| 1 | +# Deployment Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This guide covers deploying Arcade using Docker Compose or Kubernetes. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Prerequisites |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- A Teranode broadcast URL for the target network |
| 8 | +- Arcade container image (`ghcr.io/bsv-blockchain/arcade:<tag>`) or source code to build from |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Configuration Reference |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Arcade is configured via environment variables or a `config.yaml` file. Environment variables take precedence. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +| Variable | Description | Default | |
| 15 | +|---|---|---| |
| 16 | +| `ARCADE_NETWORK` | BSV network: `main`, `test`, or `teratestnet` | `main` | |
| 17 | +| `ARCADE_STORAGE_PATH` | Root directory for persistent data | `/data` | |
| 18 | +| `ARCADE_DATABASE_SQLITE_PATH` | Path to SQLite database file | `/data/arcade.db` | |
| 19 | +| `ARCADE_CHAINTRACKS_STORAGE_PATH` | Path for chain header storage | `/data/chaintracks` | |
| 20 | +| `ARCADE_TERANODE_BROADCAST_URLS` | Comma-separated Teranode propagation URLs | _(none)_ | |
| 21 | +| `ARCADE_SERVER_ADDRESS` | Listen address | `:3011` | |
| 22 | +| `ARCADE_LOG_LEVEL` | Log level: `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error` | `info` | |
| 23 | +| `ARCADE_AUTH_ENABLED` | Enable authentication | `false` | |
| 24 | +| `ARCADE_AUTH_TOKEN` | Auth bearer token (if auth enabled) | _(none)_ | |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +See `config.example.yaml` for the full config file format. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Health Check |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +The container exposes `GET /health` on port 3011. Use this for readiness/liveness probes and load balancer health checks. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +--- |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Docker Compose |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +1. **Create a config file:** |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```bash |
| 39 | +cp config.example.yaml config.yaml |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Edit `config.yaml` and set your `teranode.broadcast_urls`. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +2. **Start Arcade:** |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +```bash |
| 47 | +docker compose up -d |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +3. **Verify it's running:** |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +```bash |
| 53 | +curl http://localhost:3011/health |
| 54 | +docker compose logs -f arcade |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +4. **Stop:** |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +```bash |
| 60 | +docker compose down |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Data is persisted in the `arcade-data` Docker volume and survives restarts. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### Environment-only configuration (no config file) |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +If you prefer not to mount a config file, pass everything as environment variables: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +```bash |
| 70 | +docker run -d \ |
| 71 | + --name arcade \ |
| 72 | + -p 3011:3011 \ |
| 73 | + -e ARCADE_NETWORK=main \ |
| 74 | + -e ARCADE_TERANODE_BROADCAST_URLS="https://teranode-1.example.com,https://teranode-2.example.com" \ |
| 75 | + -v arcade-data:/data \ |
| 76 | + ghcr.io/bsv-blockchain/arcade:v0.1.6 |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +--- |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Kubernetes |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### Concepts |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +Arcade uses SQLite for storage, so it must run as a **single replica** with a `Recreate` deployment strategy. A `PersistentVolumeClaim` provides durable storage across pod restarts. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +### Namespace |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +Create a namespace for your environment: |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +```bash |
| 92 | +kubectl create namespace arcade |
| 93 | +``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### Persistent Volume Claim |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +```yaml |
| 98 | +apiVersion: v1 |
| 99 | +kind: PersistentVolumeClaim |
| 100 | +metadata: |
| 101 | + name: arcade-data |
| 102 | + namespace: arcade |
| 103 | +spec: |
| 104 | + accessModes: |
| 105 | + - ReadWriteOnce |
| 106 | + resources: |
| 107 | + requests: |
| 108 | + storage: 10Gi |
| 109 | +``` |
| 110 | +
|
| 111 | +Adjust the `storageClassName` and size for your cluster. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Deployment |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +```yaml |
| 116 | +apiVersion: apps/v1 |
| 117 | +kind: Deployment |
| 118 | +metadata: |
| 119 | + name: arcade |
| 120 | + namespace: arcade |
| 121 | +spec: |
| 122 | + selector: |
| 123 | + matchLabels: |
| 124 | + app: arcade |
| 125 | + strategy: |
| 126 | + type: Recreate |
| 127 | + template: |
| 128 | + metadata: |
| 129 | + labels: |
| 130 | + app: arcade |
| 131 | + spec: |
| 132 | + securityContext: |
| 133 | + fsGroup: 1000 |
| 134 | + containers: |
| 135 | + - name: arcade |
