Kotal Operator

Kotal operator is a cloud agnostic blockchain deployer that makes it super easy to deploy highly-available, self-managing, self-healing blockchain infrastructure (networks, nodes, storage clusters ...) on any cloud.

What can I do with Kotal Operator ?

Deploy Bitcoin rpc nodes
Deploy ipfs peers and cluster peers
Deploy ipfs swarms
Deploy Ethereum transaction and mining nodes
Deploy Ethereum 2 beacon and validation nodes
Deploy private Ethereum networks
Deploy NEAR rpc, archive, and validator nodes
Deploy Polkadot rpc and validator nodes
Deploy Chainlink nodes
Deploy Filecoin nodes
Deploy Filecoin backed pinning services (FPS)
Deploy Stacks rpc and api nodes
Deploy Aptos full and validator nodes

Kubernetes Custom Resources

Kotal extended kubernetes with custom resources in different API groups.

Protocol	Description	API Group	Status
Aptos	Deploy Aptos full and validator nodes	aptos.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Bitcoin	Deploy Bitcoin nodes	bitcoin.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Chainlink	Deploy Chainlink nodes	chainlink.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Ethereum	Deploy private and public network Ethereum nodes	ethereum.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Ethereum 2.0	Deploy validator and beacon chain nodes	ethereum2.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Filecoin	Deploy Filecoin nodes	filecoin.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
IPFS	Deploy IPFS peers, cluster peers, and swarms	ipfs.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
NEAR	Deploy NEAR rpc, archive and validator nodes	near.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Polkadot	Deploy Polkadot nodes and validator nodes	polkadot.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha
Stacks	Deploy Stacks rpc and api nodes	stacks.kotal.io/v1alpha1	alpha

Client support

For each protocol, kotal supports at least 1 client (reference client):

Protocol	Client(s)
Aptos	Aptos Core
Bitcoin	Bitcoin Core
Chainlink	Chainlink
Ethereum	Hyperledger Besu, Go-Ethereum, Nethermind
Ethereum 2.0	Teku, Prysm, Lighthouse, Nimbus
IFPS	go-ipfs, ipfs-cluster-service
Filecoin	Lotus
NEAR	nearcore
Polkadot	Parity Polkadot
Stacks	Stacks Node

Install Kotal

Kotal requires access to Kubernetes cluster with cert-manager installed.

For development purposes, we recommend KinD (Kubernetes in Docker) to create kubernetes clusters and tear down kubernetes clusters in seconds:

kind create cluster

After the cluster is up and running, install cert-manager:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.5.3/cert-manager.yaml

Install kotal custom resources and controllers:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kotalco/kotal/releases/download/v0.1-alpha.6/kotal.yaml

Example

Ethereum node using Hyperleger Besu client, joining rinkeby network, and enabling RPC HTTP server:

# ethereum-node.yaml
apiVersion: ethereum.kotal.io/v1alpha1
kind: Node
metadata:
  name: ethereum-node
spec:
  client: besu
  network: rinkeby
  rpc: true
