Using Solo with Mirror Node
This document describes how to use Solo with Mirror Node.
Using Solo with mirror node
User can deploy a Solo network with Mirror Node by running the following command:
export SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME=solo-cluster
export SOLO_NAMESPACE=solo-e2e
export SOLO_CLUSTER_SETUP_NAMESPACE=solo-cluster-setup
export SOLO_DEPLOYMENT=solo-deployment
rm -Rf ~/.solo
kind delete cluster -n "${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}"
kind create cluster -n "${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}"
solo init
solo cluster-ref setup --cluster-setup-namespace "${SOLO_CLUSTER_SETUP_NAMESPACE}"
solo cluster-ref connect --cluster-ref ${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME} --context kind-${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}
solo deployment create --namespace "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}"
solo deployment add-cluster --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --cluster-ref ${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME} --num-consensus-nodes 2
solo node keys --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --gossip-keys --tls-keys -i node1,node2
solo network deploy --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" -i node1,node2
solo node setup --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" -i node1,node2
solo node start --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" -i node1,node2
solo mirror-node deploy --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --cluster-ref ${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}
solo explorer deploy --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --cluster-ref ${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}
kubectl port-forward svc/haproxy-node1-svc -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 50211:50211 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
kubectl port-forward svc/hiero-explorer -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" 8080:80 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Then you can access the Explorer at http://localhost:8080
Or you can use Task tool to deploy Solo network with Mirror Node with a single command link
Next, you can try to create a few accounts with Solo and see the transactions in the Explorer.
solo account create -n solo-e2e --hbar-amount 100
solo account create -n solo-e2e --hbar-amount 100
Or you can use Hedera JavaScript SDK examples to create topic, submit message and subscribe to the topic.
