Ethereum Hackweek

This repo contains examples to work with Ethereum Blockchain & Smart Contracts.

Containers

This project has incorporated containers to aid development.

geth runs in a container because then we don't need to worry about getting geth installed on CTC VDIs. See the geth/ dir.

truffle development tools are run out of a container because then we have easy and full control of npm, node and truffle versions. See the docker/ dir.

ganache can also be run out of a container. See the docker/ dir.

Development example. Deploy to Goerli.

  1. Build the truffle-dev container. In the docker/ dir run the ./build_truffle_dev.sh script. If you've already built the container, then don't repeat.
  2. Run geth: cd geth and run script ./run_geth_example
  3. geth will now be available on default port 8545. Leave it running in that terminal.
  4. In a new terminal, cd into your project (ie projects/Lottery)
  5. Start the truffle dev container: sudo podman run -it -v $PWD:/workspace --entrypoint=/bin/bash --network=host truffle-dev (Find that command in the docker/ dir also.)
  6. Run npm install in the truffle-dev container to install necessary javascript dependencies.
  7. Run truffle migrate --network geth to deploy to Goerli!

Slight modification: Deploy to Ganache

Skip steps 2. and 3. above. Instead see docker/build_ganache_dev.sh for how to build and run Ganache:

$ sudo podman build --no-cache --format docker --rm -t ganache -f ./ganache/
$ sudo podman run -it --network=host ganache

Leave the terminal running like you did with geth. Now from within the truffle-dev container run: truffle migrate --network ganache.

Basic Smart Contracts

Smart contracts are the .sol files. They can be built with the build.sh script like this:

$ ./build.sh my_smart_contract.sol

The build file (a JSON file) will be output to the build/ dir.

More Basic Setup

Installing Ethereum, Solidity Compiler (solc) and an Ethereum client like Geth is shown in the install_eth_solidity.sh script.

Running a Client (Geth)

Scripts to boot up both Cleft (to serve keys) and Geth (an Ethereum client) are in the geth/ dir. A script to create keys with Cleft is also included. Cleft should be booted up before Geth. Geth needs to connect to Geth. See the Geth basics link below for full details.
