An all-powerful toolset for ANON.
Sentinel is an autonomous agent for persisting, processing and automating ANON governance objects and tasks.
Sentinel is implemented as a Python application that binds to a local version anond instance on each ANON Masternode.
This guide covers installing Sentinel onto an existing 12.1 Masternode in Ubuntu 14.04 / 16.04 / 18.04.
chmod 777 setup.sh
./setup.sh
Make sure Python version 2.7.x or above is installed:
python --version
Update system packages and ensure virtualenv is installed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install python-virtualenv
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
Make sure the local ANON daemon running is at least version X (X)
anon-cli getinfo | grep version
Clone the Sentinel repo and install Python dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/anonymousbitcoin/sentinel.git
cd sentinel
virtualenv ./venv
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
Set up a crontab entry to call Sentinel every minute:
crontab -e
In the crontab editor, add the lines below, replacing '/home/YOURUSERNAME/sentinel' to the path where you cloned sentinel to:
PLEASE NOTE: The following will only work if you are signed in as NON-ROOT user. You can check it by using "whoami" command.
* * * * * cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/sentinel && ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py >/dev/null 2>&1
IF you are a ROOT, user type the following:
* * * * * cd /root/sentinel && ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py >/dev/null 2>&1
Test the config by runnings all tests from the sentinel folder you cloned into
./venv/bin/py.test ./test
With all tests passing and crontab setup, Sentinel will stay in sync with anond and the installation is complete
An alternative (non-default) path to the anon.conf file can be specified in sentinel.conf:
anon_conf=/path/to/anon.conf
If you want to use Sentinel on ANON TESTNET, you need to add the following in sentinel.conf:
#network=mainnet
network=testnet
To view debug output, set the SENTINEL_DEBUG environment variable to anything non-zero, then run the script manually:
SENTINEL_DEBUG=1 ./venv/bin/python bin/sentinel.py
