System Requirements
===================
2020-08-02 16:23:40 +00:00
2021-07-19 11:11:39 +00:00
Recommend 2Tb storage space on a single partition: 1.3Tb state, 200GB temp files (can symlink or mount
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
folder `<datadir>/etl-tmp` to another disk).
2020-08-02 16:23:40 +00:00
RAM: 16GB, 64-bit architecture, [Golang version >= 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/install)
2020-08-02 16:23:40 +00:00

Usage
=====
2014-10-27 16:22:29 +00:00
### Getting Started
```sh
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon.git
cd erigon
make erigon
./build/bin/erigon
```
2015-04-28 10:13:42 +00:00
### Testnets
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
If you would like to give Erigon a try, but do not have spare 2Tb on your driver, a good option is to start syncing one
of the public testnets, Görli. It syncs much quicker, and does not take so much disk space:
2021-03-20 16:51:29 +00:00
```sh
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon.git
cd erigon
make erigon
./build/bin/erigon --datadir goerli --chain goerli
2021-03-20 16:51:29 +00:00
```
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
Please note the `--datadir` option that allows you to store Erigon files in a non-default location, in this example,
in `goerli` subdirectory of the current directory. Name of the directory `--datadir` does not have to match the name if
the chain in `--chain`.
2021-03-20 16:51:29 +00:00
2021-03-30 09:18:57 +00:00
### Mining
Support only remote-miners.
* To enable, add `--mine --miner.etherbase=...` or `--mine --miner.miner.sigkey=...` flags.
* Other supported options: `--miner.extradata`, `--miner.notify`, `--miner.gaslimit`, `--miner.gasprice`
, `--miner.gastarget`
* RPCDaemon supports methods: eth_coinbase , eth_hashrate, eth_mining, eth_getWork, eth_submitWork, eth_submitHashrate
* RPCDaemon supports websocket methods: newPendingTransaction
* TODO:
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00

<code> 🔬 Detailed mining explanation is [here](/docs/mining.md).</code>
### Windows
Windows users may run erigon in 3 possible ways:
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
* Build executable binaries natively for Windows using provided `wmake.ps1` PowerShell script. Usage syntax is the same
as `make` command so you have to run `.\wmake.ps1 [-target] <targetname>`. Example: `.\wmake.ps1 erigon` builds erigon
executable. All binaries are placed in `.\build\bin\` subfolder. There are some requirements for a successful native
build on windows :
* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) for Windows must be installed. If you're cloning this repository is very
likely you already have it
* [GO Programming Language](https://golang.org/dl/) must be installed. Minimum required version is 1.16
* If you need to build MDBX tools (i.e. `.\wmake.ps1 db-tools`)
then [Chocolatey package manager](https://chocolatey.org/) for Windows must be installed. By Chocolatey you need
to install the following components : `cmake`, `make`, `mingw` by `choco install cmake make mingw`.
**Important note about Anti-Viruses**
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
During MinGW's compiler detection phase some temporary executables are generated to test compiler capabilities. It's
been reported some anti-virus programs detect those files as possibly infected by `Win64/Kryptic.CIS` trojan horse (or
a variant of it). Although those are false positives we have no control over 100+ vendors of security products for
Windows and their respective detection algorythms and we understand this might make your experience with Windows
builds uncomfortable. To workaround the issue you might either set exlusions for your antivirus specifically
for `build\bin\mdbx\CMakeFiles` sub-folder of the cloned repo or you can run erigon using the following other two
options
* Use Docker : see [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml)
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
* Use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) **strictly on version 2**. Under this option you can build Erigon just as you
would on a regular Linux distribution. You can point your data also to any of the mounted Windows partitions (
eg. `/mnt/c/[...]`, `/mnt/d/[...]` etc) but in such case be advised performance is impacted: this is due to the fact
those mount points use `DrvFS` which is a [network file system](#blocks-execution-is-slow-on-cloud-network-drives)
and, additionally, MDBX locks the db for exclusive access which implies only one process at a time can access data.
This has consequences on the running of `rpcdaemon` which has to be configured as [Remote DB](#for-remote-db) even if
it is executed on the very same computer. If instead your data is hosted on the native Linux filesystem non
limitations apply.
