使用Helm在k8s集群上部署以太坊私有链

一、概述

使用k8s官方的包管理工具helm部署以太坊私有链并启动三类节点和一个前端服务：

• bootnode: used for Geth node discovery
• ethstats: Ethereum Network Stats
• geth-miner: Geth miner nodes
• geth-tx: Geth transaction nodes with mining disabled whose responsbility is to respond to API (websocket, rpc) queries

二、部署流程

（1）helm环境搭建，参考：https://helm.sh
（2）生成Eth帐号和私钥

$ git clone https://github.com/vkobel/ethereum-generate-wallet
$ cd ethereum-generate-wallet
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 ethereum-wallet-generator.py

 Private key: 38000e15ca07309cc2d0b30faaaadb293c45ea222a117e9e9c6a2a9872bb3bcf
 Public key:  60758d37d431d34b920847212febbd583008ec2a34d00f907d48bd48b88dc2661806eb99cb6178312d228b2fd08cdb88bafc352d0395ae09b2fe453f0c4403ad

（3）在k8s集群里部署以太坊私有链

helm install --name my-release stable/ethereum
     --set geth.account.address=[PUBLIC_ADDRESS]
     --set geth.account.privateKey=[PRIVATE_KEY]
     --set geth.account.secret=[SECRET]

三、问题记录

（1）集群中helm tiller pod启动失败，因为gcr.io/kubernetes-helm/tiller:v2.8.2镜像无法下载
解决方案：

// 使用私有镜像
helm init --service-account tiller --upgrade -i huwanyang168/tiller:v2.8.0  --skip-refresh
kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
kubectl patch deploy --namespace kube-system tiller-deploy -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccount":"tiller"}}}}'

（2）unable to do port forwarding: socat not found.
解决方案：登入node，手动安装socat

四、部署检查

（1）集群检查

$ kubectl get pods

$ kubectl get svc

（2）以太坊私有链检查

// 开启rpc的端口映射
kubectl port-forward my-release-ethereum-geth-tx-d86fdbd8d-brx6q 8545:8545
// 进入geth console
geth attach http://127.0.0.1:8545
// 在console里检查账户及挖矿情况
> eth.accounts[0]
"0xa2fce6f4e4230b3654fad70a37896488f135b8b0"
> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0])
