Usage

• Fork this repository for your required devnet (Ideally it is a throwaway devnet)
• Modify the testnets/<name>/inventory/dynamic.py file with the correct tags and client distribution
• Generate the keys from the mnemonic by running the generate_keys.sh file (after exporting the mnemonic)
• If needed, modify the testnets/<name>/custom_config_data/ folder with the genesis.ssz and eth2_config.yaml
• Modify the testnets/<name>/inventory/group_vars/eth2client_<client_name>.yml if required
• Check the inventory with ansible-inventory -i testnets/<name>/inventory/dynamic.py --list
• Run the playbook to run all beacon nodes and validators with ansible-playbook -i testnets/<name>/inventory/dynamic.py playbooks/setup_beacon_and_validators_full.yml