**Please also note the default WSL2 environment has its own IP address which does not match the one of the network
interface of Windows host: take this into account when configuring NAT for port 30303 on your router.**
2021-03-03 08:35:12 +00:00
### Beacon Chain
2021-08-29 06:51:26 +00:00
Erigon can be used as an execution-layer for beacon chain consensus clients (Eth2). Default configuration is ok. Eth2
rely on availability of receipts - don't prune them: don't add
character `r` to `--prune` flag or set large `--prune.r.older=2_000_000`.
2021-08-29 06:51:26 +00:00
You must run the [JSON-RPC daemon](#json-rpc-daemon) in addition to the Erigon.
2021-08-29 06:51:26 +00:00
If beacon chain client on a different device: add `--http.addr 0.0.0.0` (JSON-RPC daemon listen on localhost by default).
Once the JSON-RPC daemon is running, all you need to do is point your beacon chain client to `<ip address>:8545`, where <ip address> is either localhost or the IP address of the device running the JSON-RPC daemon.
Erigon has been tested with Lighthouse however all other clients that support JSON-RPC should also work.
Key features
============
2015-04-28 10:13:42 +00:00
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
<code>🔬 See more
detailed [overview of functionality and current limitations](https://ledgerwatch.github.io/turbo_geth_release.html). It
is being updated on recurring basis.</code>
2015-04-28 10:13:42 +00:00
### More Efficient State Storage
2015-04-28 10:13:42 +00:00
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
**Flat KV storage.** Erigon uses a key-value database and storing accounts and storage in a simple way.
2020-08-02 15:56:56 +00:00
<code> 🔬 See our detailed DB walkthrough [here](./docs/programmers_guide/db_walkthrough.MD).</code>
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
**Preprocessing**. For some operations, Erigon uses temporary files to preprocess data before inserting it into the main
DB. That reduces write amplification and DB inserts are orders of magnitude quicker.
<code> 🔬 See our detailed ETL explanation [here](/common/etl/README.md).</code>
**Plain state**.
2014-02-14 23:04:46 +00:00
**Single accounts/state trie**. Erigon uses a single Merkle trie for both accounts and the storage.
2014-02-15 12:27:23 +00:00
### Faster Initial Sync
Erigon uses a rearchitected full sync algorithm from
[Go-Ethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum) that is split into
"stages".
<code>🔬 See more detailed explanation in the [Staged Sync Readme](/eth/stagedsync/README.md)</code>
2020-08-02 12:35:05 +00:00
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
It uses the same network primitives and is compatible with regular go-ethereum nodes that are using full sync, you do
not need any special sync capabilities for Erigon to sync.
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
When reimagining the full sync, we focused on batching data together and minimize DB overwrites. That makes it possible
to sync Ethereum mainnet in under 2 days if you have a fast enough network connection and an SSD drive.
Examples of stages are:
* Downloading headers;
* Downloading block bodies;
* Recovering senders' addresses;
* Executing blocks;
2019-06-13 13:23:22 +00:00
* Validating root hashes and building intermediate hashes for the state Merkle trie;
2019-06-13 13:23:22 +00:00
* [...]
### JSON-RPC daemon
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
In Erigon RPC calls are extracted out of the main binary into a separate daemon. This daemon can use both local or
remote DBs. That means, that this RPC daemon doesn't have to be running on the same machine as the main Erigon binary or
it can run from a snapshot of a database for read-only calls.
2020-08-02 15:56:56 +00:00
<code>🔬 See [RPC-Daemon docs](./cmd/rpcdaemon/README.md)</code>
#### **For local DB**
2021-03-20 16:55:13 +00:00
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
This is only possible if RPC daemon runs on the same computer as Erigon. This mode uses shared memory access to the
database of Erigon, which has better performance than accessing via TPC socket (see "For remote DB" section below).
