Advanced Network Deployments

Advanced deployment options for Solo networks including Falcon configuration, manual step-by-step deployment, Helm chart customization, and dynamic node management.

This guide covers advanced deployment scenarios for users who need more control over their Solo network configuration.

Prerequisites

Before using advanced deployment options, ensure you have completed the Solo User Guide and have:

Solo installed (solo --version)
Docker running with adequate resources
kubectl configured
A Kind cluster created

Set up your environment variables if not already done:

export SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME=solo
export SOLO_NAMESPACE=solo
export SOLO_CLUSTER_SETUP_NAMESPACE=solo-cluster
export SOLO_DEPLOYMENT=solo-deployment

Falcon Deployment

Falcon deployment provides fine-grained control over all network components through a YAML configuration file. This is ideal for CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and complex deployment scenarios.

Basic Falcon Deployment

solo one-shot falcon deploy --values-file falcon-values.yaml

Example Configuration File

Create a file named falcon-values.yaml:

network:
  --deployment: "my-network"
  --release-tag: "v0.65.0"
  --node-aliases: "node1"

setup:
  --release-tag: "v0.65.0"
  --node-aliases: "node1"

consensusNode:
  --deployment: "my-network"
  --node-aliases: "node1"
  --force-port-forward: true

mirrorNode:
  --enable-ingress: true
  --pinger: true

explorerNode:
  --enable-ingress: true

relayNode:
  --node-aliases: "node1"

Multi-Node Falcon Configuration

For multiple consensus nodes:

network:
  --deployment: "my-multi-network"
  --release-tag: "v0.65.0"
  --node-aliases: "node1,node2,node3"

setup:
  --release-tag: "v0.65.0"
  --node-aliases: "node1,node2,node3"

consensusNode:
  --deployment: "my-multi-network"
  --node-aliases: "node1,node2,node3"
  --force-port-forward: true

mirrorNode:
  --enable-ingress: true
  --pinger: true

explorerNode:
  --enable-ingress: true

relayNode:
  --node-aliases: "node1"

Falcon with Block Node

Note: Block Node is experimental and requires at least 16 GB of memory allocated to Docker.

network:
  --deployment: "block-node-network"
  --release-tag: "v0.62.6"
  --node-aliases: "node1"

setup:
  --release-tag: "v0.62.6"
  --node-aliases: "node1"

consensusNode:
  --deployment: "block-node-network"
  --node-aliases: "node1"
  --force-port-forward: true

blockNode:
  --deployment: "block-node-network"
  --release-tag: "v0.62.6"

mirrorNode:
  --enable-ingress: true
  --pinger: true

explorerNode:
  --enable-ingress: true

relayNode:
  --node-aliases: "node1"

Tearing Down Falcon Deployment

solo one-shot falcon destroy

See the Falcon example for a complete configuration template.

Step-by-Step Manual Deployment

For maximum control, you can deploy each component individually. This is useful for debugging, custom configurations, or when you need to modify specific deployment steps.

1. Connect Cluster and Create Deployment

# Connect to the Kind cluster
solo cluster-ref config connect --cluster-ref kind-${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME} --context kind-${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}

# Create a new deployment
solo deployment config create -n "${SOLO_NAMESPACE}" --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}"

Example output:

******************************* Solo *********************************************
Version			: 0.57.0
Kubernetes Context	: kind-solo
Kubernetes Cluster	: kind-solo
Current Command		: cluster-ref config connect --cluster-ref kind-solo --context kind-solo
**********************************************************************************

 Test connection to cluster: 
✔ Test connection to cluster: kind-solo 
 Associate a context with a cluster reference: 
✔ Associate a context with a cluster reference: kind-solo

solo-deployment_CREATE_OUTPUT

2. Add Cluster to Deployment

Specify the number of consensus nodes:

# For a single node
solo deployment cluster attach --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --cluster-ref kind-${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME} --num-consensus-nodes 1

# For multiple nodes (e.g., 3 nodes)
# solo deployment cluster attach --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --cluster-ref kind-${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME} --num-consensus-nodes 3

Example output:

solo-deployment_ADD_CLUSTER_OUTPUT

3. Generate Keys

solo keys consensus generate --gossip-keys --tls-keys --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}"

PEM key files are generated in ~/.solo/cache/keys/.

Example output:

******************************* Solo *********************************************
Version			: 0.57.0
Kubernetes Context	: kind-solo
Kubernetes Cluster	: kind-solo
Current Command		: keys consensus generate --gossip-keys --tls-keys --deployment solo-deployment

Deploying Block Node (Experimental)

Warning: Block Node requires at least 16 GB of memory and Consensus Node version v0.62.3 or higher.

Block Node must be deployed before the network:

# Deploy Block Node first
solo block node add --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --cluster-ref kind-"${SOLO_CLUSTER_NAME}" --release-tag v0.62.6

# Then deploy the network with the matching version
solo consensus network deploy --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}"
solo consensus node setup --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" --release-tag v0.62.6
solo consensus node start --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}"

Example output:

To destroy Block Node (must be done before network destruction):

Connecting to a Remote Cluster

Solo can deploy to any Kubernetes cluster, not just local Kind clusters.

Setting Up Remote Cluster Connection

# View available contexts
kubectl config get-contexts

# Switch to your remote cluster context
kubectl config use-context <context-name>

# Connect Solo to the remote cluster
solo cluster-ref config connect --cluster-ref <cluster-ref-name> --context <context-name>

Remote Cluster Requirements

Kubernetes 1.24 or higher
Sufficient resources for network components
Network access to pull container images
Storage class available for persistent volumes

Adding Nodes to an Existing Network

You can dynamically add new consensus nodes to a running network.

Quick Add (When Available)

# TODO: solo consensus node add (coming soon)

Step-by-Step Node Addition

For precise control over the node addition process:

# Prepare the new node
solo consensus dev-node-add prepare \
  --gossip-keys true \
  --tls-keys true \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --pvcs true \
  --admin-key <admin-key> \
  --node-alias node2 \
  --output-dir context

# Submit the transaction to add the node
solo consensus dev-node-add submit-transaction \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --input-dir context

# Execute the node addition
solo consensus dev-node-add execute \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --input-dir context

See the node-create-transaction example for a complete walkthrough.

Deleting Nodes from a Network

You can dynamically remove consensus nodes from a running network.

Quick Delete (When Available)

# TODO: solo consensus node destroy (coming soon)

Step-by-Step Node Deletion

For precise control over the node deletion process:

# Prepare the node for deletion
solo consensus dev-node-delete prepare \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --node-alias node2 \
  --output-dir context

# Submit the transaction to delete the node
solo consensus dev-node-delete submit-transaction \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --input-dir context

# Execute the node deletion
solo consensus dev-node-delete execute \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --input-dir context

See the node-delete-transaction example for a complete walkthrough.

Step-by-Step Node Update

For testing the update process or granular control:

# Prepare the update
solo consensus dev-node-update prepare \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --node-alias node1 \
  --release-tag v0.66.0 \
  --output-dir context

# Submit the update transaction
solo consensus dev-node-update submit-transaction \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --input-dir context

# Execute the update
solo consensus dev-node-update execute \
  --deployment "${SOLO_DEPLOYMENT}" \
  --input-dir context

See the node-update-transaction example for a complete walkthrough.
