ckb-time-generator

The generator of ckb-time-scripts.

How to Work

• Clone and install every dependencies with npm.
• Install pm2 globally.
• Copy config/{env}.yaml to config/local-{env}.yaml, edit configs as needed.
• Run with npm run reload_testnet or npm run reload_mainnet base on environment.

Tool Commands

WARNING! Pnpm may not properly execute the following commands.

• npm run mainnet -- status -t timestamp check status of TimeCells and their IndexStateCell on-chain.
• npm run mainnet -- fix -t timestamp recycle redundant TimeCells and their IndexStateCell on-chain.
• npm run mainnet -- update -t timestamp keep updating TimeCells and their IndexStateCell on-chain.

The mainnet argument can also be changed to testnet. Similarly, besides using timestamp, the -t option can also be set as either height or quote. For further assistance, please refer to the help information by running npm run main -- --help.

Development

First, you need to create config/local-{env}.yaml, input private keys like below:

loglevel: 'debug'
timestamp:
  PayersPrivateKey: '0x000000000...'
blocknumber:
  PayersPrivateKey: '0x000000000...'
quote:
  PayersPrivateKey: '0x000000000...'

Then, you will be able to run commands in testnet environment like below:

npm run dev

npm run testnet -- {commands}

The testnet script will load config/local-testnet.yaml and config/testnet.yaml by default.

CKB Node Restart Script

Because of unstable network, sometimes the CKB node may disconnect from peers and stop syncing blocks. To solve this problem, the script scripts/ckb-node-monit.mjs can restart the CKB node automatically:

pm2 start --cron-restart="* * * * *" \
./scripts/ckb-node-monit.mjs -- \
--block-timeout 180 \
--log /path_to_ckb_node_log_dir/run.log \
--data ./ckb-node-status.json

The script needs permission to execute systemctl restart ckb-node command, so it is required to run it with root permission.
