IDEX Staking Node

This guide explains how to set up an IDEX staking node using a docker container provided by the IDEX team.

Requirements

To use this setup, make sure you have:

• Docker already installed and configured.
• The necessary requirements for the docker_container ansible module.

You will also need the "Replicator Staking Key," which you can find in the Staking/Replicator section on IDEX.

For the replicator to function, the server must have port 8081 open to the public internet. This setup will expose the container port.

Role Variables

• idex_staking_node__api_key (required): Your IDEX staking replicator key.
• idex_staking_node__version (optional, default: 0.0.1): The version of the IDEX staking replicator docker container you want to use.
• idex_staking_node__container_name (optional, default: idex_staking_replicator): The name for your IDEX staking docker container.
• idex_staking_node__data_dir (optional, default: /var/idex-staking-replicator/): The path for the container's persistent data, which will be created automatically.

Example Playbook

Here’s how you can use this setup in a playbook:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: salessandri.idex_staking_node
      vars:
        idex_staking_node__api_key: 00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444
