Notes Usage

• Login:
• Admin user: admin / admin
• Regular user: user / user
• MetaMask:
• You must connect MetaMask to your local network (e.g., http://localhost:8888).
• The user can transfer ETH from their connected account.
• The admin can check the balance of any address.
• Containers:
• The panel allows you to create, start, stop, and delete nodes.
• The "Create Bootnode" button is only enabled if the besu-network-bootnode container does not exist.
• To create the bootnode, a /api/nodes/create-bootnode endpoint must exist that runs the nodo.sh script from the same directory as nodo_create.sh.
