| 66 | +## Workflow |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +### Step 1: Check Prerequisites |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +1. Verify erigon binary exists at `./build/bin/erigon`. If not, invoke `/erigon-build`. |
| 71 | +2. Verify the Lighthouse Docker image is available: |
| 72 | + ```bash |
| 73 | + docker image inspect ethpandaops/lighthouse:bal-devnet-2-65bb283 > /dev/null 2>&1 |
| 74 | + ``` |
| 75 | + If not, pull it: |
| 76 | + ```bash |
| 77 | + docker pull ethpandaops/lighthouse:bal-devnet-2-65bb283 |
| 78 | + ``` |
| 79 | +3. Verify config files exist in `$WORKDIR` (genesis.json, testnet-config/). |
| 80 | + If not, download them: |
| 81 | + ```bash |
| 82 | + mkdir -p $WORKDIR/testnet-config |
| 83 | + curl -sL -o $WORKDIR/genesis.json https://config.bal-devnet-2.ethpandaops.io/el/genesis.json |
| 84 | + curl -sL -o $WORKDIR/testnet-config/config.yaml https://config.bal-devnet-2.ethpandaops.io/cl/config.yaml |
| 85 | + curl -sL -o $WORKDIR/testnet-config/genesis.ssz https://config.bal-devnet-2.ethpandaops.io/cl/genesis.ssz |
| 86 | + echo "0" > $WORKDIR/testnet-config/deposit_contract_block.txt |
| 87 | + echo "0" > $WORKDIR/testnet-config/deploy_block.txt |
| 88 | + ``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### Step 2: Initialize Datadir (first run only) |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +If `$WORKDIR/erigon-data/chaindata` does not exist: |
| 93 | +```bash |
| 94 | +./build/bin/erigon init --datadir $WORKDIR/erigon-data $WORKDIR/genesis.json |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### Step 3: Create Scripts (first run only) |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +If the start/stop/clean scripts don't exist yet, generate them. The scripts must use absolute paths based on `$WORKDIR`. Key details: |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +**start-erigon.sh** — Runs erigon with `--externalcl`. Must start FIRST (creates JWT secret). |
| 102 | +- Env vars: `ERIGON_EXEC3_PARALLEL=true`, `ERIGON_ASSERT=true`, `ERIGON_EXEC3_WORKERS=12`, `LOG_HASH_MISMATCH_REASON=true` |
| 103 | +- Flags: `--datadir=$WORKDIR/erigon-data`, `--externalcl`, `--networkid=7033429093`, all 16 EL bootnodes, erigon static peers, `--prune.mode=minimal`, all offset ports (see port table), `--http.api=eth,erigon,engine,debug`, `--pprof`, `--metrics` |
| 104 | +- EL bootnodes: fetch from `https://config.bal-devnet-2.ethpandaops.io/api/v1/nodes/inventory` (extract enode URLs from `execution.enode` fields) |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +**start-lighthouse.sh** — Runs Lighthouse via Docker with `--network=host`. Must start SECOND. |
| 107 | +- Checks JWT exists at `$WORKDIR/erigon-data/jwt.hex` |
| 108 | +- Docker container name: `bal-devnet-2-lighthouse` |
| 109 | +- Mounts: `$WORKDIR/testnet-config:/config:ro`, `$WORKDIR/lighthouse-data:/data`, JWT as `/jwt.hex:ro` |
| 110 | +- Flags: `--testnet-dir=/config`, `--execution-endpoint=http://127.0.0.1:8651`, `--execution-jwt=/jwt.hex`, all 15 CL ENR bootnodes, offset ports, `--checkpoint-sync-url=https://checkpoint-sync.bal-devnet-2.ethpandaops.io` |
| 111 | +- CL bootnodes: fetch from same inventory URL (extract ENR entries from `consensus.enr` fields) |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +**stop.sh** — Stops Lighthouse (`docker stop bal-devnet-2-lighthouse`) then erigon (`pkill -f "datadir.*bal-devnet-2/erigon-data"`). |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +**clean.sh** — Runs `stop.sh`, removes erigon chain data (chaindata, snapshots, txpool, nodes, temp) and lighthouse data, re-initializes genesis. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +### Step 4: Start Erigon (FIRST) |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +Erigon must start first because it creates the JWT secret that Lighthouse needs. |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +```bash |
| 122 | +cd $WORKDIR && nohup bash start-erigon.sh > erigon-console.log 2>&1 & |
| 123 | +``` |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +Verify it started: |
| 126 | +- Check `tail $WORKDIR/erigon-console.log` for startup messages |
| 127 | +- Check JWT exists: `ls $WORKDIR/erigon-data/jwt.hex` |
| 128 | +- Check port binding: `ss -tlnp | grep 8651` |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### Step 5: Start Lighthouse (SECOND) |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +After erigon is running and JWT exists: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +```bash |
| 135 | +cd $WORKDIR && nohup bash start-lighthouse.sh > lighthouse-console.log 2>&1 & |
| 136 | +``` |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +Verify it started: |
| 139 | +- Check `tail $WORKDIR/lighthouse-console.log` for "Lighthouse started" |
| 140 | +- Look for "Loaded checkpoint block and state" (checkpoint sync) |
| 141 | +- Look for `peers: "N"` showing peer connections |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +### Step 6: Monitor |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +```bash |
| 146 | +# Erigon sync progress |
| 147 | +tail -f $WORKDIR/erigon-console.log |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +# Lighthouse sync progress |
| 150 | +tail -f $WORKDIR/lighthouse-console.log |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +# Check erigon block height via RPC |
| 153 | +curl -s http://localhost:8645 -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 154 | + -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' | python3 -m json.tool |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +# Check lighthouse sync status |
| 157 | +curl -s http://localhost:5152/eth/v1/node/syncing | python3 -m json.tool |
| 158 | +``` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +### Step 7: Stop |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +```bash |
| 163 | +bash $WORKDIR/stop.sh |
| 164 | +``` |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +This stops Lighthouse (via `docker stop`) then erigon (via `pkill`). |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +### Step 8: Clean (wipe data and re-init) |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +```bash |
| 171 | +bash $WORKDIR/clean.sh |
| 172 | +``` |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +This runs `stop.sh`, removes erigon chain data (chaindata, snapshots, txpool, nodes, temp) and lighthouse data, then re-initializes genesis. After clean, start again with Steps 4-5. |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +| Problem | Solution | |
| 179 | +|---------|----------| |
| 180 | +| JWT auth fails | Ensure erigon started first and `jwt.hex` exists. Lighthouse must mount the same file. | |
| 181 | +| No EL peers | Check firewall allows port 30403. Try adding `--nat=extip:<your-ip>`. | |
| 182 | +| No CL peers | Check firewall allows port 9100/9101. ENR bootnodes may have changed — re-fetch from inventory. | |
| 183 | +| "Head is optimistic" | Normal during initial sync. Erigon is behind Lighthouse. Will resolve as erigon catches up. | |
| 184 | +| Engine API timeout | Check erigon is running and authrpc port 8651 is accessible. | |
| 185 | +| Port conflict | Check `ss -tlnp | grep <port>`. Kill conflicting process or use higher offset. | |
