Network with Block Node Example

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

This example demonstrates how to deploy a Hiero Hashgraph Solo network with a block node using Kubernetes and Taskfile.

What it does

Creates a local Kubernetes cluster using Kind
Deploys a Solo network with a single consensus node, mirror node, relay, explorer, and block node
Provides tasks to install (start) and destroy the network

Install dependencies
- Make sure you have Kind, kubectl, Node.js, and Task installed.
Deploy the network
```
task
```
This will:
- Install the Solo CLI
- Create a Kind cluster
- Initialize Solo
- Connect and set up the cluster reference
- Create and configure the deployment
- Add a block node
- Generate node keys
- Deploy the network, node, mirror node, relay, and explorer
Destroy the network
```
task destroy
```
This will:
- Stop the node
- Destroy the mirror node, relay, and explorer
- Destroy the Solo network
- Delete the Kind cluster

install: Installs and starts the Solo network with a block node, mirror node, relay, and explorer.
destroy: Stops and removes all network components and deletes the Kind cluster.

You can adjust the number of nodes and other settings by editing the vars: section in the Taskfile.yml.