Provide both `--datadir` and `--private.api.addr` options:
```sh
make erigon
./build/bin/erigon --private.api.addr=localhost:9090
make rpcdaemon
./build/bin/rpcdaemon --datadir=<your_data_dir> --private.api.addr=localhost:9090 --http.api=eth,erigon,web3,net,debug,trace,txpool,shh
```
#### **For remote DB**
2021-03-20 16:55:13 +00:00
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
This works regardless of whether RPC daemon is on the same computer with Erigon, or on a different one. They use TPC
socket connection to pass data between them. To use this mode, run Erigon in one terminal window

TableDatabase is a wrapper of underlying ethdb.Database with an additional prefix. The prefix is applied to all entries it maintains. However when we try to retrieve entries from it we don't handle the key properly. In theory the prefix should be truncated and only user key is returned. But we don't do it in some cases, e.g. the iterator and batch replayer created from it. So this PR is the fix to these issues. * eth: when triggering a sync, check the head header TD, not block * internal/web3ext: fix clique console apis to work on missing arguments * rpc: dont log an error if user configures --rpcapi=rpc... (#20776) This just prevents a false negative ERROR warning when, for some unknown reason, a user attempts to turn on the module rpc even though it's already going to be on. * node, cmd/clef: report actual port used for http rpc (#20789) * internal/ethapi: don't set sender-balance to maxuint, fixes #16999 (#20783) Prior to this change, eth_call changed the balance of the sender account in the EVM environment to 2^256 wei to cover the gas cost of the call execution. We've had this behavior for a long time even though it's super confusing. This commit sets the default call gasprice to zero instead of updating the balance, which is better because it makes eth_call semantics less surprising. Removing the built-in balance assignment also makes balance overrides work as expected. * metrics: disable CPU stats (gosigar) on iOS * cmd/devp2p: tweak DNS TTLs (#20801) * cmd/devp2p: tweak DNS TTLs * cmd/devp2p: bump treeNodeTTL to four weeks * cmd/devp2p: lower route53 change limit again (#20819) * cmd/devp2p: be very correct about route53 change splitting (#20820) Turns out the way RDATA limits work is documented after all, I just didn't search right. The trick to make it work is to count UPSERTs twice. This also adds an additional check to ensure TTL changes are applied on existing records. * graphql, node, rpc: fix typos in comments (#20824) * eth: improve shutdown synchronization (#20695) * eth: improve shutdown synchronization Most goroutines started by eth.Ethereum didn't have any shutdown sync at all, which lead to weird error messages when quitting the client. This change improves the clean shutdown path by stopping all internal components in dependency order and waiting for them to actually be stopped before shutdown is considered done. In particular, we now stop everything related to peers before stopping 'resident' parts such as core.BlockChain. * eth: rewrite sync controller * eth: remove sync start debug message * eth: notify chainSyncer about new peers after handshake * eth: move downloader.Cancel call into chainSyncer * eth: make post-sync block broadcast synchronous * eth: add comments * core: change blockchain stop message * eth: change closeBloomHandler channel type * eth/filters: fix typo on unindexedLogs function's comment (#20827) * core: bump txpool tx max size to 128KB * snapshotter/tests: verify snapdb post-state against trie (#20812) * core/state/snapshot: basic trie-to-hash implementation * tests: validate snapshot after test * core/state/snapshot: fix review concerns * cmd, consensus: add option to disable mmap for DAG caches/datasets (#20484) * cmd, consensus: add option to disable mmap for DAG caches/datasets * consensus: add benchmarks for mmap with/with lock * cmd/clef: add newaccount command (#20782) * cmd/clef: add newaccount command * cmd/clef: document clef_New, update API versioning * Update cmd/clef/intapi_changelog.md Co-Authored-By: ligi <ligi@ligi.de> * Update signer/core/uiapi.go Co-Authored-By: ligi <ligi@ligi.de> Co-authored-by: ligi <ligi@ligi.de> * eth: add debug_accountRange API (#19645) This new API allows reading accounts and their content by address range. Co-authored-by: Martin Holst Swende <martin@swende.se> Co-authored-by: Felix Lange <fjl@twurst.com> * travis: allow cocoapods deploy to fail (#20833) * metrics: improve TestTimerFunc (#20818) The test failed due to what appears to be fluctuations in time.Sleep, which is not the actual method under test. This change modifies it so we compare the metered Max to the actual time instead of the desired time. * README: update private network genesis spec with istanbul (#20841) * add istanbul and muirGlacier to genesis states in README * remove muirGlacier, relocate istanbul * cmd/evm: Rework execution stats (#20792) - Dump stats also for --bench flag. - From memory stats only show number and size of allocations. This is what `test -bench` shows. I doubt others like number of GC runs are any useful, but can be added if requested. - Now the mem stats are for single execution in case of --bench. * cmd/devp2p, cmd/wnode, whisper: