infernet-container-starter

Starter examples for deploying to infernet.

Getting Started

To interact with infernet, one could either create a job by accessing an infernet node directly through it's API (we'll refer to this as an off-chain job), or by creating a subscription on-chain (we'll refer to this as an on-chain job).

Requesting an off-chain job: Hello World!

The easiest way to get started is to run our hello-world container. This is a simple flask-app that is compatible with infernet, and simply echoes what you send to it.

We already have it hosted on docker hub . If you're curious how it's made, you can follow the instructions here to build your own infernet-compatible container.

Install Docker

To run this, you'll need to have docker installed. You can find instructions for installing docker here.

Running Locally

First, ensure that the docker daemon is running.

Then, from the top-level project directory, Run the following make command:

project=hello-world make deploy-container

This will deploy an infernet node along with the hello-world image.

Creating an off-chain job through the API

You can create an off-chain job by posting to the node directly.

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"containers":["hello-world"], "data": {"some": "input"}}'
# returns
{"id":"d5281dd5-c4f4-4523-a9c2-266398e06007"}

This will return the id of that job.

Getting the status/result/errors of a job

You can check the status of a job like so:

curl -X GET http://127.0.0.1:4000/api/jobs?id=d5281dd5-c4f4-4523-a9c2-266398e06007
# returns
[{"id":"d5281dd5-c4f4-4523-a9c2-266398e06007", "result":{"container":"hello-world","output": {"output":"hello, world!, your input was: {'source': 1, 'data': {'some': 'input'}}"}} ,"status":"success"}]

Configuration

This project already comes with a pre-filled config file. The config file for the hello-world project is located here:

projects/hello-world/config.json

Requesting an on-chain job

In this section we'll go over how to request an on-chain job in a local testnet.

Infernet's Anvil Testnet

To request an on-chain job, you'll need to deploy contracts using the infernet sdk. We already have a public anvil node docker image which has the corresponding infernet sdk contracts deployed, along with a node that has registered itself to listen to on-chain subscription events.

• Coordinator Address: 0x5FbDB2315678afecb367f032d93F642f64180aa3
• Node Address: 0x70997970C51812dc3A010C7d01b50e0d17dc79C8 (This is the second account in the anvil's accounts.)

Deploying Infernet Node & Infernet's Anvil Testnet

This step is similar to the section above:

project=hello-world make deploy-container

In another terminal, run docker container ls, you should see something like this

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                      COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                NAMES
c2ca0ffe7817   ritualnetwork/infernet-anvil:0.0.0         "anvil --host 0.0.0.…"   9 seconds ago    Up 8 seconds    0.0.0.0:8545->3000/tcp               anvil-node

28b2e5608655   ritualnetwork/infernet-node:0.1.1          "/app/entrypoint.sh"     10 seconds ago   Up 10 seconds   0.0.0.0:4000->4000/tcp               deploy-node-1
03ba51ff48b8   fluent/fluent-bit:latest                   "/fluent-bit/bin/flu…"   10 seconds ago   Up 10 seconds   2020/tcp, 0.0.0.0:24224->24224/tcp   deploy-fluentbit-1
a0d96f29a238   redis:latest                               "docker-entrypoint.s…"   10 seconds ago   Up 10 seconds   0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp               deploy-redis-1

You can see that the anvil node is running on port 8545, and the infernet node is running on port 4000. Same as before.

Deploying Consumer Contracts

We have a sample forge project which contains a simple consumer contract, SaysGM. All this contract does is to request a job from the infernet node, and upon receiving the result, it will use the forge console to print the result.

Anvil Logs: First, it's useful to look at the logs of the anvil node to see what's going on. In a new terminal, run docker logs -f anvil-node.

Deploying the contracts: In another terminal, run the following command:

project=hello-world make deploy-contracts

You should be able to see the following logs in the anvil logs:

eth_sendRawTransaction
eth_getTransactionReceipt

    Transaction: 0x23ca6b1d1823ad5af175c207c2505112f60038fc000e1e22509816fa29a3afd6
    Contract created: 0x663f3ad617193148711d28f5334ee4ed07016602
    Gas used: 476669

    Block Number: 1
    Block Hash: 0x6b026b70fbe97b4a733d4812ccd6e8e25899a1f6c622430c3fb07a2e5c5c96b7
    Block Time: "Wed, 17 Jan 2024 22:17:31 +0000"

eth_getTransactionByHash
eth_getTransactionReceipt
eth_blockNumber

We can see that a new contract has been created at 0x663f3ad617193148711d28f5334ee4ed07016602. That's the address of the SaysGM contract.

Calling the contract

Now, let's call the contract. In the same terminal, run the following command:

project=hello-world make call-contract

You should first see that a transaction was sent to the SaysGm contract:

eth_getTransactionReceipt

    Transaction: 0xe56b5b6ac713a978a1631a44d6a0c9eb6941dce929e1b66b4a2f7a61b0349d65
    Gas used: 123323

    Block Number: 2
    Block Hash: 0x3d6678424adcdecfa0a8edd51e014290e5f54ee4707d4779e710a2a4d9867c08
    Block Time: "Wed, 17 Jan 2024 22:18:39 +0000"
eth_getTransactionByHash

Then, right after that you should see another transaction submitted by the node, which is the result of the job request:

eth_chainId
eth_sendRawTransaction

eth_blockNumber
eth_newFilter

We can see that the address of the node matches the address of the node in our ritual anvil node.
