Custom Network Config Example

Example of how to create and manage a custom Solo deployment and configure it with custom settings

This example demonstrates how to create and manage a custom Hiero Hashgraph Solo deployment and configure it with custom settings.

What It Does

Defines a custom network topology (number of nodes, namespaces, deployments, etc.)
Provides a Taskfile for automating cluster creation, deployment, key management, and network operations
Supports local development and testing of Hedera network features
Can be extended to include mirror nodes, explorers, and relays

Install dependencies:
- Make sure you have Task, Node.js, npm, kubectl, and kind installed.
Customize your network:
- Edit Taskfile.yml to set the desired network size, namespaces, and other parameters.
Run the default workflow:
- From this directory, run:
```
task
```
- This will:
  - Install the Solo CLI
  - Create a Kind cluster
  - Set the kubectl context
  - Initialize Solo
  - Connect and set up the cluster reference
  - Create and configure the deployment
  - Add the cluster to the deployment
  - Generate node keys
  - Deploy the network with custom configuration files
  - Set up and start nodes
  - Deploy mirror node, relay, and explorer
Destroy the network:
- Run:
```
task destroy
```
- This will:
  - Stop all nodes
  - Destroy mirror node, relay, and explorer
  - Destroy the Solo network
  - Delete the Kind cluster

Taskfile.yml — All automation tasks and configuration
init-containers-values.yaml, settings.txt, log4j2.xml, application.properties — Example config files for customizing your deployment

This example is self-contained and does not require files from outside this directory.
All steps in the workflow are named for clear logging and troubleshooting.
You can extend the Taskfile to add more custom resources or steps as needed.
For more advanced usage, see the main Solo documentation.
