Deployment on Solo

One-shot Falcon Deployment

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

One-shot Falcon deployment is Solo’s YAML-driven one-shot workflow. It uses the same core deployment pipeline as solo one-shot single deploy, but lets you inject component-specific flags through a single values file.

One-shot use Falcon deployment when you need a repeatable advanced setup, want to check a complete deployment into source control, or need to customise component flags without running every Solo command manually.

Falcon is especially useful for:

Quickstart

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Solo Quickstart provides a single, one-shot command path to deploy a running Hiero test network using the Solo CLI tool. This guide covers installing Solo, running the one-shot deployment, verifying the network, and accessing local service endpoints.

Note: This guide assumes basic familiarity with command-line interfaces and Docker.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have completed the following:

System Readiness:
- Prepare your local environment (Docker, Kind, Kubernetes, and related tooling) by following the System Readiness guide.

Note: Quickstart only covers what you need to run solo one-shot single deploy and verify that the network is working. Detailed version requirements, OS-specific notes, and optional tools are documented in System Readiness.

Using Solo with Mirror Node

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The Hiero Mirror Node stores the full transaction history of your local Solo network and exposes it through several interfaces:

A web-based block explorer (Hiero Mirror Node Explorer) at http://localhost:8080.
A REST API via the mirror-ingress service at http://localhost:8081 (recommended entry point-routes to the correct REST implementation).
A gRPC endpoint for mirror node subscriptions.

This guide walks you through adding Mirror Node and the Hiero Explorer to a Solo network, and shows you how to query transaction data and create accounts.

Customizing Solo with Tasks

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

The Task tool (task) is a task runner that enables you to deploy and customize Solo networks using infrastructure-as-code patterns. Rather than running individual Solo CLI commands, you can use predefined Taskfile targets to orchestrate complex deployment workflows with a single command.

This guide covers installing the Task tool, understanding available Taskfile targets, and using them to deploy networks with various configurations. It also points to maintained example projects that demonstrate common Solo workflows.

One-command deployment options and variants

How can I set up a Solo network in a single command?

You can run one of the following commands depending on your needs:

Single Node Deployment (recommended for development):
```
brew install hiero-ledger/tools/solo
```
For more information on Single Node Deployment, see Quickstart
Multiple Node Deployment (for testing consensus scenarios):
```
solo one-shot multiple deploy --num-consensus-nodes 3
```
For more information on Multiple Node Deployment, see Quickstart
