filecoin-network-sim

Server for https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-network-viz

Setup

go-filecoin

go-filecoin is required

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/filecoin-project/
git clone [email protected]:filecoin-project/go-filecoin.git
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/filecoin-project/go-filecoin
git checkout feat/extractTestDaemon
go run ./build/*.go deps
go run ./build/*.go build

filecoin-network-sim

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/filecoin-project/
git clone [email protected]:filecoin-project/filecoin-network-sim.git

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-network-sim
make deps
make
make runDebug

Run

make run

This will start the server, the network simulation, and open a browser window pointing at the visualization.

Warnings

• This will spawn a lot of go-filecoin processes, for running daemons and for running cli commands. Many of the commands will hang forever (fail to terminate) -- this is clearly a bug that needs to be fixed (time them out). Currently, your machine may run out of process descriptors if you leave it running indefinitely (don't do that...). (TODO: fix the bug...)
• Update wrt to the above comment, we think this is mosly fixed now, we recomend not going over 50 nodes in the simulator.
