Typical Platform Deployment Time : 10 ~15 minutes

Deploy the platform to AWS using our provided script. The script simplifies the process and provides the platform URL upon completion. With this, your platform will be hosted on the cloud and accessible from anywhere in the world.

Security Credentials

• AWS Access key - Obtain your AWS access and secret keys from the AWS IAM console. Log in to your AWS account and follow the official AWS documentation to generate these keys.

Software Prerequisites

• Git

• Make

• Terraform

• AWS cli

If you don’t have any of above packages in your machine, you can run the below commands to get all of them installed.

1. On your local machine, open a terminal and download dependencies

   curl -L -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tokamak-network/trh-platform/main/install.sh
   

2. Change permission of the dependency script

   chmod +x install.sh

3. Install dependencies

Deploy TRH Platform

1. On your local machine, open a terminal and clone the TRH-Platform repository.

   # clone the trh-platform repository
   git clone https://github.com/tokamak-network/trh-platform
   # change directory to trh-platform
   cd trh-platform

2. Run the below command in your terminal for the configuration.

   # setup for ec2 deployment
   make ec2-setup

   You will be asked to put the following parameters. You can use default values for some of them. If you don’t have any aws access key, please refer this guide and create new one.

   • AWS ACCESS KEY

   • AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY

   • AWS region (default: ap-northeast-2)

   • SSH Key Pair Name: The key pair name for SSH access. Please keep this noted so you can use it when you try to access EC2 instance via SSH. The key is generated to ~/.ssh💡

   Note that Terraform will automatically generate and store a new key pair on AWS and your machine (~/.ssh). Do not create this manually - just provide a name (e.g., "my-ec2-key").

3. Run the below command in your terminal. This will launch an EC2 instance and deploy the platform on it. After deployment, a success message will appear along with the platform URL for access.

   # deploy ec2
   make ec2-deploy

   • Instance Type (default: t2.large): The T-shirt size of EC2 instance

   • Instance Name: The name of your EC2 instance

   Platform Auth configuration (The below credentials will help you to login to the platform)

   • Admin Email (default: [email protected]): The email which will be used for platform login

   • Admin Password (default: admin): The password which will be used for platform login

   After the deployment you will get the hostname of your instance as the above picture shows , also the platform will be deployed and you will get the platform dashboard url.

4. Get AWS EC2 information

   make ec2-status

5. Destroy AWS EC2 instance.

   Note : Terminating the EC2 instance will not remove any deployed chains. Chains must be deleted directly from the platform. Destroying the EC2 instance only removes the instance itself along with the platform running on it.

   make ec2-destroy
