Resolves #3912

Description

docs/config.md documents the acp.document.sourceHub.* params one by one, but nothing states which of them are needed together, that address is client-side while the rest are node-side, or how to get a SourceHub node to point them at.

Adds a "Using SourceHub for Document ACP" subsection to the access control section of the readme:

  • a table of the four node-side params plus the client-side address, and what each one is for
  • how the signing key goes into the keyring (it is a plain secp256k1 entry, per keyring/signer.go)
  • how to run a local node with the STANDALONE=1 image, which is the same way the integration tests bring SourceHub up
  • the config file and environment variable forms, with a note that only document-acp-type and source-hub-address are exposed as CLI flags
  • where the SourceHub version is pinned

Tasks

  • I made sure the code is well commented, particularly hard-to-understand areas.
  • I made sure the repository-held documentation is changed accordingly.
  • I made sure the pull request title adheres to the conventional commit style (the subset used in the project can be found in tools/configs/chglog/config.yml).
  • I made sure to discuss its limitations such as threats to validity, vulnerability to mistake and misuse, robustness to invalidation of assumptions, resource requirements, ...

How has this been tested?

Ran the standalone image and checked the endpoints the section claims:

$ docker run -d -e STANDALONE=1 -p 26657:26657 -p 9090:9090 ghcr.io/sourcenetwork/sourcehub:dev
$ curl -s http://127.0.0.1:26657/status
{"jsonrpc":"2.0",...,"network":"sourcehub-dev",...}
$ nc -z 127.0.0.1 9090
Connection to 127.0.0.1 port 9090 succeeded!

The container log prints the faucet account with the address source12d9hjf0639k995venpv675sju9ltsvf8u5c9jt, matching the constant in tests/integration/acp_dac_setup.go.

The config keys, their node/client split and the two CLI flag names were read off cli/start.go, cli/client.go and cli/config/config.go rather than assumed — the other three params have no flags and have to come from the config file or the environment.

Specify the platform(s) on which this was tested:

  • MacOS

The individual sourceHub config params were documented, but not which
ones are needed together, nor how to bring up a node to point them at.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

README.md adds an overview for SourceHub-backed Document ACP usage. It documents required parameters, keyring setup, local SourceHub deployment, account funding, configuration, environment variables, CLI limits, and compatible SourceHub revision.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f33b7

The PR adds SourceHub setup documentation, but the current README still gives a faucet-import path that depends on a mnemonic not printed by the standalone image and a funding command that omits the required container name or ID. Readers following the instructions may be unable to complete setup, so the documentation should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

It exposes gRPC on `9090` and Comet RPC on `26657`, and the chain is `sourcehub-dev`. The standalone image also creates a funded `faucet` account, whose mnemonic is printed in the container logs.

The account behind `KeyName` pays for the SourceHub transactions the node creates, and the faucet does not fund it automatically. Either import the faucet mnemonic as the node's key, or send funds to the address derived from the key already in the keyring:

Remove the claim that the faucet mnemonic is printed.

Standalone startup recovers the hard-coded mnemonic without printing it. Document the supported faucet-key source, or remove the import branch and keep the funded-KeyName flow.

Give the new docker exec command a usable container reference.

The preceding docker run command has no --name and runs in the foreground. The reader must open another terminal and discover an autogenerated container name or ID before replacing <container>. Add -d --name sourcehub to the run command and use docker exec sourcehub ..., or document the required docker ps lookup. The SourceHub image starts sourcehubd start as its default command, so the named container remains available for this step while it runs. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
