Junod Local Dev Setup

Want to use junod locally for development, or to work with smart contracts? You're in the right place.
Using the Seed User
Juno ships with an unsafe seed user in dev mode when you run the prebuilt docker container below, or one of the options that uses docker-compose. You can import this user into the CLI by using the mnemonic from the Juno repo, i.e.:
1
junod keys add <unsafe-test-key-name> --recover
Copied!
When prompted, add the mnemonic:
1
clip hire initial neck maid actor venue client foam budget lock catalog sweet steak waste crater broccoli pipe steak sister coyote moment obvious choose
Copied!
You will then be returned an address to use: juno16g2rahf5846rxzp3fwlswy08fz8ccuwk03k57y
Run Juno
There is a prebuilt docker image for you to use. This will start a container with a seeded user. The address and mnemonic used here can be found in the docker/ directory of the repo. When you're done, you can use ctrl+c to stop the container running.
1
docker run -it \
2
  -p 26656:26656 \
3
  -p 26657:26657 \
4
  ghcr.io/cosmoscontracts/juno:latest \
5
  ./setup_and_run.sh juno16g2rahf5846rxzp3fwlswy08fz8ccuwk03k57y
Copied!
Quick(est) start dev build
The quickest way to get up-and-running for development purposes, as is documented in the main repo, is to run docker-compose up.
This builds and runs the node and:
Creates and initialises a validator
Adds a default user with a known address (juno16g2rahf5846rxzp3fwlswy08fz8ccuwk03k57y)
Quick(ish) start dev build
Okay, so you want more control, or you want more info. Maybe both!
Option 1: Using Docker
This usesdocker exec, which eliminates the need to install the binary.
1.Open two terminal tabs at the root of this repo.
2.In tab one, build and run Juno: docker-compose up
3.Switch to tab two and exec into the container: docker exec -it juno_node_1 /bin/sh
4.Run junod status. You should see JSON status for the Juno node running in Docker.
NB:
to force rebuild the container, use: docker-compose up --build
to run in daemon mode, use: docker-compose up -d
Option 2: Using junod (advanced/dev use)
This assumes you will connect to it via junod from outside the container.
1.Open two terminal tabs at the root of the junod repo.
2.In tab one, build and run Juno in blocking mode: ./scripts/build_and_run_blocking.sh. Once it has compiled, you should see blocks appearing.
3.Switch to tab two and build juno outside the container if you haven't already: make build && make install.
4.Run junod status. You should see JSON status for the Juno node running in Docker.
The RPC port for Juno is forwarded to your host, so as long as Docker is correctly set up, you can send it commands via the Juno binary, junod on your host.
Protip: running one of these scripts is also a decent sense-check that:
1.The build is still working
2.The Docker build is still working
3.The code is in a runnable state
Quickstart on the testnet with a public node
If you don't want to go through the process of setting up a node and just want to experiment with the Juno uni testnet:
1.Get a public node's RPC address.
2.In ~/.juno/config/client.toml set node="<public node RCP address>" and chain-id="uni-1".
3.Create a key to use by running junod keys add <key-name>.
4.Get that key's public address by running junod keys show <key-name> -a.
5.Get some test Juno by sending $request <key-address> in the #faucet Discord channel.
You can then verify that you have funds by running junod query bank balances <key-address>. Happy hacking!
