Deploy the cluster

To distribute your cluster physically and start the DV, each node needs a directory called .charon with one (or several) private key shares within it as per the structure below.

├── .charon
│   ├── charon-enr-private-key
│   ├── cluster-lock.json
│   ├── deposit-data.json
│   └── validator_keys
│       ├── keystore-0.json
│       ├── keystore-0.txt
│       ├── ...
│       ├── keystore-N.json
│       └── keystore-N.txt

👉 Use the single node docker compose, the kubernetes manifests, or the helm chart example repos to get your nodes up and connected after loading the .charon folder artifacts into them appropriately.

warning

Right now, the charon-distributed-node-cluster repo used earlier to create the private keys outputs a folder structure like .charon/ cluster/node0/validator_keys. Make sure to grab the ./node0/* folder, RENAME it to .charon and then move it to one of the single node repo above to have a working cluster as per the folder structure shown above.
