# go-flare go-flare is a modified version of [avalanchego@v1.14.2](https://github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/releases/tag/v1.14.2) incorporating specific features for Flare and Songbird networks. These features include prioritized contract handling and the invocation of the daemon contract. See [release notes](./RELEASES-flare.md) for more info. ## System Requirements - go version 1.25.11 - gcc, g++ and jq - CPU: Equivalent of 8 AWS vCPU - RAM: 16 GiB - Storage: 1TB Flare / 3.5TB Songbird - OS: Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 ## Compilation After cloning this repository, run: ```sh cd go-flare/avalanchego && ./scripts/build.sh ``` ## Deploy a Validation Node These servers fulfill a critical role in securing the network: - They check that all received transactions are valid. - They run a consensus algorithm so that all validators in the network agree on the transactions to add to the blockchain. - Finally, they add the agreed-upon transactions to their copy of the ledger. This guide explains how to deploy your own validator node so you can participate in the consensus and collect the rewards that the network provides to those who help secure it: ## Deploy an Observation Node Observation nodes enable anyone to observe the network and submit transactions. Unlike validator nodes, which provide state consensus and add blocks, observation nodes remain outside the network and have no effect on consensus or blocks. This guide explains how to deploy your own observation node: ## Tests See `tests/README.md` for testing details ## Container image Public container images are hosted on [Docker HUB](https://hub.docker.com/r/flarefoundation/go-flare) and [Github Packages](https://github.com/orgs/flare-foundation/packages?repo_name=go-flare); ``` docker.io/flarefoundation/go-flare ghcr.io/flare-foundation/go-flare ``` Images are signed using [Cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) with the GitHub OIDC provider. To verify the image, run this command: ```bash cosign verify \ --certificate-identity-regexp="^https://github\.com/flare-foundation/go-flare/\.github/workflows/build-container\.yml@" \ --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \ ghcr.io/flare-foundation/go-flare: cosign verify \ --certificate-identity-regexp="^https://github\.com/flare-foundation/go-flare/\.github/workflows/build-container\.yml@" \ --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \ docker.io/flarefoundation/go-flare: ``` ### Container builds in CI CI builds on each: - push on `main` branch, pushes image tagged as "dev" - creation of a tag, pushes images tagged as the tag itself
