1. 中继链部署

中继链用于应用链的跨链管理,以及跨链交易的可信验证与可靠路由,是一种实现IBTP协议的开放许可链。部署中继链节点主要是三个步骤:安装包获取(准备)、配置文件修改和程序启动,下面依次进行说明。

安装包获取

您可以自行拉取BitXHub项目的源码,然后在本地编译BitXHub及插件的二进制文件,具体操作步骤可参考如下:

# 1. 首先拉取bitxhub项目源代码
git clone https://github.com/meshplus/bitxhub.git
# 2. 进入bitxhub目录,切换到指定的分支或版本后编译bitxhub二进制
cd bitxhub && git checkout v2.8.0 && make build
# 注意⚠️:首次编译需要在build之前先执行 make prepare 完成依赖安装
# 编译完成后可以在项目的bin目录下看到刚刚生成的bitxhub二进制文件,可以确认下bitxhub版本是v2.8.0
./bin/bitxhub version
# 注意⚠️:v2.8.0版本的bitxhub共识通过模块化的方式提供

提示:在bitxhub v1.7.0及以上的版本,我们也提供了一键生成部署所需的文件包的make命令:make release-binary,执行完成后可以在项目的dist目录看到符合您系统的压缩包,解压即可使用。

经过以上的步骤,相信您已经编译出了部署中继链节点所需的二进制文件。

除了源码编译外,我们也提供了直接下载BitXHub二进制的方式,下载地址链接如下:BitXHub二进制包下载,链接中已经包含了所需的二进制和依赖库,您只需跟据实际情况选择合适的版本和系统下载即可,建议使用最新的BitXHub发布版本。

快速启动BitXHub节点

获取到安装包后,接下来要根据您的实际情况修改配置文件。

如果您是在本地编译的二进制包,您也可以在项目根目录执行make cluster一键启动四节点raft共识的BitXHub集群,或者执行make solo一键启动单节点solo共识的BitXHub节点。 make cluster将通过tmux创建会话对4节点进程进行分屏显示,一键关闭bitxhub集群命令为tmux kill-session -t bitxhub

如果您是直接下载的二进制安装包,为了简化操作,我们也提供了可以直接启动raft/solo共识的节点配置文件示例,其下载地址与二进制包一样,文件名以example开头。需要注意的是,raft共识的示例配置文件是四节点集群,solo共识的示例配置文件是单个节点。 接下来只需将上一步下载的BitXHub二进制及对应插件拷贝到配置目录即可,具体操作如下:

# 1. 解压二进制压缩包
mkdir  ~/bitxhub && cd bitxhub

# 注意更改为二进制文件所在路径
cp ~/Downloads/bitxhub_darwin_x86_64_v2.8.0.tar.gz .
# 2. 解压配置文件压缩包(以raft共识为例)
tar -zxvf bitxhub_darwin_x86_64_v2.8.0.tar.gz

mkdir raft-nodes
tar -zxvf example_bitxhub_v2.8.0.tar.gz -C raft-nodes/
# 3. 将bitxhub和依赖库文件分别拷贝到4个节点的配置目录(以node1为例)
cp bitxhub raft-nodes/node1/
# 注意⚠️:节点2、3、4也需要执行上面拷贝操作
# 以上操作均是示例,执行时二进制和配置文件压缩包的名称可能存在差异,需要根据实际情况进行调整

拷贝完成后,可以进入各个节点的配置目录,依次启动BitXHub节点即可,启动操作如下:

cd bitxhub/raft-nodes/node1
bitxhub --repo ./ start

...
...

cd bitxhub/raft-nodes/node4
bitxhub --repo ./ start
# 注意上述启动方式是前台启动,如果需要后台启动,请自行使用nohup命令

