Docker Compose Setup for PostgreSQL and External Node

This repository contains a Docker Compose setup for running a PostgreSQL database and an external node service. The setup is designed to be used with a specific external node version, and it configures the PostgreSQL instance with custom settings tailored for performance.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Usage

1. Clone this repository.
2. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed.
3. Run docker compose --file testnet-external-node.yml up -d to start the services.
4. The services will be up and running as per the configurations defined in the testnet-external-node.yml for the testnet.

Services

1. PostgreSQL

• Image: postgres:14
• Exposed Ports: 5430
• Volumes: mainnet-postgres (Persistent storage for PostgreSQL data)
• Environment Variables:
  • POSTGRES_PASSWORD: Password for the PostgreSQL user.
  • PGPORT: Port number on which PostgreSQL will listen.
• Custom Configuration Parameters:
  • max_connections=200
  • log_error_verbosity=terse
  • shared_buffers=2GB
  • effective_cache_size=4GB
  • maintenance_work_mem=1GB
  • checkpoint_completion_target=0.9
  • random_page_cost=1.1
  • effective_io_concurrency=200
  • min_wal_size=4GB
  • max_wal_size=16GB
  • max_worker_processes=16
  • checkpoint_timeout=1800
• Healthcheck:
  • Runs a query to check if the PostgreSQL instance is ready.

2. External Node

• Image: matterlabs/external-node:v29.1.2
• Depends on: PostgreSQL service (ensures the service starts after PostgreSQL is healthy)
• Ports:
  • 3060 (HTTP)
  • 3061 (WebSocket)
  • 3081 (Healthcheck)
  • 3322 (Prometheus)
• Volumes: mainnet-rocksdb (Persistent storage for RocksDB data)
• Environment Variables:
  • DATABASE_URL: Connection URL for the PostgreSQL instance.
  • DATABASE_POOL_SIZE: Size of the database connection pool.
  • EN_HTTP_PORT: Port for the HTTP server.
  • EN_WS_PORT: Port for the WebSocket server.
  • EN_HEALTHCHECK_PORT: Port for the health check.
  • EN_PROMETHEUS_PORT: Port for Prometheus metrics.
  • EN_ETH_CLIENT_URL: URL of the Ethereum client.
  • EN_MAIN_NODE_URL: URL of the main node.
  • EN_L1_CHAIN_ID: Layer 1 chain ID.
  • EN_L2_CHAIN_ID: Layer 2 chain ID.
  • EN_L1_BATCH_COMMIT_DATA_GENERATOR_MODE: Mode for batch commit data generator.
  • EN_STATE_CACHE_PATH: Path for the state cache.
  • EN_MERKLE_TREE_PATH: Path for the Merkle tree.
  • EN_SNAPSHOTS_RECOVERY_ENABLED: Enable or disable snapshots recovery.
  • RUST_LOG: Log level settings.
  • EN_DA_CLIENT: DA client configuration.
  • EN_DA_AVAIL_CLIENT_TYPE: "FullClient"
  • EN_DA_BRIDGE_API_URL: Avail Bridge API URL
  • EN_DA_TIMEOUT_MS: "20000"
  • EN_DA_API_NODE_URL: Avail API Node URL
  • EN_DA_APP_ID: Avail App ID
  • EN_DA_SECRETS_SEED_PHRASE: A randomly generated seed phrase, it is just needed to initialize a client that will verify your blobs, no transactions will be send from that account, so it is ok if it is freshly created and has no balance.

Volumes

• mainnet-postgres: Stores PostgreSQL data.
• mainnet-rocksdb: Stores RocksDB data for the external node.
