://10.1.223.40:6379|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|p2p_bind_port=8005|p2p_bind_port=7070|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env sed -i 's|trusted_proposers=.*|trusted_proposers=ait1apmaugx6csz50q07m99z8k44llry0zpl0yurl23hygarcey8z85qy4zr96|g' /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env # Note: aitbc should sync genesis from aitbc1, not copy it # The follower node will receive the genesis block via blockchain sync # āš ļø DO NOT: scp aitbc1:/var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/genesis.json /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/ # āœ… INSTEAD: Wait for automatic sync via blockchain protocol # Note: systemd services should already use /etc/aitbc/blockchain.env # No need to update systemd if they are properly configured # Stop any existing services and clear old data systemctl stop aitbc-blockchain-* 2>/dev/null || true rm -f /var/lib/aitbc/data/ait-mainnet/chain.db* # Start follower services systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc systemctl start aitbc-blockchain-node aitbc-blockchain-rpc # Monitor sync journalctl -f -u aitbc-blockchain-node -u aitbc-blockchain-rpc ``` ### 4. Watch Blockchain Sync ```bash # On aitbc, monitor sync progress watch -n 2 'curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height' # Compare with aitbc1 ssh aitbc1 'curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height' # Alternative: Batch sync for faster initial setup if [ $(curl -s http://localhost:8006/rpc/head | jq .height) -lt 10 ]; then echo "Importing first 10 blocks from aitbc1..." for height in {2..10}; do curl -s "http://10.1.223.40:8006/rpc/blocks-range?start=$height&end=$height" | \ jq '.blocks[0]' > /tmp/block$height.json curl -X POST http://localhost:8006/rpc/importBlock \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @/tmp/block$height.json echo "Imported block $height" done fi ``` ### 5. Create Wallet on aitbc ```bash # On aitbc, create a new wallet using Python script (CLI not fully implemented) ssh aitbc 'cd /opt/aitbc/apps/blockchain-node && /opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python scripts/keystore.py --name aitbc-user --create --password $(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/.password)' # Note the new wallet address WALLET_ADDR=$(ssh aitbc 'cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc-user.json | jq -r .address') echo "New wallet: $WALLET_ADDR" ``` **šŸ”‘ Wallet Attachment & Coin Access:** The newly created wallet on aitbc will: 1. **Attach to Existing Blockchain**: Connect to the blockchain created by aitbc1 2. **Use Genesis Keys**: Access the blockchain using the genesis block's cryptographic keys 3. **Receive AIT Coins**: Get coins through transactions from genesis wallets 4. **No New Genesis**: Does NOT create a new genesis block or chain **Important Notes:** - The wallet attaches to the existing blockchain network - AIT coins are transferred from genesis wallets, not created - The wallet can only transact after receiving coins from genesis - All wallets share the same blockchain, created by aitbc1 ### 6. Send 1000 AIT from Genesis to aitbc Wallet ```bash # On aitbc1, send 1000 AIT using Python script (CLI not fully implemented) GENESIS_KEY=$(/opt/aitbc/venv/bin/python -c " import json, sys from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric import ed25519 from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead import AESGCM from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2 import PBKDF2HMAC from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes with open('/var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json') as f: ks = json.load(f) # Decrypt private key crypto = ks['crypto'] salt = bytes.fromhex(crypto['kdfparams']['salt']) kdf = PBKDF2HMAC(hashes.SHA256(), 32, salt, crypto['kdfparams']['c']) key = kdf.derive('aitbc123'.encode()) aesgcm = AESGCM(key) nonce = bytes.fromhex(crypto['cipherparams']['nonce']) priv = aesgcm.decrypt(nonce, bytes.fromhex(crypto['ciphertext']), None) print(priv.hex()) ") # Create and submit transaction TX_JSON=$(cat << EOF { "sender": "$(cat /var/lib/aitbc/keystore/aitbc1genesis.json | jq -r .address)", "recipient": "$WALLET_ADDR", "value": 1000, "fee": 10, "nonce": 0, "type": "transfer", "payload": {} } EOF ) curl -X POST http://localhost:8006/sendTx \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "$TX_JSON" # Wait for transaction to be mined sleep 15 # Verify balance on aitbc ssh aitbc "curl -s \"http://localhost:8006/rpc/getBalance/$WALLET_ADDR\" | jq ." ``` ### 7.
