# staging env

## Staging environment for creature smart contracts

Staging environmnent is re-started after every commit to devel branch.

The envionment starts with all the developed contracts deployed. It also starts with pre-defined stacks accounts topped up, as specified in [Devnet.toml](https://github.com/Wannabe-games/creature-racer-stacks/blob/devel/protocol/settings/Devnet.toml).

### Staging environment endpoints

1. Stacks blockchain node REST API: <https://testnet.wannabe.games/api>
2. Stacks explorer app: <https://testnet.wannabe.games/stacks>

### Requirements

Staging environment should be Linux machine with same [requirements](https://github.com/Wannabe-games/creature-racer-stacks/blob/devel/doc/contract_clients.md) as for devnet and clarinet.

In addition you need tmux, git and ssh installed.

### Deployment automation

Staging machine is expected to be able to poll creature-racer-stacks git repository.

There is a script called [staging\_deploy.sh](https://github.com/Wannabe-games/creature-racer-stacks/blob/devel/ci/staging_deploy.sh), which will check if there are any changes upstream and, if that's the case, will fetch the changes and restart the environment. The script can be run by hand or be executed periodically from cron.

### Bootstrapping the environment

1. Be sure to setup SSH key infrastructure, so that the local working account can poll github repository. For the automation to work, the private key should not be password-protected.
2. Clone the creature-racer-stacks repository and checkout the branch that you want the staging env to track (i.e. devel).
3. Launch `ci/staging_deploy.sh`. This will bootsrap the environment in a detached tmux session.
4. `ci/staging_deploy.sh` can be run periodically from cron to update and restart the environment in case of upstream changes.

### Manually interacting with environment

To manually interact with the environment you can use `tmux ls` to identify the staging environment session followed by `tmux attach` to attach to this session.