add missing calls to Timer.Stop (#20843) * p2p/server: add UDP port mapping goroutine to wait group (#20846) * accounts/abi faster unpacking of int256 (#20850) * p2p/discv5: add missing Timer.Stop calls (#20853) * miner/worker: add missing timer.Stop call (#20857) * cmd/geth: fix bad genesis test (#20860) * eth/filters: add missing Ticker.Stop call (#20862) * eth/fetcher: add missing timer.Stop calls (#20861) * event: add missing timer.Stop call in TestFeed (#20868) * metrics: add missing calls to Ticker.Stop in tests (#20866) * ethstats: add missing Ticker.Stop call (#20867) * p2p/discv5, p2p/testing: add missing Timer.Stop calls in tests (#20869) * core: add missing Timer.Stop call in TestLogReorgs (#20870) * rpc: add missing timer.Stop calls in websocket tests (#20863) * crypto/ecies: improve concatKDF (#20836) This removes a bunch of weird code around the counter overflow check in concatKDF and makes it actually work for different hash output sizes. The overflow check worked as follows: concatKDF applies the hash function N times, where N is roundup(kdLen, hashsize) / hashsize. N should not overflow 32 bits because that would lead to a repetition in the KDF output. A couple issues with the overflow check: - It used the hash.BlockSize, which is wrong because the block size is about the input of the hash function. Luckily, all standard hash functions have a block size that's greater than the output size, so concatKDF didn't crash, it just generated too much key material. - The check used big.Int to compare against 2^32-1. - The calculation could still overflow before reaching the check. The new code in concatKDF doesn't check for overflow. Instead, there is a new check on ECIESParams which ensures that params.KeyLen is < 512. This removes any possibility of overflow. There are a couple of miscellaneous improvements bundled in with this change: - The key buffer is pre-allocated instead of appending the hash output to an initially empty slice. - The code that uses concatKDF to derive keys is now shared between Encrypt and Decrypt. - There was a redundant invocation of IsOnCurve in Decrypt. This is now removed because elliptic.Unmarshal already checks whether the input is a valid curve point since Go 1.5. Co-authored-by: Felix Lange <fjl@twurst.com> * rpc: metrics for JSON-RPC method calls (#20847) This adds a couple of metrics for tracking the timing and frequency of method calls: - rpc/requests gauge counts all requests - rpc/success gauge counts requests which return err == nil - rpc/failure gauge counts requests which return err != nil - rpc/duration/all timer tracks timing of all requests - rpc/duration/<method>/<success/failure> tracks per-method timing * mobile: use bind.NewKeyedTransactor instead of duplicating (#20888) It's better to reuse the existing code to create a keyed transactor than to rewrite the logic again. * internal/ethapi: add CallArgs.ToMessage method (#20854) ToMessage is used to convert between ethapi.CallArgs and types.Message. It reduces the length of the DoCall method by about half by abstracting out the conversion between the CallArgs and the Message. This should improve the code's maintainability and reusability. * eth, les: fix flaky tests (#20897) * les: fix flaky test * eth: fix flaky test * cmd/geth: enable metrics for geth import command (#20738) * cmd/geth: enable metrics for geth import command * cmd/geth: enable metrics-flags for import command * core/vm: use a callcontext struct (#20761) * core/vm: use a callcontext struct * core/vm: fix tests * core/vm/runtime: benchmark * core/vm: make intpool push inlineable, unexpose callcontext * docs/audits: add discv5 protocol audits from LA and C53 (#20898) * .github: change gitter reference to discord link in issue template (#20896) * couple of fixes to docs in clef (#20900) * p2p/discover: add initial discovery v5 implementation (#20750)This adds an implementation of the current discovery v5 spec.There is full integration with cmd/devp2p and enode.Iterator in thisversion. In theory we could enable the new protocol as a replacement ofdiscovery v4 at any time. In practice, there will likely be a few morechanges to the spec and implementation before this can happen. * build: upgrade to golangci-lint 1.24.0 (#20901) * accounts/scwallet: remove unnecessary uses of fmt.Sprintf * cmd/puppeth: remove unnecessary uses of fmt.Sprintf * p2p/discv5: remove unnecessary use of fmt.Sprintf * whisper/mailserver: remove unnecessary uses of fmt.Sprintf * core: goimports -w tx_pool_test.go * eth/downloader: goimports -w downloader_test.go * build: upgrade to golangci-lint 1.24.0 * accounts/abi/bind: Refactored topics (#20851) * accounts/abi/bind: refactored topics * accounts/abi/bind: use store function to remove code duplication * accounts/abi/bind: removed unused type defs * accounts/abi/bind: error on tuples in topics * Cosmetic changes to restart travis build Co-authored-by: Guillaume Ballet <gballet@gmail.com> * node: allow websocket and HTTP on the same port (#20810) This change makes it possible to run geth with JSON-RPC over HTTP and WebSocket on the same TCP port. The default port for WebSocket is still 8546. geth --rpc --rpcport 8545 --ws --wsport 8545 This also removes a lot of deprecated API surface from package rpc.

