testnet init-files

Initialize config directories & files for a multi-validator testnet running locally via separate processes (e.g. Docker Compose or similar)

Synopsis​

init-files will setup "v" number of directories and populate each with necessary files (private validator, genesis, config, etc.) for running "v" validator nodes.

Booting up a network with these validator folders is intended to be used with Docker Compose, or a similar setup where each node has a manually configurable IP address.

Note, strict routability for addresses is turned off in the config file.

Example: evmosd testnet init-files --v 4 --output-dir ./.testnets --starting-ip-address 192.168.10.2

Options​

      --algo string                  Key signing algorithm to generate keys for 
      --chain-id string              genesis file chain-id, if left blank will be randomly created

      --keyring-backend string       Select keyring's backend (os|file|test)

      --node-daemon-home string      Home directory of the node's daemon configuration 
      --node-dir-prefix string       Prefix the directory name for each node with (node results in node0, node1, ...) 
  -o, --output-dir string            Directory to store initialization data for the testnet 
      --starting-ip-address string   Starting IP address (192.168.0.1 results in persistent peers list ID0@192.168.0.1:46656, ID1@192.168.0.2:46656, ...) 
      --v int                        Number of validators to initialize the testnet with (default 4)

Options inherited from parent commands​

      --home string         directory for config and data 
      --log_format string   The logging format (json|plain) 
      --log_level string    The logging level (trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal|panic)
