Changelog

Updating Eth Docker

To update the components of Eth Docker, run from within its directory (cd ~/eth-docker by default):

• ./ethd update. This fetches new client version(s), a new Eth Docker, and updates .env, keeping your modifications. If you want to reset the source or binary build targets in .env, run ./ethd update --refresh-targets instead.
• ./ethd up - use the new client version(s)

On 1/27/2022, Eth Docker's repository name changed. Everything should work as it did. If you do wish to manually update your local reference, run git remote set-url origin https://github.com/eth-educators/eth-docker.git

This is an optional upgrade, that contains new features

• Erigon (still in alpha) now syncs a pruned DB
• ./ethd config now queries the user for desired Graffiti
• sudo ./ethd update now does a root-safe git pull to update eth-docker itself, and uses a different mechanism to redirect error messages for docker-compose pull, so it can update components like node-exporter with good UX.

v1.2.4 2021-06-05

This is a bugfix upgrade

• ./ethd update no longer attempts to docker-compose pull or git pull. In some instances the expected error messages from docker-compose pull were not redirected to /dev/null, and updating ancillary components while throwing a bevy of error messages is terrible UX.

• Note this change will cause warning messages, as both ETH1_ and EC_ variable names are supported. This backwards compatibility will be removed after "Altair", expected August 2021

• Removed OpenEthereum from ./ethd config as a choice. OpenEthereum will remain a supported execution client until Shanghai, to give users time to migrate.

• If you are using any version prior to v1.0.0 released 2021-05-06: PLEASE UPDATE BEFORE October 2021. The script that adjusts permissions for existing setups will be removed again at that point, and any setups that haven't updated by then would have permissions issues when they do update.

v1.0.0 2021-05-06

This is an optional upgrade, that contains bugfixes and new features

With funding from the Ethereum Foundation, we are at v1.0.0! This update makes significant changes to the way permissions are handled. While this should improve your experience, please be aware that your .env file should likely be re-created with a fresh copy of default.env, and your specific changes copied in. See above for instructions.

• LOCAL_UID is no longer being used in .env
• Beacon and Ethereum node containers now run with a "high" user ID, not the user ID of the logged-in user. In order to make this seamless, they use a docker-entrypoint script that changes permissions of existing setups on the fly
• PLEASE UPDATE BEFORE October 2021. The entrypoint script will be removed again at that point, and any setups that haven't updated by then would have permissions issues when they do update.
• Prysm now runs on the Prater testnet without the need to manually pass in the genesis state
• Source builds for Nimbus, Prysm have been fixed; all source builds tested
• docker-compose build --pull is now much faster
• deposit-cli has been removed from the CLIENT-base.yml files. If you do wish to use it, rather than generating keys offline, please add deposit-cli.yml to COMPOSE_FILE
• deposit-cli services have been renamed to deposit-cli-new and deposit-cli-existing
• The validator-voluntary-exit service has been renamed to just validator-exit
• Support for voluntary validator exit when using Teku

This is an optional upgrade, that adds new features

• Added Traefik reverse proxy for secure access to Grafana and Prysm Web, even eth1 clients. Note this is a breaking change for existing Grafana, Prysm Web and shared/standalone eth1 clients. You will need to add grafana-insecure.yml, prysm-web-insecure.yml, eth1-insecure.yml, depending on service you use, to your COMPOSE_FILE inside .env. Alternatively and recommended, add traefik-cf.yml or traefik-aws.yml and start using secure https:// ! Please see reverse proxy instructions.

• If you are upgrading this project and you are using Prysm, please run sudo docker-compose run validator and accept the terms of use. You can then Ctrl-C that process and start up normally again. This step is not necessary if you are starting from scratch.

v0.1.6 2020-10-09

• Support for Lighthouse v0.3.0, drop support for v0.2.x
  • Please note that Lighthouse v0.3.x makes a breaking change to the beacon db. You will need to sync again from scratch, after building the new v0.3.0 beacon image. You can force this with sudo docker-compose down, sudo docker volume rm eth2-docker_lhbeacon-data (adjust to your directory path if you are not in eth2-docker, see sudo docker volume ls for a list).
  • Likewise, the location of the validator keystore has changed. The fastest way to resolve this involves importing the keystore from scratch: sudo docker volume rm eth2-docker_lhvalidator-data (as before, adjust for your directory), and then import the keystore(s) again with sudo docker-compose run validator-import. Your keystore(s) need to be in .eth2/validator_keys inside the project directory for that.
  • When you have completed the above steps, bring up Lighthouse with sudo docker-compose up -d eth2 and verify that the beacon started syncing and the validator found its public key(s) by observing logs:
    sudo docker-compose logs -f beacon and sudo docker-compose logs validator | head -30, and if you wish to see ongoing validator logs, sudo docker-compose logs -f validator.
  • The beacon will sync from scratch, which will take about half a day. Your validator will be marked offline for that duration.