TableDatabase is a wrapper of underlying ethdb.Database with an additional prefix. The prefix is applied to all entries it maintains. However when we try to retrieve entries from it we don't handle the key properly. In theory the prefix should be truncated and only user key is returned. But we don't do it in some cases, e.g. the iterator and batch replayer created from it. So this PR is the fix to these issues. * eth: when triggering a sync, check the head header TD, not block * internal/web3ext: fix clique console apis to work on missing arguments * rpc: dont log an error if user configures --rpcapi=rpc... (#20776) This just prevents a false negative ERROR warning when, for some unknown reason, a user attempts to turn on the module rpc even though it's already going to be on. * node, cmd/clef: report actual port used for http rpc (#20789) * internal/ethapi: don't set sender-balance to maxuint, fixes #16999 (#20783) Prior to this change, eth_call changed the balance of the sender account in the EVM environment to 2^256 wei to cover the gas cost of the call execution. We've had this behavior for a long time even though it's super confusing. This commit sets the default call gasprice to zero instead of updating the balance, which is better because it makes eth_call semantics less surprising. Removing the built-in balance assignment also makes balance overrides work as expected. * metrics: disable CPU stats (gosigar) on iOS * cmd/devp2p: tweak DNS TTLs (#20801) * cmd/devp2p: tweak DNS TTLs * cmd/devp2p: bump treeNodeTTL to four weeks * cmd/devp2p: lower route53 change limit again (#20819) * cmd/devp2p: be very correct about route53 change splitting (#20820) Turns out the way RDATA limits work is documented after all, I just didn't search right. The trick to make it work is to count UPSERTs twice. This also adds an additional check to ensure TTL changes are applied on existing records. * graphql, node, rpc: fix typos in comments (#20824) * eth: improve shutdown synchronization (#20695) * eth: improve shutdown synchronization Most goroutines started by eth.Ethereum didn't have any shutdown sync at all, which lead to weird error messages when quitting the client. This change improves the clean shutdown path by stopping all internal components in dependency order and waiting for them to actually be stopped before shutdown is considered done. In particular, we now stop everything related to peers before stopping 'resident' parts such as core.BlockChain. * eth: rewrite sync controller * eth: remove sync start debug message * eth: notify chainSyncer about new peers after handshake * eth: move downloader.Cancel call into chainSyncer * eth: make post-sync block broadcast synchronous * eth: add comments * core: change blockchain stop message * eth: change closeBloomHandler channel type * eth/filters: fix typo on unindexedLogs function's comment (#20827) * core: bump txpool tx max size to 128KB * snapshotter/tests: verify snapdb post-state against trie (#20812) * core/state/snapshot: basic trie-to-hash implementation * tests: validate snapshot after test * core/state/snapshot: fix review concerns * cmd, consensus: add option to disable mmap for DAG caches/datasets (#20484) * cmd, consensus: add option to disable mmap for DAG caches/datasets * consensus: add benchmarks for mmap with/with lock * cmd/clef: add newaccount command (#20782) * cmd/clef: add newaccount command * cmd/clef: document clef_New, update API versioning * Update cmd/clef/intapi_changelog.md Co-Authored-By: ligi <ligi@ligi.de> * Update signer/core/uiapi.go Co-Authored-By: ligi <ligi@ligi.de> Co-authored-by: ligi <ligi@ligi.de> * eth: add debug_accountRange API (#19645) This new API allows reading accounts and their content by address range.

