gcli

CLI client for Duniter-V2S.

Using

• https://github.com/duniter/substrate
• https://github.com/duniter/subxt

Usage

If using a different runtime, update the metadata for the client to compile:

subxt metadata -f bytes > res/metadata.scale

Send 10 ĞD from Alice to Ferdie:

cargo run -- --url ws://localhost:9944 --secret //Alice transfer 1000 5CiPPseXPECbkjWCa6MnjNokrgYjMqmKndv2rSnekmSK2DjL

List certifications and session keys that will expire within one month:

cargo run -- --url wss://gdev.p2p.legal:443/ws expire --blocks 432000

Log level

You can adjust the log level:

export RUST_LOG=gcli=info

Runtime metadata

To update runtime metadata:

subxt metadata -f bytes > res/metadata.scale

Smith

You want to rotate keys and go online to start forging blocks.

Smith nodes must not expose a public RPC API. Then you can either use SSH directly, or make an SSH bridge by adding this to your local .bashrc:

alias duniter-rpc='ssh -L 9944:localhost:9944 duniter@gdev.example.tld'

Now the command duniter-rpc will open an SSH session and a bridge to your RPC API.

When your node is ready to forge blocks, rotate keys and go online:

gcli --secret "my secret phrase" update-keys
gcli --secret "my secret phrase" go-online

Keys

Secret and/or public keys can always be passed using --secret and --address. If needed, stdin will be prompted for secret key. An error will occur if secret and address are both given but do not match.

Secret key format can be changed using --secret-format with the following values:

• substrate: a Substrate secret address (optionally followed by a derivation path), or BIP39 mnemonic
• seed: a 32-bytes seed in hexadecimal (Duniter v1 compatible)
