Cronosd build with Nix
It is also possible to reproducibly build
cronosd binaries locally yourself using nix.- Install cachix and enable cronos binary cache:nix-env -iA cachix -f https://cachix.org/api/v1/installcachix use cronos
Below are listed the different possible parameters
- Network Type
mainnet(default)testnet
- DB Backend
rocksdb(default)goleveldb
- Build Type
- normal nix package (default)
- re-distributable bundle
- re-distributable tarball, the tarball of the above bundle.
The package name is constructed by joining the above three properties with a separator
-, omitting the default values, for example:cronosd:defaults to themainnetrocksdbnix package.cronosd-tarball:mainnetrocksdbre-distributable tarball.cronosd-goleveldb-tarball:mainnetgoleveldbre-distributable tarball.cronosd-testnet-goleveldb-tarball:testnetgoleveldbre-distributable tarball.
The nix flake url is:
github:crypto-org-chain/cronos/$TAG_NAME#$PACKAGE_NAME,
replace the $TAG_NAME and $PACKAGE_NAME to the one you needed, for example:
The full command to build a v0.8.1 rocksdb mainnet re-distributable tarball is:nix build github:crypto-org-chain/cronos/v0.8.1#cronosd-tarball
result -> /nix/store/dlhqc2ii8jj1ryrgki90l6j92r2by06g-bundle-cronosd-v0.8.1
The result will reside in
./result by default, you can copy the tarball to other machines with the same OS and arch. The re-distributable bundle/tarball has dynamic libraries included, no extra runtime dependencies are needed.
mkdir tmp/cronosd
tar xfz ./result -C /tmp/cronosd/
If you get
error: experimental Nix feature 'nix-command' is disabled;
use '--extra-experimental-features nix-command' to override, e.g. by adding:
--extra-experimental-features nix-command
--extra-experimental-features flakesTo keep the tarball redistributable, it has all the runtime dependencies included, the dynamic linker, and the shared libraries. They are located in a relative path, so it's important that the whole package is moved together.
bin/cronosd:the entry point, it's a wrapper script that executes the binary using the included dynamic linker.exe/cronosd:the executable.lib/:all the shared libraries.