This change modifies it so we compare the metered Max to the actual time instead of the desired time. * README: update private network genesis spec with istanbul (#20841) * add istanbul and muirGlacier to genesis states in README * remove muirGlacier, relocate istanbul * cmd/evm: Rework execution stats (#20792) - Dump stats also for --bench flag. - From memory stats only show number and size of allocations. This is what `test -bench` shows. I doubt others like number of GC runs are any useful, but can be added if requested. - Now the mem stats are for single execution in case of --bench. * cmd/devp2p, cmd/wnode, whisper: add missing calls to Timer.Stop (#20843) * p2p/server: add UDP port mapping goroutine to wait group (#20846) * accounts/abi faster unpacking of int256 (#20850) * p2p/discv5: add missing Timer.Stop calls (#20853) * miner/worker: add missing timer.Stop call (#20857) * cmd/geth: fix bad genesis test (#20860) * eth/filters: add missing Ticker.Stop call (#20862) * eth/fetcher: add missing timer.Stop calls (#20861) * event: add missing timer.Stop call in TestFeed (#20868) * metrics: add missing calls to Ticker.Stop in tests (#20866) * ethstats: add missing Ticker.Stop call (#20867) * p2p/discv5, p2p/testing: add missing Timer.Stop calls in tests (#20869) * core: add missing Timer.Stop call in TestLogReorgs (#20870) * rpc: add missing timer.Stop calls in websocket tests (#20863) * crypto/ecies: improve concatKDF (#20836) This removes a bunch of weird code around the counter overflow check in concatKDF and makes it actually work for different hash output sizes. The overflow check worked as follows: concatKDF applies the hash function N times, where N is roundup(kdLen, hashsize) / hashsize. N should not overflow 32 bits because that would lead to a repetition in the KDF output. A couple issues with the overflow check: - It used the hash.BlockSize, which is wrong because the block size is about the input of the hash function. Luckily, all standard hash functions have a block size that's greater than the output size, so concatKDF didn't crash, it just generated too much key material. - The check used big.Int to compare against 2^32-1. - The calculation could still overflow before reaching the check. The new code in concatKDF doesn't check for overflow. Instead, there is a new check on ECIESParams which ensures that params.KeyLen is < 512. This removes any possibility of overflow. There are a couple of miscellaneous improvements bundled in with this change: - The key buffer is pre-allocated instead of appending the hash output to an initially empty slice. - The code that uses concatKDF to derive keys is now shared between Encrypt and Decrypt. - There was a redundant invocation of IsOnCurve in Decrypt. This is now removed because elliptic.Unmarshal already checks whether the input is a valid curve point since Go 1.5. Co-authored-by: Felix Lange <fjl@twurst.com> * rpc: metrics for JSON-RPC method calls (#20847) This adds a couple of metrics for tracking the timing and frequency of method calls: - rpc/requests gauge counts all requests - rpc/success gauge counts requests which return err == nil - rpc/failure gauge counts requests which return err != nil - rpc/duration/all timer tracks timing of all requests - rpc/duration/<method>/<success/failure> tracks per-method timing * mobile: use bind.NewKeyedTransactor instead of duplicating (#20888) It's better to reuse the existing code to create a keyed transactor than to rewrite the logic again. * internal/ethapi: add CallArgs.ToMessage method (#20854) ToMessage is used to convert between ethapi.CallArgs and types.Message. It reduces the length of the DoCall method by about half by abstracting out the conversion between the CallArgs and the Message. This should improve the code's maintainability and reusability. * eth, les: fix flaky tests (#20897) * les: fix flaky test * eth: fix flaky test * cmd/geth: enable metrics for geth import command (#20738) * cmd/geth: enable metrics for geth import command * cmd/geth: enable metrics-flags for import command * core/vm: use a callcontext struct (#20761) * core/vm: use a callcontext struct * core/vm: fix tests * core/vm/runtime: benchmark * core/vm: make intpool push inlineable, unexpose callcontext * docs/audits: add discv5 protocol audits from LA and C53 (#20898) * .github: change gitter reference to discord link in issue template (#20896) * couple of fixes to docs in clef (#20900) * p2p/discover: add initial discovery v5 implementation (#20750)This adds an implementation of the current discovery v5 spec.There is full integration with cmd/devp2p and enode.Iterator in thisversion. In theory we could enable the new protocol as a replacement ofdiscovery v4 at any time.

