Ethereum Swarm Beekeeper
Table of Contents
Introduction
Ethereum Swarm Beekeeper is tool used for orchestrating cluster of Ethereum Swarm Bee and running integration tests and simulations against it in the Kubernetes.
Requirements
Installation
make binary
cp dist/beekeeper /usr/local/bin/beekeeper
Run unit tests
Runs available unit tests in pkg folder
make test
Configuration
Beekeeper is configured with:
- config file - sets Beekeeper's internals, and
- config directory - sets Bee cluster configuration, checks and simulations
Config file
Config file is used to set Beekeeper internals:
- config directory location
- Kubernetes client
- Swap client
Default location for config file is: $HOME/.beekeeper.yaml
Location can also be set with --config flag.
example:
config-dir: <user home dir>/.beekeeper/
config-git-repo: ""
config-git-branch: main
config-git-username: <GitHub username>
config-git-password: <GitHub Personal Access Token>
enable-k8s: true
in-cluster: false
kubeconfig: "~/.kube/config"
geth-url: http://geth-swap.geth-swap.dai.internal
bzz-token-address: 0x6aab14fe9cccd64a502d23842d916eb5321c26e7
eth-account: 0x62cab2b3b55f341f10348720ca18063cdb779ad5
log-verbosity: "info"
loki-endpoint: http://loki.testnet.internal/loki/api/v1/push
Beekeeper reads config-dir from a local machine by default, but it also supports reading config-dir from a Git repo. If field config-git-repo is set, it will override config-dir and configuration will be read from a Git repo.
If config-dir is kept in a Git repo, field config-git-repo should point to it, along with config-git-branch specifying proper branch. Fields config-git-username and config-git-password can be set when repo is private.
Official GitHub repository with Beekeeper's configuration is https://github.com/ethersphere/beekeeper-config
NOTE: command flags can be also set through the config file
Config directory
Config directory is used to group configuration (.yaml) files describing:
- Bee cluster setup in Kubernetes
- checks (integration tests), and
- simulations
Default location for config dir is: $HOME/.beekeeper/
Location can also be set with --config-dir flag.
Examples of .yaml files can be found in the Beekeeper repo.
Config dir's .yaml files have several main blocks:
- clusters - defines clusters Beekeeper works with
- node-groups - defines Bee node groups that are part of the cluster. Node group is a collection of Bee nodes sharing same configuration parameters.
- bee-configs - defines Bee configuration that can be assigned to node-groups
- checks - defines checks Beekeeper can execute against the cluster
- simulations - defines simulations Beekeeper can execute against the cluster
- stages - defines stages for dynamic execution of checks and simulations
Inheritance
Inheritance can be set through the field _inherit.
Clusters, node-groups and bee-configs blocks support inheritance.
example:
bee-configs:
light-node:
_inherit: default
full-node: false
This setting means that light-node bee-config will inherit all parameters from the default bee-config, overriding only full-node parameter.
Action types
Action types can be set in every check or simulation definition.
Action types allow defining same check or simulation with different parameters.
example:
checks:
pushsync-chunks:
options:
chunks-per-node: 1
metrics-enabled:
mode: chunks
postage-amount: 1000
postage-depth: 16
postage-wait: 5s
retries: 5
retry-delay: 1s
upload-node-count: 1
timeout: 5m
type: pushsync
pushsync-light-chunks:
options:
chunks-per-node: 1
metrics-enabled:
mode: light-chunks
postage-amount: 1000
postage-depth: 16
postage-wait: 5s
retries: 5
retry-delay: 1s
upload-node-count: 1
timeout: 5m
type: pushsync
This setting means that pushsync check can be executed choosing pushsync-chunks or pushsync-light-chunks variation.
