# Besu Network Setup - Complete

## Overview
This document summarizes the completed setup and configuration of the Besu blockchain network on Proxmox containers (VMID 1000-2502).

## Completed Tasks

### 1. Besu Allowlist Configuration ✅
- Generated corrected allowlist files with 128-character node IDs
- Fixed enode URL padding issues
- Deployed to all containers (1000-2502)
- Validated all enode formats

**Files Generated:**
- `static-nodes.json` - Validator enodes (5 entries)
- `permissions-nodes.toml` - All node enodes (5 entries)

**Location:** `besu-enodes-20251219-141230/`

### 2. Balance Query Script ✅
- Created Node.js script using ethers v6
- Queries native ETH and ERC-20 token balances
- Supports WETH9 and WETH10 tokens
- Health checks and error handling included

**Script:** `scripts/besu_balances_106_117.js`

### 3. Management Scripts ✅
All scripts available in `scripts/`:
- `besu-extract-enode-nodekey.sh` - Extract enode from nodekey file
- `besu-extract-enode-rpc.sh` - Extract enode via JSON-RPC
- `besu-collect-all-enodes.sh` - Collect enodes from all nodes
- `besu-generate-allowlist.sh` - Generate allowlist files
- `besu-validate-allowlist.sh` - Validate enode formats
- `besu-deploy-allowlist.sh` - Deploy to containers
- `besu-verify-peers.sh` - Verify peer connections

### 4. Documentation ✅
- `docs/BESU_ALLOWLIST_RUNBOOK.md` - Comprehensive runbook
- `docs/BESU_ALLOWLIST_QUICK_START.md` - Quick reference
- `scripts/BESU_BALANCES_README.md` - Balance script docs

## Container Status

### Validators (1000-1004)
- 5 containers
- Status: All running, services active

### Sentries (1500-1503)
- 4 containers
- Status: All running, services active

### RPC Nodes (2500-2502)
- 3 containers
- Status: All running, services active
- RPC endpoints: http://192.168.11.{23,24,25}:8545

## Network Configuration

- Network ID: 138
- Consensus: QBFT
- All containers use DHCP for IP assignment
- VLAN tagging removed for unprivileged containers

## IP Address Mapping

| VMID | Hostname           | IP Address    |
|------|--------------------|---------------|
| 1000  | besu-validator-1   | 192.168.11.13 |
| 1001  | besu-validator-2   | 192.168.11.14 |
| 1002  | besu-validator-3   | 192.168.11.15 |
| 1003  | besu-validator-4   | 192.168.11.16 |
| 1004  | besu-validator-5   | 192.168.11.18 |
| 1500  | besu-sentry-2      | 192.168.11.19 |
| 1501  | besu-sentry-3      | 192.168.11.20 |
| 1502  | besu-sentry-4      | 192.168.11.21 |
| 1503  | besu-sentry-5      | 192.168.11.22 |
| 2500  | besu-rpc-1         | 192.168.11.23 |
| 2501  | besu-rpc-2         | 192.168.11.24 |
| 2502  | besu-rpc-3         | 192.168.11.25 |

## Usage Examples

### Query Balances
```bash
node scripts/besu_balances_106_117.js
```

### Verify Peers
```bash
bash scripts/besu-verify-peers.sh http://192.168.11.23:8545
```

### Check Service Status
```bash
pct exec <vmid> -- systemctl status besu-validator
# or
pct exec <vmid> -- systemctl status besu-sentry
# or
pct exec <vmid> -- systemctl status besu-rpc
```

## Next Steps (Optional)

1. Monitor peer connections as network stabilizes
2. Add sentry/RPC node enodes to allowlist when available
3. Set up monitoring and alerting
4. Deploy additional services (120-122, 150-153)

## Notes

- Validators don't expose RPC (security best practice)
- Only RPC nodes (2500-2502) have RPC endpoints enabled
- Allowlist currently includes validators only (correct for QBFT)
- All node IDs are validated to be exactly 128 hex characters