The default port for WebSocket is still 8546. geth --rpc --rpcport 8545 --ws --wsport 8545 This also removes a lot of deprecated API surface from package rpc.

### Default Ports and Protocols / Firewalls?
#### `erigon` ports
| Port | Protocol | Purpose | Expose |
|:-----:|:---------:|:----------------:|:-------:|
| 30303 | TCP & UDP | eth/66 peering | Public |
| 30304 | TCP & UDP | eth/65 peering | Public |
| 9090 | TCP | gRPC Connections | Private |
Typically 30303 and 30304 are exposed to the internet to allow incoming peering connections. 9090 is exposed only internally for rpcdaemon or other connections, (e.g. rpcdaemon -> erigon)
#### `rpcdaemon` ports
| Port | Protocol | Purpose | Expose |
|:-----:|:---------:|:-----------------:|:-------:|
| 8545 | TCP | HTTP & WebSockets | Private |
Typically 8545 is exposed only interally for JSON-RPC queries. Both HTTP and WebSocket connections are on the same port.
#### `sentry` ports
| Port | Protocol | Purpose | Expose |
|:-----:|:---------:|:----------------:|:-------:|
| 30303 | TCP & UDP | Peering | Public |
| 9091 | TCP | gRPC Connections | Private |
Typically a sentry process will run one eth/xx protocl (e.g. eth/66) and will be exposed to the internet on 30303. Port 9091 is for internal gRCP connections (e.g erigon -> sentry)
#### Other ports
| Port | Protocol | Purpose | Expose |
|:----:|:--------:|:-------:|:-------:|
| 6060 | TCP | pprof | Private |
| 6060 | TCP | metrics | Private |
Optional flags can be enabled that enable pprof or metrics (or both) - however, they both run on 6060 by default, so you'll have to change one if you want to run both at the same time. use `--help` with the binary for more info.
Also, ports 9092 and 9093 are reserved for future use of the consensus engine and shapshot downloader for gRPC (work in progress).

Known issues

### `htop` shows incorrect memory usage
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
Erigon's internal DB (MDBX) using `MemoryMap` - when OS does manage all `read, write, cache` operations instead of
Application
([linux](https://linux-kernel-labs.github.io/refs/heads/master/labs/memory_mapping.html)
, [windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/memory/file-mapping))
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
`htop` on column `res` shows memory of "App + OS used to hold page cache for given App", but it's not informative,
because if `htop` says that app using 90% of memory you still can run 3 more instances of app on the same machine -
because most of that `90%` is "OS pages cache".
OS automatically free this cache any time it needs memory. Smaller "page cache size" may not impact performance of
Erigon at all.
Next tools show correct memory usage of Erigon:
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
- `vmmap -summary PID | grep -i "Physical footprint"`. Without `grep` you can see details
- `section MALLOC ZONE column Resident Size` shows App memory usage, `section REGION TYPE column Resident Size`
shows OS pages cache size.
- `Prometheus` dashboard shows memory of Go app without OS pages cache (`make prometheus`, open in
browser `localhost:3000`, credentials `admin/admin`)
- `cat /proc/<PID>/smaps`
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
Erigon uses ~4Gb of RAM during genesis sync and ~1Gb during normal work. OS pages cache can utilize unlimited amount of
memory.
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
**Warning:** Multiple instances of Erigon on same machine will touch Disk concurrently, it impacts performance - one of
main Erigon optimisations: "reduce Disk random access".
"Blocks Execution stage" still does much random reads - this is reason why it's slowest stage. We do not recommend run
multiple genesis syncs on same Disk. If genesis sync passed, then it's fine to run multiple Erigon on same Disk.

### Blocks Execution is slow on cloud-network-drives
2021-05-18 06:14:24 +00:00
Please read https://github.com/ledgerwatch/erigon/issues/1516#issuecomment-811958891
2021-07-18 08:22:35 +00:00
In short: network-disks are bad for blocks execution - because blocks execution reading data from db non-parallel
non-batched way.

### Filesystem's background features are expensive
For example: btrfs's autodefrag option - may increase write IO 100x times