| 136 | + image: ghcr.io/bsv-blockchain/arcade:v0.1.6 |
| 137 | + ports: |
| 138 | + - containerPort: 3011 |
| 139 | + env: |
| 140 | + - name: ARCADE_NETWORK |
| 141 | + value: "main" |
| 142 | + - name: ARCADE_STORAGE_PATH |
| 143 | + value: /data |
| 144 | + - name: ARCADE_DATABASE_SQLITE_PATH |
| 145 | + value: /data/arcade.db |
| 146 | + - name: ARCADE_TERANODE_BROADCAST_URLS |
| 147 | + value: "https://teranode-1.example.com,https://teranode-2.example.com" |
| 148 | + - name: ARCADE_CHAINTRACKS_STORAGE_PATH |
| 149 | + value: /data/chaintracks |
| 150 | + volumeMounts: |
| 151 | + - name: arcade-data |
| 152 | + mountPath: /data |
| 153 | + livenessProbe: |
| 154 | + httpGet: |
| 155 | + path: /health |
| 156 | + port: 3011 |
| 157 | + initialDelaySeconds: 10 |
| 158 | + periodSeconds: 30 |
| 159 | + readinessProbe: |
| 160 | + httpGet: |
| 161 | + path: /health |
| 162 | + port: 3011 |
| 163 | + initialDelaySeconds: 5 |
| 164 | + periodSeconds: 10 |
| 165 | + securityContext: |
| 166 | + runAsNonRoot: true |
| 167 | + runAsUser: 1000 |
| 168 | + allowPrivilegeEscalation: false |
| 169 | + capabilities: |
| 170 | + drop: |
| 171 | + - ALL |
| 172 | + volumes: |
| 173 | + - name: arcade-data |
| 174 | + persistentVolumeClaim: |
| 175 | + claimName: arcade-data |
| 176 | +``` |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +Key points: |
| 179 | +- **`strategy: Recreate`** is required because SQLite does not support concurrent writers. |
| 180 | +- **`fsGroup: 1000`** matches the `arcade` user in the container image so the mounted volume is writable. |
| 181 | +- Set `ARCADE_NETWORK` to `main`, `test`, or `teratestnet` and point `ARCADE_TERANODE_BROADCAST_URLS` to the appropriate Teranode propagation endpoints for that network. |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +### Service |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +```yaml |
| 186 | +apiVersion: v1 |
| 187 | +kind: Service |
| 188 | +metadata: |
| 189 | + name: arcade |
| 190 | + namespace: arcade |
| 191 | +spec: |
| 192 | + selector: |
| 193 | + app: arcade |
| 194 | + ports: |
| 195 | + - port: 3011 |
| 196 | + targetPort: 3011 |
| 197 | + type: ClusterIP |
| 198 | +``` |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +### Ingress (optional) |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +Expose Arcade externally with an Ingress. The example below uses cert-manager for TLS; adapt the annotations and `ingressClassName` for your ingress controller: |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +```yaml |
| 205 | +apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 |
| 206 | +kind: Ingress |
| 207 | +metadata: |
| 208 | + name: arcade |
| 209 | + namespace: arcade |
| 210 | + annotations: |
| 211 | + cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "letsencrypt" |
| 212 | +spec: |
| 213 | + ingressClassName: nginx # or traefik, etc. |
| 214 | + tls: |
| 215 | + - secretName: arcade-tls |
| 216 | + hosts: |
| 217 | + - arcade.example.com |
| 218 | + rules: |
| 219 | + - host: arcade.example.com |
| 220 | + http: |
| 221 | + paths: |
| 222 | + - path: / |
| 223 | + pathType: Prefix |
| 224 | + backend: |
| 225 | + service: |
| 226 | + name: arcade |
| 227 | + port: |
| 228 | + number: 3011 |
| 229 | +``` |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +### Multiple Environments |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +To run mainnet, testnet, and teratestnet side by side, deploy each into its own namespace with environment-specific values: |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +| Environment | Namespace | `ARCADE_NETWORK` | |
| 236 | +|---|---|---| |
| 237 | +| Mainnet | `arcade` | `main` | |
| 238 | +| Testnet | `arcade-testnet` | `test` | |
| 239 | +| Teratestnet | `arcade-ttn` | `teratestnet` | |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +Each environment needs its own PVC, Deployment, Service, and (optionally) Ingress. The only differences between environments are the namespace, `ARCADE_NETWORK` value, and `ARCADE_TERANODE_BROADCAST_URLS`. |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +If you use Kustomize, you can keep the manifests above as a base and create overlays that patch the namespace, network, and broadcast URLs per environment. |
| 244 | + |
| 245 | +--- |
| 246 | + |
| 247 | +## Updating |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +To deploy a new version: |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +1. Build and push a new image tag (or use a tag published by CI). |
| 252 | +2. Update the image reference in your `docker-compose.yaml` or Kubernetes Deployment manifest. |
| 253 | +3. Redeploy: |
| 254 | + - **Docker Compose:** `docker compose up -d` |
| 255 | + - **Kubernetes:** `kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml` or let your GitOps tool reconcile the change. |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +### Docker Compose |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +```bash |
| 262 | +docker compose logs -f arcade |
| 263 | +docker compose exec arcade wget -qO- http://localhost:3011/health |
| 264 | +``` |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +### Kubernetes |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +```bash |
| 269 | +kubectl -n arcade get pods |
| 270 | +kubectl -n arcade logs deploy/arcade |
| 271 | +kubectl -n arcade describe deploy/arcade |
| 272 | +kubectl -n arcade get pvc arcade-data |
| 273 | +kubectl -n arcade get ingress |
| 274 | +``` |