待节点集群打印出bitxhub的LOGO,表示BitXHub集群开始正常工作

BitXHub配置文件说明

前面的提供的配置示例可以方便地快速启动BitXHub节点(集群),但是没有对配置文件进行具体说明,考虑到您可能需要详细了解bitxhub的运行原理和配置项的具体含义,从而可以灵活配置和启动节点,我们接下来对BitXHub的具体配置项进行说明。

中继链节点主要包括bitxhub.toml、network.tom和order.toml配置文件,分别代表节点本身、节点网络以及节点共识方面的配置,其中order.toml一般使用默认配置即可,其它两个文件均需要根据实际部署情况进行修改,接下来的内容依然以node1为例。

bitxhub.toml文件配置修改

bitxhub.toml文件是BitXHub节点启动的主要配置文件。各配置项说明如下:

配置项 说明
solo 是否按照单节点模式启动BitXHub
[port] gateway、grpc、pprof和monitor服务端口
[pprof] 性能剖析配置
[monitor] 监控服务配置
[gateway] 跨域配置
[ping] ping集群节点功能
[security] 证书体系
[tss] 门限签名
[limiter] 流量控制配置
[appchain] 同步以太坊区块头
[log] 日志输出相关设置
[cert] 是否开启认证节点p2p通信证书
[order] 共识模块,作为模块进行加载
[executor] 执行引擎类型
[crypto] 支持加密算法类型
[ledger] 账本类型
[genesis] 创世节点配置
[license] 商业版证书配置

在快速体验部署流程中,需要修改的配置一般只有port、order的信息,其它配置默认即可。 以下为示例参考:

  1. 根据您机器实际分配的端口进行变更:
    [port]
      jsonrpc = 8881
      grpc = 60011
      gateway = 9091
      pprof = 53121
      monitor = 40011
    
  2. 共识算法类型选择(开源版本目前支持raft和solo):
    [order]
     type = "raft" 
    
  3. 模块投票策略选择:
    ZeroPermission代表简单治理策略,不需要管理员投票通过,提案在发起后自动通过
    SimpleMajority代表简单多数策略,需要管理员投票通过,根据公式决定参与投票的人数,a代表通过的提案数,t代表总提案数,例如:a > 0.5 * t 代表通过提案超过半数
    [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "appchain_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
      [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "proposal_strategy_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
      [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "rule_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
      [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "node_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
      [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "service_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
      [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "role_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
      [[genesis.strategy]]
        module = "dapp_mgr"
        typ = "ZeroPermission"
        extra = ""
    

network.toml文件配置修改

network.toml文件是BitXHub节点网络配置文件,各配置项说明如下:

配置项 说明
id 当前节点标识
n 集群节点数量
new 判断当前节点是新加入的节点
[nodes] 集群节点信息
account 节点验证者地址
hosts 节点网络地址
id 节点标识
pid p2p网络唯一标识

在实际部署过程中,需要修改的配置一般是节点数量、nodes的信息,其它配置默认即可。 以下为示例参考

  1. 配置当前节点集群的数量以及自身的id:
id = 1 # self id
n = 4 # the number of vp nodes
new = false # track whether the node is a new node
  1. 配置集群中各个节点的信息
[[nodes]]
account = "0xc7F999b83Af6DF9e67d0a37Ee7e900bF38b3D013"
hosts = ["/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/4001/p2p/"]
id = 1
pid = "QmXi58fp9ZczF3Z5iz1yXAez3Hy5NYo1R8STHWKEM9XnTL"

说明:上面 account就是上一节中bitxhub节点的address地址,hosts中一般就改变ip地址即可,节点的pid信息可以通过如下命令获取:

bitxhub cert priv pid --path certs/node.priv
# 示例输出:QmWAaFDQ3p2Hj383WsBGU2nLMtsJk1aT9obXXXxL5UyUuA

order.toml文件配置修改

order.toml文件是bitxhub共识配置文件。各配置项说明如下:

配置项 说明
[raft] raft 相关配置
[rbft] rbft 相关配置
[solo] solo相关配置

配置示例如下(无特殊情况不要修改此配置):
