Linera Validator Artifacts¶

Everything you need to stand up, operate, and upgrade a Linera validator: Helm charts, a single-host Docker Compose stack, deploy scripts, and operator guides.

This repository is the source of truth for deploying a validator. linera-protocol is the protocol and binaries — build them there, deploy them from here. It also contains an older scripts/deploy-validator.sh that predates this repository and is not maintained as the operator entry point. If you arrived from linera-protocol, run the script from this repository.

Quickstart¶

Two supported paths — pick whichever matches your environment.

One host (Docker Compose)¶

git clone https://github.com/linera-io/linera-artifacts.git
cd linera-artifacts
./scripts/deploy-validator.sh <hostname> <email>

That brings up a validator joining testnet_conway. See Quickstart for details.

Kubernetes (Helm)¶

Install from the OCI registry:

helm install validator-1 \
  oci://ghcr.io/linera-io/charts/linera-validator-stack \
  --version <version> \
  -f my-values.yaml

See Helm guide.
